Indians should first take care of those shanty towns in your major cities like Mumbai before help those living in the remote underdeveloped regions, talking is cheap, what China ia famous for is to fast get something done, not big talk.

Indians should first take care of those shanty towns in your major cities like Mumbai before help those living in the remote underdeveloped regions, talking is cheap, what China ia famous for is to fast get something done, not big talk.

Indians are little guys making big noises.

That's the summary of their miserable development.

Even though they received decent infra from their British sahibs and in fact had a larger GDP in 1990 than China, they failed big time and their social ills are only further reinforced, not reformed.

Indians should be encouraged to believe that they are great as they are at this stage and the "world's largest democracy" hash tag is their trade mark -- and enough to keep them great as they are already great.

Progress is the enemy of India.

Yes that's the way to do it - open up the region and develop its economy to cut down on religious extremism. Also heard on ChannelNewsAsia this morning, an analyst in HK was saying China is selling down US treasury so that it can use the money (instead of local govt issuing more debts) to develop western China. Pls, pls, pls just include the water diversion project - that's my wish!

As far as I know, water diversion project is ongoing, but, aims at Eastern China. I am not sure Xinjiang Province are included in the plans (or they need one).

@AndrewJin should have much info on this.

Federal Minister for Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony Noorul Haq Qadri met Chinese Ambassador to Pakistan Yao Xing on Wednesday to discuss bilateral relations and matters of mutual interest, chief among them the treatment of the Xinjiang Muslim community.

"Pakistan's friendship with China is above and beyond any political agenda, the roots of which lie deep within the people," said Qadri.

The federal minister remarked that the CPEC was a matter of national priority and expressed full confidence in it.

Moving onto more urgent matters, Qadri spoke about the Muslims facing numerous restrictions in China's Xinjiang province and demanded that they be given relaxations.

"The placement of restrictions increases the chances of an extremist viewpoint growing in reaction," the minister told the Chinese ambassador, asserting that concrete steps need to be taken to weed out such a mindset and promulgate interfaith harmony.

The two also discussed talks between religious scholars belonging to Xinjiang and Pakistan.

"The Chinese government is the bearer of Sufi and moderate thought and resolves to sort the differences between various religious groups," said the Chinese ambassador.

He invited Qadri for a visit to China which the federal minister accepted.

The Chinese ambassador also provided assurances to facilitate the visit of a Pakistani religious delegation to the Xinjiang province.

"Exchange of viewpoints between religious scholars of both countries is vital for better interfaith relations," Xing remarked.

He said that there were 20 million Muslims living in China who enjoyed complete freedom to practice their faith.

"Pakistan is an important representative of the Muslim world and we want to further strengthen Pak-China relations on an Islamic level," Xing said adding that they will take the Muslim community living in China into confidence for achieving the same.

He expressed China's interest in working with Pakistan to develop an educational curriculum for the Muslim community.

"With Pakistan's cooperation, China desires to work for the social development of the former Fata region and Afghan migrants," he added.

I am proud of the humanity shown by the PTI government. First the fought for Atif Mian, yesterday they looked out for refugees and today asked China about Uyghur Muslims.

As an ally and friend of China it is our duty to stand by China and support them wherever we can. Western nations are trying thier best to drive a wedge between China and Muslim nations by suggesting China is abusing its Muslim citizens.

The Pakistani government has taken a wise step in asking about this and by offering support to resolve any religious problems.

Note how the focus was on religious matters, not political matters. Pakistan has never supported separatist movements in China and has always supported China in its fight against Uyghur origin terrorists.

By openly discussing an internal matter with a Muslim ally China's security measures can be given greater credibility and not be maligned by the west as anti Islam.

OMG, PTI have already started on the Hindjew agenda full speed ahead.

What can Pakistan do to China even if it wanted to? Nothing do with Islam but everything to do with preserving Pakistan's interests, which is primarily CPEC. China can do what it wants to its Muslim citizens, Pakistan will look the other way.

That's not true. The Pakistani and Chinese relationship is a 2 way street. Of course China is a superpower and more often the benefactor in the relationship, but that doesn't mean Pakistan is limited.

We are time tested allies, we seek what is best for our ally. Do you think these sorts of conversations would be public if there was harm to our relationship, or a lack of benefit for both sides?

 

[Valar.]

Very wrong move by us.

How others rule their countries is none of our business. How we rule our country is none of any outsiders' business.

Our country, our rules. Their country, their rules.

Do not trust anything written by Dawn. This news agency has already taken over by Washington Post. They re working for ameeicam. They work for the benefit of Americans and not Pakistanis or Chinese.
