Do you even know what the Chinese model is? Are you prepared to love with athiest one party Marxist inspired rule? And when you say Asian what the hell you mean? Turks? Iranians? Cambodians? Japanese? Pray but tell me what is the common denomintor in "Asia" other than they belong to the species Homo Sapiens?
And I am all for the Chinese model. Love to see Pakistan being "rebooted" like China. Would place Pakistan on the path to progress. For a start the pesky mullahs would be given a lesson or two on Marxism.
Great post Cybernetics. As China rises is it possible that Pakistan could tie itself to China as a "pillar nation". What changes do you think Pakistan needs to make and or do you expect China to impress on Pakistan for it profit from being a subsidiary nation much like Japan/South Korea/Turkey are of USA?
Thanks Kaptaan. I do think China can become a pillar nation for Pakistan in the future but I hope it won't be premature as China has not completed building the supernational institutions. The world is in flux, we must not solidify the world order so quickly. In China the hawks are in power and they desire a special long term relationship with Pakistan (but pretend to be nonchalant), so many long term interests are tying together. For no other country does China have such a comprehensive strategy on development.
The healthy progression for Pakistan is self actualised development with some outside assistance and catalyst. I think it is wrong for an outsider to be the all encompassing director of a nation because it eliminates the fruits of micro interactions of a nation, which is bad for development. China can become a catalyst and the compounds are entirely Pakistani, China will
realign national focus. The
most important thing is to progress with CPEC, institutions will form around solving the realities that arise from the project and facilitating that development is important. Vital areas where both countries needs to work hard on are: Education, developmentally focused mentality (inspiration is important), and willingness to explore. This can be facilitated through physical movement of people, through migrant workers into a new environment (ie Gwadar).
What was Chinese economic model they induced and suppressed their economy. What happened was Chinese were forced to work and develop their inner economy and devise methods to live with out foreign technology and develop their own solution. The Chinese economic model can work in every society.
Just a simple question and you will understand what I mean.
Do you remember the image below.
Now tell me If this man would have been successful in changing China would China have been successful? This is the very moment when a killer had a plan and he killed this revolution but gave china a status that China enjoys today. Some time medicine is bitter but you have to force feed it for the benefit. Change is not always good.
This man left the scene with a group of people urging him to leave and in the video the tank was trying to avoid him. I have said that "though sometimes its unavoidable" regarding deaths and have stated not all change is good, revolution can be damaging. The instigator of the violence was some protesters when they lynched a soldier, the authorities tried to be restraint but that was going too far. The core interests of a nation surpasses individuals, but it is important to not see every problem as a nail and your only tool is a hammer. This is only an underlying logic, every Chinese leader understood this but its tool box was severely limited. Nowadays, they implement much more soft and precise measures.
Do you think Pakistan could become part of a Chinese supernational institutions and what changes [internal] would it have to make so that it could fit within the Chinese order?
Yes, a big one is trade. Pakistan is an integral part of the future trade plan and might be home to a future currency trade hub. This will tie in some aspects of military industry. Too many aspects to talk about but the earlier Pakistan negotiates with China the bigger share it has as this is not a solidified organisation (some not even existing on paper, the foundations are being built), in the future the pie will be split more amongst other members. Negotiation is not just about talking, it is helping the process of forming these institutions. Founding members always gets a premium for the risk and effort they took.
There must be better awareness among people about long term national goals and plans. In China people are encouraged (if they are civil servants they must study it) to read national agendas because it includes a broad range of interest groups. Students even write some essays about it for class work. It makes everyone feel their small personal goals are working towards a bigger national goal, often indirectly. This builds self worth and a clear vision.
