“…TTP said they were responsible for a bombing of a hotel accommodating Chinese diplomats in Quetta in 2021 (Reuters, 2021). Another possible reason for the attack is that local nationalists view the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) as a threat to their autonomy and independence from Islamabad (Verma, 2020b). Considering the increasing number of targeted terror attacks on Chinese citizens and interests in the outlying areas of the CPEC in Baluchistan, China and Pakistan need to jointly address TTP’s concerns and the TTP threat/challenge.…”

“…China believes that poverty is the root cause of extremism and terrorism, and sanctions will further aggravate the spread of terrorism and extremism in Afghanistan. The NSC and BRI aim to reduce the spread of terrorism by addressing development issues (Verma, 2020b). After the withdrawal of the US troops, China announced humanitarian aid worth US$31 million to Afghanistan and emphasised that the country should not become a haven for terrorism.…”

After the catastrophic 9/11 terrorist attacks, the United States (US) launched a war in Afghanistan to combat terrorism as a major non‐traditional security threat. Twenty years later, Afghanistan is still struggling for solidarity, stability, and development, and remains a hotbed for transnational terrorism. Although observers view China as a key player in Afghanistan, which will fill the strategic vacuum left by the US withdrawal, a successful Chinese approach in Afghanistan depends on many factors including the US competition strategy vis‐à‐vis China, the Taliban's rule, neighbouring countries’ interests and choices with respect to Afghanistan, and other factors. Therefore, China may devise a realistic, pragmatic, constructive, and cooperative approach to address the non‐traditional security challenges in Afghanistan. Taking due cognisance of the bitter stories of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, China maintained a low‐key stance in Afghanistan after the Soviets withdrew from the country. After 1991, to address the security concerns in Xinjiang, China supported the building of a stable, peaceful, and prosperous Afghanistan and seeks to avoid any military presence in the country. China will largely maintain this prudent approach in Afghanistan after US withdrawal from the country.

“…In addition to border disputes, the two countries have clashed over Tibet and the Dalai Lama, as well as over influence and strategic space in South Asia, East Asia, and the Indian Ocean. Additionally, China’s ‘all‐weather’ strategic partnership with Pakistan has been an enduring problem for India, which sees China using Pakistan as a ‘cat’s paw’ to keep India enmeshed in South Asian affairs, inhibit India’s ability to channel its energies to challenge China’s aspirations to become the pre‐eminent power in the Asia‐Pacific, and curtail India’s rise as a global power (Verma, 2020).…”

“…Under the New Asian Security Concept enunciated by President Xi Jinping in 2014, China envisions a bipolar world order with the US and China as the two poles and a unipolar Asia with China at the helm. India on the other hand envisions a multipolar world order and a multipolar Asia with India as one of the poles (Verma, 2020). Over the past decade, India’s growing military capabilities, strong national leadership under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and its close association with the US and Japan have raised concerns in China (Mao and Li, 2020).…”

In only a decade, the BRICS group has achieved policy coordination among five very disparate countries and has started presenting a serious challenge to the status quo in global governance. It is now collaborating on many policy issues and delegating authority to a range of BRICS organizations. Since the inception of BRICS, the protracted India-China rivalry has cast a dark shadow over the group. In the aftermath of the India-China standoff in Ladakh, especially the Galwan Valley clash evoking memories of more serious clashes such as those at Nathu La in 1967 and even the 1962 border war, a crucial axis of BRICS cooperationthe India-China relationshiphas deteriorated. This Special Section examines whether the India-China rivalry will render BRICS dysfunctional. Will the BRICS group be broken? The contributors will analyse whether BRICS can be a pacifying force and outline the prospects for the development of BRICS in light of the India-China crisis.

“…48 One recent study found that China repeatedly thwarted the blacklisting the JeM chief, fearing that the terrorists will eventually retaliate and undermine China's broader geopolitical interests in Pakistan, including regional stability, the Belt and Road Initiative, and the pursuit of the "China Dream." 49 China's retreat from supporting Pakistan during the second voting, according to analysts, was driven by Beijing's disgruntlement with Islamabad's inaction against the militant groups operating in the country. 50 In this way, China also had something to gain from Pakistan's greylisting-though Beijing had no direct role in moving the FATF against Islamabad.…”

The geopolitics of Pakistan’s 2018 greylisting by the Financial Action Task Force

This article argues that, in addition to the valid reasons for Pakistan’s greylisting by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) in 2018, geopolitical dynamics also played a crucial role behind this development. While the United States (US) under the Trump administration pushed Pakistan to seek an end to “the longest war” in Afghanistan, India, hoping to curb cross-border terrorism, capitalized on this momentum to pressure Pakistan. In order to hastily greylist Pakistan, institutional procedures of the FATF were thus disregarded. The case study demonstrates how economic coercion was used to push Pakistan to accept US and FATF demands. This article argues that Pakistan’s greylisting has created a win-for-all scenario for now. But these gains should not be overrated. Pakistan’s implementation of FATF requirements faces significant structural limitations. Still, the consensus between major actors underscores the potential of the FATF to counter money laundering and financing of terrorism globally.
