In a landmark development that could reshape the political and economic landscape of South Asia, China, Pakistan, and Bangladesh have emerged as a strategic triangle of cooperation, marked by a shared vision for peace, development, connectivity, and regional harmony. A recent joint statement issued after high-level trilateral engagements underlined their commitment to economic collaboration, multilateralism, regional stability, and inclusive growth. The statement emphasized respect for sovereignty, non-interference in internal affairs, peaceful coexistence, and the importance of multilateral cooperation for global and regional challenges.
This alliance is more than a diplomatic convergence—it is a manifestation of mutual interests, shared histories, and common aspirations. At its core, it represents a peaceful, development-oriented alternative to the hegemonic tendencies of certain powers in the region, most notably India, whose policies have alienated nearly all of its neighbors. In contrast, China’s approach of consultation, cooperation, and mutual respect offers an inclusive model for regional integration.
Commonalities that Bind: A Shared Historical and Strategic Understanding
Pakistan, Bangladesh, and China enjoy longstanding diplomatic ties characterized by mutual trust and respect. Each country has gone through its own historical struggles—colonial exploitation, political upheavals, and developmental hurdles—but each has emerged with a forward-looking vision rooted in economic transformation, peace, and sovereignty.
Pakistan and Bangladesh, despite their historical past, have shown increasing willingness to engage in constructive diplomacy, trade facilitation, and people-to-people ties. Both are developing nations with large populations, youthful demographics, and untapped potential. Both are key players in China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)—Pakistan through the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and Bangladesh through multiple connectivity and infrastructure projects.
China, the world’s second-largest economy and a pillar of the Global South, brings technological, financial, and diplomatic strength. Importantly, it is not driven by neocolonial ambitions, but by a vision of “a shared future for mankind,” as repeatedly articulated by President Xi Jinping. China’s consistent support for peaceful development and win-win cooperation provides the ideological backbone for this trilateral alliance.
Convergence of Interests: Building Blocks of Strategic Cooperation
Several overlapping interests make this trilateral alliance natural and robust:
- Economic Growth and Development: All three countries are committed to poverty reduction, sustainable development, and job creation. China’s development model, particularly its experience of lifting over 800 million people out of poverty, serves as an inspiration for Pakistan and Bangladesh. Economic corridors, industrial parks, special economic zones, and digital connectivity are areas of immediate cooperation.
- Connectivity and Trade: Pakistan offers geostrategic access to Central Asia and the Middle East through the Gwadar Port. Bangladesh, situated along the Bay of Bengal, is a gateway to Southeast Asia. With China’s expertise and investments, the vision of a seamless regional connectivity network is within reach—spanning highways, railroads, energy grids, and digital corridors.
- Peace and Security: All three countries support a stable and peaceful region. They oppose unilateral actions, militarization, and coercive diplomacy. Cooperation on counterterrorism, cybersecurity, maritime security, and non-traditional security threats such as climate change and pandemics is gaining momentum.
- Multilateralism and Regionalism: Pakistan, Bangladesh, and China are strong proponents of multilateral dialogue, particularly through platforms like the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), BRICS+, and the United Nations. They support reforms in global governance to make it more representative and just.
Challenging Indian Hegemony: A Regional Realignment
India, despite its democratic slogans, has consistently sought to dominate its neighbors through economic coercion, water politics, border aggression, trade restrictions, and political interference. Nepal, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Bhutan, Pakistan, and Bangladesh have all, at various points, been on the receiving end of Indian pressure.
The emergence of a China-Pakistan-Bangladesh axis sends a powerful signal: regional cooperation cannot be held hostage by India’s insecurities or hegemonic fantasies. India’s rejection of multilateral connectivity initiatives like the BRI, its handling of Kashmir, its citizenship laws targeting Muslims, and its persistent military posturing reflect a narrow, exclusivist vision that stands in sharp contrast to the inclusive and developmental approach of this new alliance.
India’s dream of dominating South Asia may finally be unraveling, not due to external interference, but because of its own choices and alienating behavior. It is increasingly being seen not as a leader, but as a spoiler of peace, particularly in the context of border disputes with China, aggressive naval deployments, and interference in neighboring countries’ domestic politics.
The Indian Ocean: Securing Peace and Preventing Militarization
The Indian Ocean Region (IOR) is fast becoming a geopolitical hotspot. China’s growing cooperation with Pakistan and Bangladesh enhances maritime connectivity, trade security, and naval coordination. China’s Maritime Silk Road, Gwadar Port in Pakistan, and proposed port developments in Bangladesh could collectively form a string of peace, countering the string of aggression projected by Indian military bases and aggressive doctrines.
