So-called democracy in the developing world is easily manipulated. There is no such thing as a secret vote, especially in rural and closed communities where everybody is under social pressure to vote along ethnicity, religion, whatever.
Do you seriously think that all the political talent in...
Just enjoy the Indian posts in this thread. They are desperately trying to turn this into an anti-China thread -- as if China forced these rulers to be corrupt.
If a traffic jam happens in Mumbai, it's Pakistan's fault.
If a corrupt third worlder steals from his people, it's China's fault.
Everything that this administration does is ultimately a reflection on Bajwa and the establishment. Bajwa is our Ashraf Ghani. He will be on the first place to Belgium when this banana republic government falls.
CCP has done an EXCELLENT job raising people's living standards and raising China to becoming a global power. This despite a persistent and coordinated Western tantrum to keep China down. The credit also goes to the Chinese people and Chinese culture to remain focused and goal oriented.

A donkey is a wonderful animal. It works hard, is loyal, and demands very little in return.
A donkey is much better than some 'humans' who steal food from our poor starving children then use that money to buy jewellery and expensive houses.
I have the utmost CONTEMPT for her and it has nothing to do with the army.
She made her fortune as a lawyer defending the corrupt elite and then made a big show of being a humanitarian,
It's like a member of a bank robber gang who throws a couple of nickels at beggars to show off his charity...
Next step is to arrest an overseas Pakistani critcizing the neutrals on social media.
Hard to pull it off on an overseas Pakistani living in a Western democracy but probably doable in a 'friendly' non-Western country, maybe GCC.
Making Martian rocket biofuel on Mars
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/10/211027122016.htm
The bioproduction process would use three resources native to the red planet: carbon dioxide, sunlight, and frozen water. It would also include transporting two microbes to Mars. The first...
To be fair, China and the Chinese members are also under constant attack on this forum.
I have a soft spot for China because it has steadfastly helped Pakistan a lot over the years: militarily, economically, diplomatically, etc. I also admire their work ethic, determination and how far they...
There is truth to what you say.
The US will not give away its goodies without demanding something concrete in return. In Pakistan, we are used to it and call it 'do more'. We will need to see how India handles this American 'do more' trap.
Well, there's always a hierarchy of identification: self, immediate family, extended family, nation, religion, humanity. Where should ethnicity fit in this hierarchy? Should it? Should religion?
I was talking more of global recognition. I am sure there are lots of regional celebrities in...
Your question is unfair out of context. There is not a shadow of doubt in my mind that the OP meant it as a taunt so I laid out his insinuation in the open and asked him to put up or shut up.
On the broader question, I try to avoid parochial reactions -- with a few exceptions. For example, I...
I don't think such military exercises would have made a difference anyway because China knows that
a. The US will never sacrifice a single American soldier to help India.
b. If war broke out with India, the US can move major assets to SCS or Taiwan/Japan quickly enough anyway.
Personally, I only care about science and technology.: the research papers cited by others, the technological inventions, etc.
Arts oriented fields are also important to nurture but our greatest need in the 21st century is to join the rest of the world in science and technology.
By that...
