China’s advice to Pakistan: peaceful development

BEIJING: China is already the world’s second largest economy, after the United States, and some say it has set a target of surpassing the combined economies of the US, EU and Japan by the time the nation celebrates its diamond jubilee in 2049. By the time that landmark date comes around, China also aims to become the world’s leading technological power and the main force in global innovation and scientific development. There have been challenges along the way, and the global recession in particular took a toll on China’s export-oriented growth model, a model that had achieved a stunning growth rate of 9% for the Chinese economy. The recession slowed this rate down, but China responded by trying to boost domestic demand and upgrading the quality of its products. Thus, when China speaks, the world listens. And at a lunch hosted by China’s vice minister Ai Ping for a 14-member delegation of journalists, writers and parliamentarians round the world, there were many opportunities to both listen and speak. Even as its international clout grows, China has been careful to avoid the kind of entanglements that have characterised superpower policy. Of course, that’s a term that the Chinese leadership chooses not to use, as one questioner discovered. “The word ‘Super power’ gives an impression of hegemony,” said Ai Ping, interrupting the questioner before he could finish. The lunch was followed by a meeting with Chinese Vice President Li Yu ...

According to statistics, 13 attacks have been carried in the PAKISTAN reported in 2013 so far while 14 strikes were conducted in 2012.

However, only few have strong argument that the CIA’s drone operation can be helpful to eliminate the militants. Sheeren Mazari, former journalist and a member of the PAKISTAN lower house, said that the f ...
