Pakistan's geopolitical position is super complicated. They've been close with China because of a mutual distrust of India for quite some time. If the West turns its back on Pakistan, China will certainly step right up. Some of the Taliban-appeasement under Trump and Biden likely has Pakistan and a wariness of China's influence there as a motivating factor.
