China can support Pakistan all it wants, but it really won't benefit China. Pakistan really doesn't have much to offer China which it can't get elsewhere.
India has every right to support anyone that they want. Just because the CCP doesn't like the Dalai Lama doesn't mean we have to. The Tibet-China conflict isn't our problem so we don't need to pick sides.

Well, what do you guys think of the China-Pakistan friendship? How long will it keep lasting? Would it die down if India for instance kicked out the Dalai Lama and did not give any sort of support (spiritual, moral, etc) to Tibet or its people?
Can we really call it a "friendship" between China and Pakistan when maybe China is only cozying up with Pakistan to spite India?
1. China supports Pakistan, but at least China keeps neutral in Kashmir problem.
2. China needs to keep good relationship with Pakistan, China don't want she to become an islam fundamentalist state. Don't forget China has Xinjaing (so-called East Turkistan) problem.
3. USA and Japan (maybe India) want to control Malacca strait, it means that they want to block the petroleum import to China. So, China need to prepare alternative measure to keep normal petroleum import .
Now, China, India and Pakistan all are nuclear states. Each can be balanced by other.
USA is a evil state (common sense for all Chinese), IT supports the independence of Taiwan (with Fxxkable Japan), and riots in Xinjaing (with Fxxkable Turkey) and Tibet (with Indian Nationalists).
