Özet:

 The study examines changes in Chinas stance to the Kashmir issue in light of current Kashmir-related developments. Since the 1980s, Chinas pro-Pakistan Kashmir policy has changed toward a more balanced approach between Pakistan and India, known as neutrality. In the context China has reduced its diplomatic support for Pakistans policy of internationalizing the issue, while on the other hand it has blocked efforts to link Islamabad to terrorism in the UN Security Council, and other international organizations. Herein, China shields Islamabad from New Delhis diplomatic pressures on the global platforms, also plays a soothing and war-preventative role in the ongoing Kashmir crises. Conversly, India is opposed to Chinas the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor via Pakistan-controlled Kashmir. In recent years, Beijings Kashmir policy has been impacted by Sino-Indian tensions and New Delhis transformation into an active participant of the Indo-Pacific strategy. The recent worsening of Sino-Indian bilateral ties, particularly with the 2020 Galvan Valley crisis, and Beijings pro-Pakistani views on Kashmir call into question the countrys present foreign policy orientation. Within the framework outlined above, it is fair to conclude that, regional and global elements have been actively included into Chinas Kashmir policy, and signals of change have emerged. This research will attempt to assess how the fundamental dynamics of Chinas Kashmir policy have evolved over the last ten years, as well as the transformation of the approach, which was classified as neutral, and the reasons behind this. The main argument in this article is that Chinas Kashmir policy has been pursuing a shifting neutrality based on balancing India, seeking to protect its national interests without compromising the status quo. Therefore, its impossible to call that Chinas Kashmir policy is completely impartial. Chinas Kashmir policy is determined by bilateral relations with India, as well as regional geopolitical and geostrategic shifts.

 Bu çalışma, son dönemde Keşmirle ilgili gelişmeler çerçevesinde Çinin soruna yaklaşımındaki değişimleri incelemektedir. Çinin Pakistan yanlısı Keşmir politikası, 1980lerden itibaren tarafsızlık olarak nitelenebilecek Pakistan-Hindistan arasında daha dengeli bir yaklaşıma kaymıştır. Çin bir yandan Pakistanın savunduğu sorunu uluslararasılaştırma politikasına diplomatik desteğini azaltırken, diğer yandan da BMGKda İslamabada yönelik terörle ilgili gösterme çabalarını engellemiştir. Çin, Pakistan-Hindistan arasındaki krizlerde de yatıştırıcı, savaşı önleyici bir rol oynamaktadır. Diğer yandan, Hindistan, Çinin 2015te başlattığı Pakistanın kontrol ettiği Keşmirden geçen Çin-Pakistan Ekonomik Koridoruna karşı çıkmaktadır. Ayrıca Pekinin Keşmir politikasını, Çin-Hindistan arasındaki gerilimler, Yeni Delhinin Hint-Pasifik stratejisinin aktif bir üyesine dönüşmesini etkilemeye başladığı görülmektedir. Çinin, son zamanlarda Keşmir konusundaki Pakistan yanlısı açıklamaları mevcut dış politika yaklaşımındaki soru işaretlerini arttırmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Çinin Keşmir politikasının son 10 yıldaki temel dinamiklerinin nasıl şekillendiği ve tarafsız olarak nitelendirilen yaklaşımın dönüşümü analiz edilmeye çalışılacaktır. Bu makaledeki temel argüman Çinin Keşmir politikasının mevcut statükodan taviz vermeden kendi ulusal çıkarlarını koruma, Hindistanı dengeleme temelinde değişken bir tarafsızlığı takip ettiğini savunmaktadır. Bu nedenle Çinin Keşmir politikasının salt bir tarafsızlık üzerine kurulu olduğunu savunmak mümkün değildir. Dolayısıyla Çinin Keşmir politikasının Çin-Hindistan ikili ilişkileri ve bölgesel jeopolitik ve jeo-ekonomik değişimlere göre şekillenmektedir.
