Nice. Never though Pakistan would be an unholy alliance with India considering China got a long relationship tie with Pakistan. The GLA helped India and Pakistan getting closer to each other by their terrorism against everyone.
The GAPA is the thing that interested me most. Since I'm a Vietnamese I know some thing about the foreign politic. If we can't get Russia to our side we will play with USA to deal with China, but since USA and Russia is gone to their own concern as well playing with China would be the final outcome despite our long history of hatred with them. Losing USA influence in the Pacific leave the whole Indochina zone with China only.
The GLA widespread chaos to Pakistan and India through tribal wars and internal disputes that plagued the fragile local social order, the military was not able to count the terror tied to disorder, so the state virtually collapsed; behind the scenes it is implied that other actors started to act in both countries in order to reduce the influence of the GLA in the region - Russia and China - was not interesting for any of these superpowers the destabilizing force of the terrorists in south Asia.
For Russia, it was important to preserve a neighbor like India economically/militarily strong as a form of restraint of China that was a local imperialist power, but China was subversive and came to infiltrate among pro-GLA militias in the region - which was later discovered to be a strategy of Gen Jin in order to demobilize them - however the consequence at medium-term was the eminent loss of sovereignty of the countries affected by the Chinese influence... (China tends to infiltrate, corrupt and control its opponents as a complex military strategy).
I believe that the USA would not engage in the ROTR context in South Asia because its influence in the region was very small (compared to RL), this was the backyard of its adversaries - Russia and China - a military presence in the region would be more a problem for them than a regional solution.
Just a few complementary analyzes.
