This article first reviews the three phases of the policy of China and India-Pakistan relations history clues. The first part (of the 20th century 50's) neutrality, while China developed friendly relations with India and Pakistan; China hoped that India and Pakistan could keep friendship; China kept a neutral and impartial position in India-Pakistan conflict, suggested that both sides peaceful, negotiated settlement on the Kashmir issue. Part II (1962 to the end of Cold War) involvement, relations at the national level, China worsen the relations with India, bettered the relations with Pakistan; in the India-Pakistan relations, China supported for Pakistan against India in the India-Pakistan conflict or war, fully standing the side of Pakistan; in Kashmir, China supported the request of Pakistan. The third part, after the Cold War China go back to the 20th century 50's policy of neutrality, and positively promote peace at India-Pakistan relations on the basis of neutrality. At this stage, China actively develop balance relations with India and Pakistan; hope that the India and Pakistan could have friendship relations; keep neutral policy in the India-Pakistan dispute, and use its influence to promote peace among India and Pakistan positively. The author believes that China's policy on India and Pakistan is reflected in the significant impact history incidents. Therefore, in this article several significant impact historical events, which happened at every stage of the India-Pakistan relations, was picked to test that the author outlined China's policy objectives.The thesis is divided into six chapters. The first chapter introduces the three major causes of the conflict between India and Pakistan, respectively, partition between India and Pakistan, Kashmir issue and India's great power complex. The second chapter introduces the 20th century 50's China's South Asia policy. During this period, China pursued the policy of neutrality and friendship with India and Pakistan at the same time. The third chapter discusses the adjustment of China's South Asia policy. The Tibetan rebellion in 1959 is a turning point in China's South Asia policy, and China completely transformed the neutral policy after Sino-Indian border war in 1962, began to intervene in disputes of India and Pakistan, and to support Pakistan against India. The fourth chapter, the two India-Pakistan wars in 1965 and 1971, for example, were picked to demonstrate the implementation of the intervention policies of China. In both India-Pakistan wars, China fully stood by the side of Pakistan against India, and through the provision of economic and military aid to Pakistan to maintain the balance between India and Pakistan. Chapter V discusses that with the development of the international situation and China's national development strategy change, China re-implemented the policy of neutrality between India and Pakistan, balanced develop the relationship with India and Pakistan, and actively to promote peace between India and Pakistan.On the basis of concluded past historical experience of Chinese policy to India-Pakistan, the author put forward some simple proposals for China's future policy on India-Pakistan at the last part of the article, that the implementation of neutral and promoting peace policy between India and Pakistan most in line with China interests. The specific policies for the Chinese are to ensure that the traditional friendship with Pakistan, and simultaneous development of friendly relations with India, and keep neutral and actively promoting stance in the India-Pakistan dispute, and strive to avoid getting involved in the dispute between India and Pakistan, while actively promote South Asia peace and stability in the subcontinent.
