Pakistani military is world's sixth largest and China has been Pakistan's biggest arms supplier for many years now.
The US military and the intelligence community have mapped out the majority of air strips and storage locations for their jets. If there were ever a conflict America can shoot off cruise missles, use stealth fighters to bomb these targets with ease.
They also have the resources to disrupt the paki's entire war fighting capabilities, including its jets, by disrupting its network. With the navy they can block off all resources being sent in their country (like energy and metals),and bomb energy and communication assets with relative ease. Basically making their units useless.
All of what china gives pakistan is a gesture of good will for future economic gain.
This won't end well, especially once Pakistan decides they don't need US money.
China is just milking Pakistan to get access to the "warm waters" of Arabian Sea as it wants to use Pakistan as a cheap trade route.
Because China wants to avoid sea route via Indian Ocean (on which India has monopoly) as well as South China Sea where China has border disputes with several countries.

Pakistans Army and Jehadi groups have a nexus and they have the strategy of bleeding India through thousand cuts.
