China basically has slapped India and US on the face with this double nuke plant deal.

This is not the first time though,China has been helping Pakistan for decades now with their nuclear and airforce infrastructure.China will never tolerate US millitary bases in pakistan and a strong India and to achieve that China has always and will continue to support Pakistan no matter if the bogus threat of 'islamic terrorism' exists or not.

Hmm having nuclear deals doesn't sound like a power play to me espicially to a country that the world thinks will fall into the hands of 'islamic extremists' very soon.
