Abstract

Asia has been benefiting enormously from globalization but also encapsulates many of the world’s problems. Pakistan being strategically positioned in Asia has become a lucrative platform for moulding economic and strategic gains on any corner, where the competition of becoming superpower has its own objectives and goals. China being influenced by a strong economic boost has a hard-hitting impact across the globe, thus, making market competitors worried about their investment. There are vital signs that this vibrant and diverse region can work together and rise to offer some of the solutions. The US being a global economic power cannot afford to lose its dominance and hegemony, particularly, in Asia; however, it finds imbalances in terms of trade, market competition, and enormous economic threat from China. There is a need of putting a rest situation in Kabul for which the US cannot wish away the geopolitical importance of Pakistan. This paper, therefore, looks deeply into the blending policies of the US towards Pakistan amid China’s growing economic influence worldwide. It also highlights that Pakistan needs to create a balance by defining a formula for having a sound relationship internationally without compromising its national interest.
