PID ‘declares’ China an Islamic Republic

[Angry Bird]

ISLAMABAD: While issuing a routine media statement, the Press and Information Department (PID) may have inadvertently declared China an Islamic Republic.

Buried within the 1,500 words of Press Release No. 151 is the paragraph, “The Cabinet gave Approval for Signing of Protocol for the Period from Nov 2004 to Nov 2012 and Approval for Revision of Protocol between the Government of Islamic Republic of China for Scientific and Technical Cooperation in Surveying and Mapping.”

The faux pas is not exactly a rare occurrence. A series of similar blunders has plagued the Prime Minister’s (PM) media office over the past week, suggesting that the federal government’s mouthpiece has trouble getting its facts straight.

On April 14, a statement on Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s meeting with visiting South Korean premier said that PM Chung Hongwon was accompanied by “Mr Han Jinhyun, Vice Minister for Trade and Energy from the Chinese side”. Only three days later a statement

regarding a Cabinet Committee on National Security (CCNS) meeting renamed it the National Security Committee. CCNS was created last August, and a National Security Committee has yet to be constituted.

However, as the official source on all things ‘government’, it may be premature to call this a mistake. Perhaps the note in Press Release No. 151 is intentional, and the PID knows something no one else does.

We are a majority Atheist country.

With a sizeable chunk of Chinese Buddhists, Taoists, Confucians, and followers of Chinese folk religion.

We also have a very small percentage who follow Abrahamic faiths, such as Christianity, Islam and Judaism.

The vast majority of Chinese are Atheists (non-religious) though.

LOL @ Islamic Republic of China. Suddenly the 21st century superpower sounded like it was thrown back into the stone age.

Not really.

It did not say "People's Republic of India"...Then, it would have sounded like China has become a 7000 BC shithole where 52% of population don't even have toilets, girls are raped on regular basis, there are more poverty than entire Africa, and so on.

Anyways, its just a typo. indian needs to calm their tiny balls.