A multilateral maritime security framework, led by peaceful states and focused on humanitarian assistance, anti-piracy, and ecological conservation, could emerge as an alternative to unilateral militarization.
A South Asia Minus India, Plus China: A Vision for the Future
With India increasingly isolated due to its unilateral policies, a new South Asia is possible—a South Asia that thrives on cooperation, connectivity, and common prosperity. The China-Pakistan-Bangladesh trio can form the nucleus of a South Asian Renaissance, one that other countries like Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, and Maldives could join over time.
Imagine a South Asia+China community, with open borders for trade, people-to-people exchanges, integrated energy systems, climate cooperation, and digital transformation. In such a scenario, India would face a stark choice: either continue its path of confrontation and risk marginalization, or return to the table of cooperative diplomacy.
This alliance could also lay the foundation for an Asian Security and Development Architecture, similar to the European Union’s beginnings. Small and medium-sized South Asian nations, long subjected to Indian coercion, would finally find strategic balance and voice through an inclusive regional order.
China as Peacemaker, India as Peace Spoiler
China’s role in the region is increasingly that of a peacemaker and stabilizer. From brokering peace between Saudi Arabia and Iran, to proposing the Global Development Initiative (GDI) and Global Security Initiative (GSI), China is proving that it is willing to shoulder responsibility for global good.
In contrast, India under its current leadership has taken a confrontational posture, militarizing its foreign policy, polarizing its domestic politics, and alienating minorities and neighbors alike. Its rejection of international arbitration, unilateral revocation of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status, and aggressive doctrines like “Cold Start” reflect a deeply troubling mindset.
It is time to redefine leadership in South Asia. Leadership should not be about domination; it should be about service, cooperation, and inspiration. China, by investing in regional infrastructure, offering developmental loans without strings, and encouraging cultural exchanges, has shown the way.
A New Dawn for South Asia
The China-Pakistan-Bangladesh alliance is not an exclusive club; it is an invitation to all countries in the region to join hands for a better future. It is rooted in values of mutual respect, win-win cooperation, and peaceful coexistence. It offers a powerful alternative to India’s zero-sum, hegemonic approach.
