We can boycott China, but at what cost?

[Gadkari]

1) Now go look at the volume of both those things. *hint* if the medical visa process consisted of having to ask some random person on twitter for approval then its likely miniscule.
2) No a simple google search proves that you havent for more than a decade.
3) Wow if all it takes is to simply be a member, then Pakistan is responsible for putting Iceland, Panama, and Ghana on the exact same list then. Such a shame though, for people who boast of thinking themeselves so powerful you couldnt even manage to beg america to put poor "bankrupt pakistan" on the blacklist.
4) Considering you people spend around 5 times what Pakistan spends on defence, I fail to see any achievements or successes. If anything 5-10k losses, mass incompetence in the last skirmish, and much higher rates of suicide, raise the question of what exactly have Indians actually done to Pakistan other than endlessly brag about their nonexistent relevance online.

Indians are fine with things and products becoming a bit pricey but no way there will be positive sentiments for China, Chinese people and products. If China wants to open one more front we are game and business will be the first casualty.

India makes up 4% of medicine imports. WOW, we import more from the UK and South Africa than you lol. Its also funny how you now shifted the goalposts from medical visas to drugs imports, make up your mind.

2.
Okay please tell me who was the ambassador to Pakistan for the last year?

3.
"We regard the statement issued by India regarding the FATF report as preposterous and unwarranted," - Yes they would comment on all aspects of the report, its literally their job. Now how exactly does that mean India was responsible for anything?

You should know better than to reference a newspaper with "indiatimes" in its title, it will inevitebly be a low-quality propaganda piece.

4.
This is an opinion piece from a man who claimed to have fought off 10 ISI agents single handedly. Now I know you are incredibly desperate to prove anything but that is scraping the barrel.

1.
So let me get this straight, your entire argument that Pakistan is dependent on Indian medical visas and was "cut off" by India is based on a total of 1600 visas 5 years ago, and 5 people being sent back??

Do I even need to say anything

2.
Since you can't answer my very simple question its clear your argument has failed.

3.
FATF rulings are entirely based on the US, just because India shoehorned its worthless opinions into the report doesnt mean that anybody cares nor that it influenced the final judgements of anybody. If India truly did have whatever power you have deluded yourself into thinking it does then Pakistan wouldn't merely be on a pointless greylist alongside a dozen other countries but on the actual blacklist. In fact that says more that Pakistan's judgement is entirely based on its outdated banking system than the "terrorism" argument which india tried to propagate.

4.
Yes and what is the relevance here? Yes well done Pakistan is a poor developing country that has spent the last two decades fighting a deadly war on terror and trying to remain afloat among rising foreign debt. Still Pakistan has yet to face recession, bankruptcy, and is one of the few countries to have succesfully defeated a major insurgency.

India meanwhile is 7 times the size of Pakistan didn't have to face the same problems and yet still remains the global hub of extreme poverty, rape, and unhappiness. What a sad state of affairs indeed.

With over 1.3 Billion people, creating demand is easy and if there is political will, even supply chain can be built and if we do that Indian economy will grown beyond 10% per anum.

simple question for everyone: if creating demand is so easy, then why doesn't every third world country just demand more luxury cars, yachts, gold plated toilets and iPhones to become global superpowers?

answer: because creating demand means you have to have money first. how do you get money?

There are only 2 ways to get more money:

1. Internal growth: through being able to supply luxury cars, yachts, gold plated toilets, etc. and the government prints money to pay for it. But to supply luxury cars, yachts, gold plated toilets, etc. you need the capital products - CNC, mold production, tooling, etc. And rarely can one country supply both.

2. External growth: through selling other things on global markets, then using the money to buy other products. But to sell things on global markets others must want them. So far I can't think of any product category where Indian exports are competitive other than generic pharma, textiles and raw materials.

So no, it isn't easy to create demand.It's hard to create demand, hence why only a few countries can do it. Even Germany, South Korea, etc. are highly export dependent economies. India is not, only because its exports are low, not because its internal market is robust.

If a country is run by politicians then according to you it is dysfunctional !!! STRANGE

Not individuals but system run the country. Yours had a software update of Hindutva few years ago, and its is becoming dysfunctional with each passing day.

Pakistan is run by a handsome playboy how can a chaiwala ever be compared with such a dashing personality.

True.

LOL. We are an open society and we hide nothing.
