Pakistan has given the United States a big gift of rare earths, and Bangladesh has officially announced the purchase of 20 J-10CE fighter jets, indicating that China has made a big move in South Asia
According to U.S. media reports, Pakistan is inviting the United States to build a deep-water port in Pasni in the Arabian Sea, which is only 112 kilometers away from China's Gwadar Port. In addition, Pakistan has signed an agreement with the United States on rare earth mining, which can be said to be a big gift of rare earths for the United States.
It can be said that after the India-Pakistan air battle, Pakistan's international status has rapidly risen. Trump not only invited Pakistan twice to visit the White House, but also repeatedly lured it.
In response to this situation, China first imposed comprehensive export controls on rare earth equipment and technology. It seems that Pakistan's dream of building a rare earth production line has been completely shattered. This move by China directly undermined the U.S. plan to bypass China's rare earth resources through third parties.
Additionally, Bangladesh has officially announced the purchase of 20 J-10CE fighter jets. In addition to the aircraft, Bangladesh will also receive pilot and maintenance personnel training from AVIC, as well as fighter jet logistics support and technical support after 2035.
It is worth noting that Bangladesh is located on the delta formed by the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers in the northeastern part of the South Asian subcontinent. Its geographical location is very important, as it is at the key node connecting East Asia, Southeast Asia with South Asia and West Asia.
At the same time, Bangladesh is surrounded by India on the east, west, and north, and faces security pressure at the border with Myanmar. The introduction of the J-10CE will completely change this situation.
After Bangladesh confirmed the procurement of the J-10CE, India faces not only a threat from one direction, but a complex situation where both the east and west fronts are equipped with the same advanced fighter jets.
Besides, Bangladesh's procurement of the J-10CE can also serve as a warning to its "iron brother" Pakistan. If it is an iron brother, then it should be truly iron. After all, the reason why the India-Pakistan air battle could elevate Pakistan's international status is because of China's fighter jets, right?
