| Summary/Abstract |
Pakistan today confronts two key security challenges: a lethal Taliban insurgency and volatile nuclear relations with India. Though international attention has focused on the Obama administration's policies to address these challenges, the limits of American resources and influence in Pakistan require other states to collaboratively play a larger role. Pakistan's "all-weather" friend and neighbor, China, has historically enjoyed widespread credibility in Pakistan and has interests at stake there. Both factors could enable it to advance stability in Pakistan while promoting its own aim to become a diplomatic leader.
