Actually the one murdered was an RTI activist.
About a dozen RTI activists have been killed in the recent past.
...but then, isn't that the essence of what so many Indians are out there protesting about?
Ha! fizzzzzzz.....would like to tell us something else, I guess.
Yeah right!
Quoting the Pakistani govt. spokesperson.
The same govt. which bundled $25bn (or 30 or 35, whatever!) worth of MoU's as 'deals' and 'investment' to fool its own public.
I can give you a lot of independent agency data regarding Chinese activities in Africa but that is not what...
Pakistan calls for a lot of things. What does China do?
Pakistani president even called upon China to do something about the burgeoning trade deficit. What did China do?
but then...why spend cash when words can do the job? ;)
Look my dear.
Don't me words "We have done this, we have done that"
Give me facts and data.
How much money has China given to Pakistan or invested in Pakistan intended for the benefit of Pakistanis PRIMARILY?
Your track record has nothing to show.
If you have something to show, bring it...
Yes yes!
Of course.
Keep them coming, excuses...
Amazing!
They come in all hues and color, Chinese excuses.
What is not coming, however, is the data.
Now don't bother replying unless you have some real hard data in hand to prove your point. :wave:

Economics 102:
Any resource spent to ensure future inflow of further resources is also a type investment.
You gave $ 1tn to US to ensure that the US consumers keep living life in 'credit' and keep buying the Chinese goods.
Economics 101...
Here's your assignment:
LEARN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 'MoU' AND 'DEAL'
Whatever sham you did in Pakistan last year, were MoU's.
Oh and BTW, are you sure those MoU's were worth $25 bn??
Some Pakistani media reported $35 bn
...some said $30 bn
...some said $40 bn
Nobody...
...and I believe we should take your word for it?
Where is Pakistan as compared to Chinese aid/trade concessions etc. given to a future resource such as Africa?
and do not tell me about Gwadar. We're not talking of Chinese projects in Pakistan which benefit the Chinese.
We are talking of...
Rights do not come without responsibilities.
The citizens have the right to wear burqas.
The police have the responsibility to prevent security threats from materializing.
See!
That's what I was talking about.
Look, maa! The dollars are pouring...
...and the Pakistanis sing and dance in gay mirth.
Here come our Chinese 'brothers', our saviours, our messiahs...
ya ya ya yippie ya yay, yippie ya yo yippie ya yay...
Why do I need to find internet warriors to prove my point, CD? :lol:
I do not post here for 'thanks' unlike some other few.
My point is the writing on the wall evident by Chinese govt.'s actions.
You are the one trying hard here. :P
I'm merely making some realpolitik observations.
My...
Flamebaiting much? When did I ever talk about India's importance to China?
We are discussing Pakistan's limited importance to China. You'd do better to take English comprehension lessons. ;)
The port is built. It is an infrastructure already in place.
It will stay in place even if the...
Exactly!
You corroborate my point.
Africa is an investment, hence China will give it trade and aid etc.
Pakistan is an expenditure to be incurred in order to counter India and gain access to Central Asia and that's it. In fact, Pakistan is an expenditure which can be incurred by even empty...
You're a nobody.
All you can do is post some sympathetic comments for the Pakistanis just like China offers them empty rhetoric and they all bask in its glory.
Chinese actions speak louder than their words.
You do not make Chinese policy and those who do, do not seem to care about Pakistan.
Yes you can, and you regularly do. Take Africa, for example.
Point is, Africa is resource rich a future colony, possibly. Pakistan is not.
Pakistan is expendable for China and is useful only in the strategic context of India and gaining access to resource rich Central Asia.
Apart from...
Because China knows that a collapsed US economy will have extremely adverse effects for the export oriented Chinese economy.
There's not such compulsion associated with a potential collapse of Pakistani economy.
In fact, as I mentioned in some other thread, a collapsed Pakistani economy...
