I'd rather have them than Saudi Arabia and Israel. But if you think Pakistan is closer to the US, than you need to learn your history. No nation is closer to China than Pakistan. PIA trained chinese airlines and Pakistan voluntarily gave part of the disputed territory to China. Have US and Pakistan ever done something like CPEC. US/Pakistan is just a partnership of convenience, betrayal, back stabbing, trickery, intelligence and reluctance. Pakistan will always choose China over US.

Not when it comes to their jet fighters.

Pakistan doesn't have their eggs in one basket when it comes to China and US, but I'd still say they are closer to China. And that largely comes down to our support of India. If an India and Pakistan conflict were to arise we would most certainly back India over them, and Pakistan knows this, hence they have made an attempt to not rely on America as much as they did in the past.

They aren't choosing China because they align with them more per se, but moreso choosing them because they have no choice.
