In 1997, writing in Miniature Wargames magazine, Jim Webster predicted a possible war between Pakistan and China – or at least sharp raids and strikes by China into Pakistan – over Pakistan support for Muslim insurgents in China. He also speculated that Russia would be willing to support Muslim insurgents in China. He saw India as a possible Chinese ally, with Russia, the USA, South Korea, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia supporting Pakistan. Doesn't seem to have happened. Why not?

India is more of a concern to the Chinese than Pakistan.

Well, I've read that 1 Million plus are in Chinese re-education camps, so…….

Also, Russia is building an alliance with China v. the US, so it would be kinda of dumb to give China the middle finger at this juncture.

Maybe the nations cited realize that war is generally a very expensive, bloody endeavor that rarely provides the results one seeks. You know, self-interest.
