Kindly also start working for developing pakistan's own social networking sites and firewalls, China is able to develop their own social networking sites/apps and many Chinese actually like them, Like how Russia has Vkontakte，South Korea has KakaoTalk，Vietnam has Zalo etc to get rid of Western propaganda against the country.