This is a moment of strategic opportunity. The world is watching, and the Global South is rising. If South Asian countries seize this moment, set aside their fears, and embrace this new framework, the next generation will inherit a region that is not a theatre of war, but a hub of prosperity, connectivity, and harmony.
As the Chinese saying goes, “When people are of one mind and heart, they can move Mount Tai.” Let South Asia, minus hegemony and plus cooperation, move mountains together—for peace, for development, and for the dignity of all its peoples.
中国、巴基斯坦和孟加拉国形成了和平、发展、互联互通、地区和谐的战略合作三角，这一具有里程碑意义的发展可能重塑南亚政治和经济格局。最近，三国高层接触后发表联合声明，强调三国致力于经济合作、多边主义、地区稳定和包容性增长。声明强调尊重主权、不干涉内政、和平共处，以及多边合作应对全球和地区挑战的重要性。
这一联盟不仅仅是一种外交上的融合——它是共同利益、共同历史和共同愿望的体现。从本质上讲，它代表了一种和平的、以发展为导向的替代方案，以取代该地区某些大国的霸权倾向，尤其是印度，其政策疏远了几乎所有邻国。相反，中国的协商、合作和相互尊重的方式为区域一体化提供了包容的模式。
结合的共性：一种共同的历史和战略理解
巴基斯坦、孟加拉国和中国有着长期的相互信任和尊重的外交关系。每个国家都经历了历史上的斗争——殖民剥削、政治动荡和发展障碍——但每个国家都以植根于经济转型、和平与主权的前瞻性愿景出现。
尽管巴基斯坦和孟加拉国有着历史联系，但两国在开展建设性外交、贸易便利化和民间联系方面表现出越来越强的意愿。两国都是发展中国家，人口众多，人口年轻，潜力尚未开发。两国都是中国通过中巴经济走廊（CPEC）和孟加拉国通过多个互联互通和基础设施项目提出的“一带一路”倡议（BRI）的关键参与者。
中国作为世界第二大经济体和全球南方的支柱，带来了技术、金融和外交实力。中国一贯支持和平发展、合作共赢，是中日韩同盟的思想支柱。
利益融合：战略合作的基石
一些重叠的利益使这个三边联盟自然而强大：
经济增长与发展：三国都致力于减少贫困、可持续发展和创造就业机会。中国的发展模式，特别是使8亿多人口摆脱贫困的经验，对巴基斯坦和孟加拉国具有借鉴意义。经济走廊、工业园区、经济特区、数字互联互通等是当前合作领域。
互联互通和贸易：巴基斯坦通过瓜达尔港提供了通往中亚和中东的地缘战略通道。孟加拉国位于孟加拉湾沿岸，是通往东南亚的门户。有了中国的专业知识和投资，跨越高速公路、铁路、能源网和数字走廊的无缝区域互联网络的愿景是可以实现的。
和平与安全：三国都支持地区稳定与和平。他们反对单边行动、军事化和强制外交。反恐、网络安全、海上安全、气候变化、疫情等非传统安全威胁等领域合作深入发展。
多边主义和地区主义：巴基斯坦、孟加拉国和中国都是多边对话的坚定支持者，特别是通过上海合作组织、“金砖国家+”和联合国等平台。双方支持改革全球治理，使其更具代表性和公正性。
挑战印度霸权：地区重组
印度尽管打着民主的口号，却一直试图通过经济胁迫、水政治、边界侵略、贸易限制和政治干预来支配邻国。尼泊尔、斯里兰卡、马尔代夫、不丹、巴基斯坦和孟加拉国都在不同程度上受到了印度的压力。
中国-巴基斯坦-孟加拉国轴心的出现发出了一个强有力的信号：地区合作不能被印度的不安全感或霸权幻想所挟持。印度对“一带一路”等多边互联互通倡议的拒绝、对克什米尔问题的处理、针对穆斯林的公民法以及持续的军事姿态，反映了一种狭隘的、排他性的愿景，与这个新联盟的包容和发展方式形成鲜明对比。
印度统治南亚的梦想可能最终会破灭，不是因为外部干涉，而是因为它自己的选择和疏远的行为。它越来越被视为和平的破坏者，而不是领导者，特别是在与中国的边界争端、咄咄逼人的海军部署和干涉邻国国内政治的背景下。
印度洋：确保和平与防止军事化
印度洋地区正迅速成为一个地缘政治热点。中国与巴基斯坦、孟加拉国的合作不断加强，促进了海上互联互通、贸易安全和海军协调。中国的海上丝绸之路，巴基斯坦的瓜达尔港，以及孟加拉国拟议中的港口发展，可以共同形成一系列和平，对抗印度军事基地和侵略主义所投射的一系列侵略。
一个由和平国家主导、以人道主义援助、反海盗和生态保护为重点的多边海上安全框架可能会成为单边军事化的替代方案。
南亚减去印度，加上中国：对未来的展望
随着印度因其单边政策而日益孤立，一个新的南亚是可能的——一个因合作、互联互通和共同繁荣而蓬勃发展的南亚。中国-巴基斯坦-孟加拉国三国可以形成南亚复兴的核心，尼泊尔、斯里兰卡、不丹和马尔代夫等其他国家也可以随着时间的推移加入其中。
想象一个开放边界的南亚+中国共同体，促进贸易、人文交流、综合能源系统、气候合作和数字化转型。在这种情况下，印度将面临一个严峻的选择：要么继续走对抗之路，冒着被边缘化的风险，要么回到合作外交的桌前。
这一联盟还可以为亚洲安全与发展架构奠定基础，类似于欧盟的起源。长期受到印度胁迫的南亚中小国家最终将通过包容性的地区秩序找到战略平衡和发言权。
中国是和平缔造者，印度是和平破坏者
中国在该地区的角色日益成为和平缔造者和稳定者。从促成沙特阿拉伯和伊朗之间的和平，到提出“全球发展倡议”和“全球安全倡议”，中国正在证明自己愿意为全球利益承担责任。
相比之下，印度在目前的领导下采取了对抗的姿态，使其外交政策军事化，国内政治两极分化，疏远少数民族和邻国。它拒绝国际仲裁，单方面撤销查谟和克什米尔的特殊地位，以及“冷启动”等咄咄逼人的教条，反映了一种令人深感不安的心态。
现在是重新定义南亚领导力的时候了。领导不应该是支配；它应该是关于服务、合作和激励。中国通过投资地区基础设施、提供无附加条件的发展贷款、鼓励文化交流，已经指明了道路。
南亚迎来新的黎明
中国-巴基斯坦-孟加拉国联盟不是一个排外的俱乐部；这是对本地区各国携手共创美好未来的邀请。它植根于相互尊重、合作共赢、和平共处的价值观。它为印度的零和霸权策略提供了一个强有力的替代方案。
这是一个战略机遇的时刻。全世界都在注视着，全球南方正在崛起。假设南亚国家抓住这一时机，抛开恐惧，接受这一新的框架。在这种情况下，下一代将继承一个不是战区的地区，而是一个繁荣、互联互通与和谐的中心。
中国有句谚语：“众志成城，可以移泰山。”让南亚在没有霸权和合作的情况下，为了和平、发展和所有人民的尊严，共同移山。
