Space War - China, Pakistan plan 'economic corridor': Li
AFP reports: "Chinese Premier Li Keqiang Wednesday linked growth in his country's restive west with that in sluggish Pakistan, saying the two sides wanted to create an 'economic corridor' to boost development. [...] Trade between China and Pakistan hit an annual $12 billion for the first time last year [...] China is also the main source of arms for Pakistan's military, the country's dominant institution, and Pakistan accounted for more than half of Chinese weapons exports between 2008 and 2012, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute."
