China's Discreet Hold on Pakistan's Northern Borderlands
By SELIG S. HARRISON
Published: August 26, 2010

While the world focuses on the flood-ravaged Indus River valley, a quiet geopolitical crisis is unfolding in the Himalayan borderlands of northern Pakistan, where Islamabad is handing over de facto control of the strategic Gilgit-Baltistan region in the northwest corner of disputed Kashmir to China.

The entire Pakistan-occupied western portion of Kashmir stretching from Gilgit in the north to Azad (Free) Kashmir in the south is closed to the world, in contrast to the media access that India permits in the eastern part, where it is combating a Pakistan-backed insurgency. But reports from a variety of foreign intelligence sources, Pakistani journalists and Pakistani human rights workers reveal two important new developments in Gilgit-Baltistan: a simmering rebellion against Pakistani rule and the influx of an estimated 7,000 to 11,000 soldiers of the People』s Liberation Army.

China wants a grip on the region to assure unfettered road and rail access to the Gulf through Pakistan. It takes 16 to 25 days for Chinese oil tankers to reach the Gulf. When high-speed rail and road links through Gilgit and Baltistan are completed, China will be able to transport cargo from Eastern China to the new Chinese-built Pakistani naval bases at Gwadar, Pasni and Ormara, just east of the Gulf, within 48 hours.

Many of the P.L.A. soldiers entering Gilgit-Baltistan are expected to work on the railroad. Some are extending the Karakoram Highway, built to link China』s Sinkiang Province with Pakistan. Others are working on dams, expressways and other projects.

Mystery surrounds the construction of 22 tunnels in secret locations where Pakistanis are barred. Tunnels would be necessary for a projected gas pipeline from Iran to China that would cross the Himalayas through Gilgit. But they could also be used for missile storage sites.

Until recently, the P.L.A. construction crews lived in temporary encampments and went home after completing their assignments. Now they are building big residential enclaves clearly designed for a long-term presence.

What is happening in the region matters to Washington for two reasons. Coupled with its support for the Taliban, Islamabad』s collusion in facilitating China』s access to the Gulf makes clear that Pakistan is not a U.S. 「ally.」 Equally important, the nascent revolt in the Gilgit-Baltistan region is a reminder that Kashmiri demands for autonomy on both sides of the cease-fire line would have to be addressed in a settlement.

Media attention has exposed the repression of the insurgency in the Indian-ruled Kashmir Valley. But if reporters could get into the Gilgit-Baltistan region and Azad Kashmir, they would find widespread, brutally-suppressed local movements for democratic rights and regional autonomy.

When the British partitioned South Asia in 1947, the maharajah who ruled Kashmir, including Gilgit and Baltistan, acceded to India. This set off intermittent conflict that ended with Indian control of the Kashmir Valley, the establishment of Pakistan-sponsored Free Kashmir in western Kashmir, and Pakistan』s occupation of Gilgit and Baltistan, where Sunni jihadi groups allied with the Pakistan Army have systematically terrorized the local Shiite Muslims.

Gilgit and Baltistan are in effect under military rule. Democratic activists there want a legislature and other institutions without restrictions like the ones imposed on Free Kashmir, where the elected legislature controls only 4 out of 56 subjects covered in the state constitution. The rest are under the jurisdiction of a 「Kashmir Council」 appointed by the president of Pakistan.

India gives more power to the state government in Srinagar; elections there are widely regarded as fair, and open discussion of demands for autonomy is permitted. But the Pakistan-abetted insurgency in the Kashmir Valley has added to tensions between Indian occupation forces and an assertive population seeking greater of local autonomy.

The United States is uniquely situated to play a moderating role in Kashmir, given its growing economic and military ties with India and Pakistan』s aid dependence on Washington. Such a role should be limited to quiet diplomacy. Washington should press New Delhi to resume autonomy negotiations with Kashmiri separatists. Success would put pressure on Islamabad for comparable concessions in Free Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. In Pakistan, Washington should focus on getting Islamabad to stop aiding the insurgency in the Kashmir Valley and to give New Delhi a formal commitment that it will not annex Gilgit and Baltistan.

