Historically has the relationship been your countries and the two other countries (individually) been amicable, hostile, or neutral? Briefly (6-8 Sentences) explain

Pakistan:
As the US/India pack strengthens the agreements and peaceful relationship b/w China and Pakistan has grown. They share boundary pacts, friendship agreements, military support, and nuclear power funding. They have agreed to support each other’s economies by offering unlimited trading of natural resources and imports/exports. Although here is some religious disagreement between Islam and the ancient Chinese beliefs, the Sino-Pakistani relationship has been strong. Unfortunately, this strong relationship has created a higher level of hatred towards India and the USA over the past years.

India:
The Sino-Indian relationship has been controversial and has ranged from times of war to times of peace. Being the two most populated and fast growing economies in the world, their relationship is crucial to world relations. They have rivaled in their attempts of superiority and their disputes over Islam, Buddhism, borders, resources, and Pakistan. Lately, the Chinese and Indian leaders have tried to reunite and strengthen trading, diplomatic, and military ties
