We don't want aid. We want trade.

our national disaster mgmt agency post-2005 is actually extremely impressive.....well stocked, somewhat well mobile

the gesture by PRC is well appreciated however

Long live China-Pakistan friendship. Financial aid is not only limited to such direct cash donation, but also applies to big projects and other investment contracts. Just different approaches.

Pakistan flood: Where are Islamabad's Muslim friends and China when it needs them?


The US has increased aid to Pakistan for the flood disaster. Saudi Arabia has, too. But other Muslim countries and big-ally China lag.

By the Monitor's Editorial Board / August 19, 2010


The UN says it needs $459 million in immediate assistance for Pakistan. Today, the US upped its contribution to $150 million, from previously committed aid of about $76 million. America is the largest global donor by far, partly for strategic reasons.

As Democratic Sen. John Kerry said, the US does not want failure to multiply and strengthen jihadists and terrorists who could take advantage of the chaos, destruction, and suffering affecting some 20 million Pakistanis.

Critics in the West and also in Pakistan have wondered why response from Muslim friends and neighboring China has been slow and low. Saudi Arabia, one of Pakistan’s closest Muslim allies, reacted by considerably increasing aid to $80 million from about $20 million.

That should serve as a catalyst for other Muslim nations in the Gulf region, many of which have the wealth to contribute. Kuwait, for instance, has offered only $5 million, same for Oman. Iran is in for $800,000, Qatar for $400,000, and the United Arab Emirates? Officially nothing.

Some Pakistanis, meanwhile, question why a relationship with China that is supposedly “as high as the Himalayas” has produced an offer of only $9 million – not even a foothill.

Long live China-Pakistan friendship. Financial aid is not only limited to such direct cash donation, but also applies to big projects and other investment contracts. Just different approaches.

Donation should be about genuine and symbolism. It is not about a dick measuring stick like how America does it. It's wrong and utterly pathetic to compare the aid amount as if it's a game of seeing who has a bigger heart.

Wonder what symbolism tastes like when children are starving.

Don't even attempt to use that typical Western moral high-horse to pressure other country into giving more aid. I repeat, every country have the right to give any aid amount they want and shall not be pressure into giving more for dick measuring stick competition.

As I have said, we will provide more when necessary. Don't worry, my friend.

China needs to give Pakistan access to its market, and give Pakistani goods preference over Japanese and Korean.

Your right, the world does not expect much from China.

ISLAMABAD, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) -- The Red Cross Society of China (RCSC) on Monday donated 100,000 U.S. dollars to Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS) for Pakistan's earthquake victims.

China has offered relief assistance including 1.5 million U.S. dollars and supplies worth 30 million yuan (4.88 million U.S. dollars). All the supplies have already reached Pakistani southern city of Karachi and will be delivered to the victims, the ambassador said.

"I am convinced that under the leadership of the Pakistani government, the Pakistani people can unite to overcome difficulties and rebuild their homes," the ambassador said, adding that China will continue to offer all necessary assistance to Pakistan.

Chairman of the PRCS Nawaz Khan thanked China for its generous support and hoped that the donation would help alleviate the victims' suffering.

"The help reflects that the whole Chinese nation stands with the Pakistani brethren in this critical time and this would help the PRCS to better serve the affectees," he added.

At least 371 people were killed and over 750 others injured in two earthquakes that hit Pakistan's southwest Balochistan province on Sept. 24 and 28.

2.PRC 274 million USD
3.USA 150 million USD (but they owe Pakistan a lot for those terrorist mess and drone)

PRC will make more effort to become number one the next time.

 

[krash]

Who in Pakistan has the salary out of which he can donate?

Well one would be those who go to Europe and North America and then pay as much as 3 times the tuition fee for a local there.....While the locals still skip school because they can't afford it?

For example, Germany alone provided almost a million for flood relief to the ungrateful Pakistanis.

Ungrateful? Do you really want to go there? But then everyone advises against arguing with a moron.
