yes, what is important is self reliance as well as diversification, but that is where our bad luck is, we have no politicians, no leaders to have such foresight and lead us to such destination.
Instead of abandoning China, we have the greatest opportunity to avail their experience and develop ourselves, similarly joint collaboration with other countries, we have God given everything, oil, gas, solar energy, wind energy, hard working people, huge population, country with vast resources, location, sea and what not, all is needed, leaders who can propel us forward.
Exactly. China can be a huge help in attaining self-sufficience. This is also in China's interests, since it would create a big market for Chinese goods and, in an increasingly competitive world, China needs good, strong allies. If we don't step up to the job, China may start looking elsewhere for a strong ally.
Pakistan has a huge advantage over India. We are big enough to be a good export customer, but not big enough to be a threat or competitor.
We need a revolution to get rid of these Oligarchs as well as foreign influence.
Given the utter and complete domination of Pakistani politics by the feudal-military alliance for the last 60+ years, and ongoing, I don't see much hope there.
instead of so much of diplo-political posturing, much better to fix the feud between India and Pakistan and remove the need for the zero sum game..
Agree, but there is no sign of honest friendship from either side and, with India's growing clout and, excuse me, arrogance, things are actually getting worse.
We DONT have a "blood feud " with china. There have been minor skirmishes only ,AFTER 1962 ie 1967 and 1987
As Taimikhan has said, future wars will be about resources. The most precious resource will actually be water and China/India have major issues around that.
China and India will have resource contention and, with burgeoning economies and populations, there
will be conflict. Neither country can afford a military conflict, so the only question is, what form will the conflict take?
The ordinary Chinese businessman may see India as a business opportunity, but long term strategists will rightly see it as a competitor. That is why China is friendly to Pakistan, because the ruling elite see and plan long term, instead of for the next quarter. However, as China becomes more democratic, it will become increasingly guided by public opinion and capilatistic demands, which are notoriously short-sighted. Exhibit A: USA.
Agni-5 ICBM Targeted toward China
That's the second time you mentioned the ICBM. So your idea of friendship is to point a gun at someone and say "be my friend or else..."?
What Pakistan's problem is, we are more dependent at our friends in terms of Financial help and support in many other areas.. We mostly rely at them and thus we are kinda burden at them instead of a healthy friend.. So it start to annoy them after some times..
That is
exactly what I am saying. Both the US and China are huge countries who can afford to carry a sick friend for a while but, as the race heats up, no one can afford a sick friend. Everybody wants an ally who can push the cart alongside them, not someone who needs to be carried along on shoulders.
