@JUSTICE This reliability is only because of China that it has to help Pakistan stay stable and stronger as its China's need. Otherwise Pakistan and its acts has nothing to do with China. It all one sided from China. Hope Pakistan will learn this.

Pakistan's foreign policy should be based on the principle of, "Friendship towards all, Malice towards none".

China's recently announced investments really are a game changer. With improved electricity, motorways up the whole country, transit projects, and improvements in railways, Pakistan surprisingly will have the most advanced infrastructure in all of South Asia.

@JUSTICE But the Pakistan defense delegation went to US, instead of China. May be lost its way.

@Zak :: I know for a fact that in the 67 years of Pakistan history, a vast majority of Pakistani Generals have studied in US, Canadian or UK military schools at some point in their career. That includes the present Pak General Raheel. Are you telling us that now these countries will be sending their soldiers and general to study in Pakistani military academies like the one near the famous city of Abbottabad because of Zarb e Azb? That would be quite a huge money making proposition for the Pak Army.
