Is the part where you were purely agricultural the reason why you leases farm land to Saudi at the fraction of the price.
lets Talk simple economics here.
China produces well beyond its demands. So it exports a lot.
Pakistan does not produce all its demands. so it imports.
Pakistani companies or business. will just have to either work for or with Chinese companies in order to stay in business.
sooner or latter Chinese investment will lead to To China owning large chunks of Pakistan. Just as it did in America.
They may be your only friends but you being an equal in any relationship is far from the truth.
Pakistan being a regional power implies that, what Pakistan does in its day to day. has implications around the rest of the region or continent.
this is not the case.
China is the superpower, and your just the country right next door.
Oh yes, the grand plan.
You just want to see everyone in the west suffer dont you.
you can tout the might of your ancestors.
But their time has come and gone.
you dont see the Greeks forever reminiscing Alexanders empire.
Nor the Italians reminiscing the Roman empire, the worlds first ever hyper power.
I am going to be brutally blunt here, do you really belie that Pakistan calls the shots with anybody or anywhere anymore. more often then naught you are doing what the rest of the world asks you to do.
And as far as your relations with the Chinese go.
Two countries cant be BFF. every relation has strains, its not perfect.
No body seems to even want to discuss the problems with Pak-China relations. Its almost as if you believe there is nothing bad to come of it, or no Negative aspects exist.
Even the EU nations have more differences of opinion then this.
Either both nations are extremely good at pretending everything is A OK.
which would support the argument that your more friends of consequence.
Or for some reason you have absolutely no arguments. Whilst being an equal member.
But if your role in the relationship is not equal. Which would mean you are dependent on the other party in some say. Then yes a relationship with very little public friction can exist
