Shahbaz need to resign. No need to sign any contracts.

You must be kidding.... Why do we need to sign a contract with China to train doctors and paramedics.... the trainees will be spending 1 year to learn Chinese. Do we know if Shabaz or any of his family member is trying to run to china and this is just a smoke screen?

Language is going to be a big barrier in training Pakistani medics and paramedics in China. Moreover, China does not have an established system for training. Finally, why not improve existing training system in Pakistan rather than relying on other countries.

While the young doctors in Punjab are fed up of the treatment they have been given by PMLN government, he goes and signs an agreement with China (of all the countries in the world) to train doctors and paramedics?. What language will they be trained in?. My guess is that they will first learn the language and then get trained?. Did he need to go to China to sign this?. While Punjab is burning, he is signing meaningless agreements. Why do these people think that Pakistanis are so stupid that all of them can be fooled all the time?.

Pakistani Doctors are trained well and have a global reputation. all they need is to be paid well so that they may stay put in Pakistan rather than go to other Countries where they are welcomed. Again The system needs to be changed where Medical facilities are freely available to one and all.

@Ahmed China is a country without strict anti-bribery laws and hence the reliance by Sharifs for all economic help.

THIS IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!! T
here is no mandate in the constitution for a Chief Minister to be signing international accords, Foreign affairs is the mandate of the Central Government.
