China Firmly Supports Pakistan’s Right to Peaceful Use of Water, Warns India Against Violations: Chinese Analyst Victor Gao
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Introduction: China’s Stance on Pakistan’s Water Rights

BEIJING — In a significant statement reflecting the geopolitical complexities of South Asia’s water sharing issues, renowned Chinese analyst Professor Victor Gao has issued a stern warning to India. Gao emphasized that China would firmly uphold Pakistan’s sovereign rights, including its peaceful use of water resources, and would not tolerate any violation of Pakistan’s territorial integrity and water rights.

This warning comes amid ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan over the use and management of transboundary rivers in the region. The statement highlights China’s strategic position in this tri-lateral water dispute and underscores the sensitive nature of water politics in South Asia.

Background: Water Disputes in South Asia

Water sharing has long been a contentious issue in South Asia, particularly between India and Pakistan, two countries that share the Indus River Basin. The Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) of 1960, brokered by the World Bank, governs the allocation of water from the Indus river system between the two countries. Under this treaty, India controls the three eastern rivers (Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej), while Pakistan controls the three western rivers (Indus, Chenab, and Jhelum).

Despite the treaty’s framework, India and Pakistan have frequently accused each other of violating water-sharing agreements. India has embarked on several water infrastructure projects, which Pakistan claims restrict its water supply and amount to “water aggression.” This has led to heightened tensions and diplomatic strains, often escalating into broader geopolitical disputes.

China’s Role: Upper Stream Influence and Strategic Positioning

Professor Victor Gao pointed out China’s critical geographical and strategic role in this water conflict. China occupies the upper stream of several transboundary rivers that flow into both India and Pakistan, including tributaries of the Indus River. This upper stream positioning gives China a significant influence over water resources that affect downstream countries.

Gao stressed that China’s position obliges it to respect the sovereignty and rights of downstream countries, especially Pakistan, with whom China shares a strong strategic partnership, including through projects like the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). He underscored that China would not allow India to interfere with Pakistan’s right to use water peacefully, reinforcing China’s support for Pakistan’s territorial and water rights.

Professor Victor Gao’s Warning to India

In a recent interview with an Indian news channel, Professor Gao addressed the ongoing water dispute, highlighting the importance of peaceful negotiations and mutual respect among nations sharing water resources. He advised India to refrain from any actions that would harm its neighbors, echoing the age-old adage, “Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.”

Gao’s remarks are a direct caution to India to avoid unilateral water projects or aggressive actions that could destabilize the fragile water-sharing agreements. His comments also highlight China’s growing influence and willingness to back Pakistan diplomatically in regional disputes, signaling Beijing’s role as a key power broker in South Asia.

Importance of Peaceful Water Distribution and Regional Stability

Water is a critical and often scarce resource in South Asia, essential not only for agriculture and drinking water but also for maintaining social harmony and economic development. The Indus River system sustains millions of lives in both Pakistan and India, making water cooperation vital for regional peace.

Professor Gao’s emphasis on peaceful water distribution highlights the necessity for dialogue and diplomatic engagement rather than confrontation. Any disruption or conflict over water could have severe humanitarian consequences, exacerbate existing tensions, and potentially escalate into military conflict.

China’s Support for Pakistan in Broader Geopolitical Context

China’s strong backing of Pakistan in matters of water rights and sovereignty aligns with its broader strategic interests in the region. China and Pakistan have maintained a close alliance for decades, marked by economic cooperation, military collaboration, and shared concerns about India’s regional policies.

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a flagship project under China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), enhances China’s investment and influence in Pakistan. Water security forms a critical component of this relationship, as stable access to water is essential for the success of infrastructure and economic development projects.

By supporting Pakistan’s rights, China is not only asserting its geopolitical influence but also protecting the viability of its investments and partnerships in the region.

India’s Position and Challenges

India, which controls the upper and middle streams of the Indus river system within its own territory, argues that it has the right to develop infrastructure for its growing population and energy needs. India’s hydroelectric projects and water storage facilities have been sources of contention with Pakistan, which fears reduced water flow downstream.

Despite the Indus Waters Treaty’s resilience over the years, including surviving multiple conflicts, the treaty has faced increased strain amid political tensions. India’s recent actions, including moves to change the legal status of Jammu and Kashmir, have further complicated water relations with Pakistan.

India also has its water disputes internally, with states within India disputing river water sharing. These multifaceted water challenges make regional cooperation both more difficult and more necessary.

The Path Forward: Dialogue and Cooperation

Professor Gao’s remarks suggest that the best path forward involves peaceful dialogue and respect for international treaties. Given the critical nature of water for millions in South Asia, maintaining open communication channels and adhering to existing agreements like the Indus Waters Treaty are essential.

Experts and analysts from various countries have emphasized the importance of water diplomacy, joint water management projects, and confidence-building measures to prevent water-related conflicts. Regional cooperation forums, supported by international mediators, could provide platforms for resolving disputes and promoting shared benefits.

Conclusion: China’s Firm Message and Regional Implications

China’s vocal support for Pakistan’s water rights and its clear warning to India underscore the high stakes involved in South Asia’s water disputes. Professor Victor Gao’s statement reiterates that China views Pakistan’s sovereignty and peaceful use of water as non-negotiable and will not tolerate interference.

As tensions simmer over shared rivers, this development signals the need for all parties to prioritize peaceful resolution and cooperative management of transboundary waters. The future of water security in South Asia will depend largely on the willingness of India, Pakistan, and China to engage constructively, respect each other’s rights, and avoid actions that could destabilize the region.