Precisely because the Gilgit-Baltistan region is so important to China, the United States, India and Pakistan should work together to make sure that it is not overwhelmed, like Tibet, by the Chinese behemoth.

巴基斯坦把克什米爾部分地區的控制權交給中國（圖）

中國謹慎控制巴基斯坦北部邊境

一場地緣政治危機正在地處喜馬拉雅山區的巴基斯坦北部邊境悄然上演。吉爾吉特-伯爾蒂斯坦地區位於存在爭議的克什米爾地區的西北角，伊斯蘭堡正在把這塊具有戰略意義的地區的實際控制權轉交給中國。

巴基斯坦佔據的克什米爾西部地區北起吉爾吉特，南到阿扎德。多名外國情報消息人士報告說，巴基斯坦記者和人權工作者透露，在吉爾吉特-伯爾蒂斯坦地區出現了兩大最新進展：一是當地在醞釀反抗巴基斯坦統治的活動，二是估計有7000到11000名解放軍開進當地。

中國希望控制這片地區，以確保自己不受限制地利用公路和鐵路經巴基斯坦到達海灣地區。中國油輪要花16到25天時間才能抵達海灣地區。當經過吉爾吉特-伯爾蒂斯坦的高速鐵路和公路完工後，中國就能夠從本國東部向自己在瓜德爾、伯斯尼和奧爾馬拉等地----這些地方緊鄰海灣地區東部----新建的巴基斯坦海軍基地運輸貨物，斯運輸時間在48小時以內。

許多開進吉爾吉特-伯爾蒂斯坦地區的解放軍官兵預計將參與鐵路修建工作。一些解放軍在延長連接中國新疆與巴基斯坦的一條公路，還有些軍人在修建大壩和高速公路等其他設施。

中方在一些禁止巴基斯坦人出入的秘密地點修建了22處隧道。中國計劃修建從伊朗到中國的天然氣管道，修這條經吉爾吉特穿過喜馬拉雅山的管道必須建造隧道。但是這些隧道也可能用作導彈存放點。

不久以前，解放軍建築隊都住在臨時營地里，並在完成任務后返回國內駐地。他們目前在建設大型居住區，這顯然是為了長期駐紮而建。

大量解放軍開進克什米爾，巴控制權轉交給中國!

　　克什米爾地區由兩個國家分治：巴基斯坦控制了西北部地區(自由克什米爾和克什米爾北部地區)，印度控制了中部和南部地區(查謨-克什米爾邦)。印度方面則聲稱中華人民共和國控制了部分東北部地區(阿克賽欽和喀喇崑崙走廊)。錫亞琴冰川同時被印度和巴基斯坦所控制，印度控制了其中大部分地區，而巴基斯坦則控制了其中較低的山峰。


　　巴基斯坦聲稱對除所謂「中控克什米爾」以外的地區都是巴基斯坦領土，而印度一直沒有正式承認中國和巴基斯坦對該地區的控制權，聲稱包括中巴於1963年簽署的邊界所劃歸中國的喀喇崑崙走廊地區等都屬於印度領土。巴基斯坦將整個克什米爾地區視為有爭議的領土，而印度則援引其憲法證明克什米爾地區為印度不可分割的一部分。

　　克什米爾地區也有一部分人傾向於獨立建國，但是由於種種原因受到印度和巴基斯坦的共同反對。由於印巴兩國都擁有核武器，克什米爾向來被認為是世界上最具危險性的領土爭端之一。印巴兩國為了爭奪克什米爾地區曾經爆發了三場戰爭：1947年第一次印巴戰爭、1965年第二次印巴戰爭和1971年第三次印巴戰爭，還有最近一次1999年在印控克什米爾的卡吉爾地區爆發的卡吉爾邊境衝突(某些人稱為第四次克什米爾戰爭)。
