The Chinese should have learned from the US support of the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan. "The enemy of your enemy may someday turn out to be your enemy". Russia has an excuse with regards to Iran, since Russia is turning Muslim by immigration and by birth/death ratios. China has no such excuse.

Actually the Chinese experience with Pakistan & other Islamic regimes has been fare better than those of the West(US/EU/USSR-Russia).The Sino Pak relationship is almost 50 years old & while Pakistan has kept India at bay for China,it has also helped it deal with the Ughur (Slammie) insurgency in Xingjiang province in addition to creating corridors for China with Saudi Arabia & Iran.
