With U.S. military aid cut, Pakistan eyes China

With U.S. military aid cut, Pakistan eyes China - World Watch - CBS News:

"On Sunday, the senior Pakistani official who spoke to CBS News on condition of anonymity following the Times report said, 'This tightening of U.S. military aid was expected. That's where our long-term relations with China will help to meet this gap.'

In recent weeks, Pakistani officials have pointed towards China's increasing role in the past decade as its main supplier of military hardware, as Pakistan established closer ties to the U.S. campaign against terror following the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington."
