Abstract
This research paper delves into the pivotal role of Pakistan within the context of the Sino-US rivalry, which has cast a shadow over the country. The aim of this research paper is to examine the consequences of the Sino-US rivalry specifically on Pakistan. It is evident that this rivalry has significantly disrupted socio-political unity and exacerbated political instability within Pakistan. The escalating power struggle between the United States and China has magnified its detrimental effects across various sectors of the country. Primarily, the growing dominance of the United States has raised concerns among Chinese officials, subsequently paving the way for Beijing's economic and strategic interests within Pakistani territory. This chapter consists of two key sections: firstly, elucidating Pakistan's significant role, and secondly, exploring the implications of the Sino-US rivalry on Pakistan across all dimensions.
