There is no doubt about the Ironicled Brotherhood and the strategic partnership between Pakistan and China, with a clear statement from Victor Gao on an Indian channel that China will help protect its sovereignty against any country. This statement reinforces my belief that my faith cannot be understood by the tools of traditional international relations. This is a unique relationship that stands in the test of time.
Regardless of the situation, China and Pakistan are constantly standing together. History is fulfilled with the examples in which it is shown that China and Pakistan have shown that they are an Ironicled brothers through their actions. They have always been determined to protect each other’s sovereignty and important interests.
As a big country and brother, China considers Pakistan’s needs and helps Islamabad to ensure its sovereignty, especially economic and defense sovereignty. In addition, China supported Pakistan during the challenging hours. Several examples of bilateral relations can strengthen this argument. Let’s start with security.
Since establishing relations, China and Pakistan have established a strong security and defense partnership. Cooperation in the security and defense field is dynamic and diverse. China’s Communist Party (CPC) has given top priority to security and defense cooperation with Pakistan. The CPC has permanently guided and advised the people’s independence army to cultivate strong partnerships with Pakistan’s armed forces. Under the guidance of high leadership, the two forces have played a significant role in strengthening these relationships, making the spirit of brotherhood, mutual trust and respect. Armed forces on both sides have built a relationship that is able to face any challenge with grace and power.
However, following the principle of self -sufficiency, the PLA and defense machinery’s directive to the Communist Party (CPC) to help Pakistan to modernize their defense capabilities are the most prominent features of this relationship. In this way, from the first day, the spirit of self -sufficiency has guided mutual cooperation.
There are many examples of such cooperation, but heavy mechanical complexes Taxila (HMCT), al -Khalid tank, Pakistan Aeronautical Complex, Pakistan Ordinance factories and numerous maritime projects, which are based with Chinese aid, are the most prominent. These programs and production facilities have significantly helped Pakistan to become self -sufficient in arms production, rather than exporter.
In addition, China is cooperating with Pakistan to enhance the capabilities and capabilities of Pakistan Air Force to achieve self -sufficiency in this sector. The joint venture to produce the JF17 jet is the most prominent example, which is significantly changing the dynamics of Pakistan’s Air Force and the defense industry. JF17 is a modern fighter jet that has improved Pakistan’s ability to protect its airspace. It has reduced Pakistan’s dependence on Western countries, who often try to exploit Pakistan and force it to accept many conditions. Sometimes, they refuse to supply jets after payment (F-16). In addition, JF17 has also emerged as a valuable source of foreign exchange income for Pakistan.
Recently, Pakistan has received orders from different countries. China has also provided Pakistan with modern J-10 fighter jets so that Pakistan Air Force can further strengthen. Now, the two countries are discussing further upgrades in the capabilities of the Pakistan Air Force by increasing cooperation in various fields, including the fifth -generation stealth fighter jet aircraft.
On the economic front, China has permanently stepped in to help Pakistan in its most difficult times, in which the CPEC works as a fine example. The CPEC was launched when Pakistan faced numerous issues, including terrorism, frequent load shedding, declining FDI, increasing debt and reducing economic and economic opportunities. Loadshedding was widely spread, which led to industries closed or shutdown outside Pakistan, resulting in the reduction of jobs for many.
This situation encouraged public protests. In addition, load shedding caused significant financial and economic loss to the country. According to Pakistan’s vision 2025, the nation was losing $ 4-5 billion annually. The effects of homes were even more severe, which directly affect people’s livelihood. It is also important to note that these figures do not accounted for precision costs, many experts recommend increasing mental health problems in Pakistan after the energy crisis.
Pakistan was engaged in the fight against terrorism as a frontline ally of the United States and Western countries. The war significantly affected Pakistan in terms of human life and its economy. It was estimated that by 2013, Pakistan lost 60,000 lives.
The economic cost exceeded $ 100 billion, which was beyond Pakistan’s ability to bear. The war on terror damaged the road infrastructure as Pakistan allowed NATO, the United States and its allies to use the country as a way of supply. Pakistan needs $ 1.2 billion to restore its bad transport infrastructure. Unfortunately, when he exploited the transport infrastructure, he did not participate in his care.
Social issues, such as food insecurity and poverty, make the situation more complicated. It was estimated that about 39 % of Pakistan’s population was living below the poverty line, but independent sources fought it. Pakistan’s population more than 58.8pc was unsafe for food. The main reasons for high poverty and food insecurity were the lack of livelihood opportunities and lack of peace due to the shrinking of the FDI and energy crisis.
Pakistan was running from pole pole to find any investment opportunities. No one was ready to invest in Pakistan. In the fight against terrorism, the so -called allies closed their eyes on Pakistan’s needs. He even refused to provide verbal assistance to attract investment. Instead, they started deploying institutions, introducing restrictions to tighten the situation, and the FATF was one of them. He also launched malicious campaigns to present Pakistan as one of the most dangerous countries in the world, with Western media and think tanks at the forefront of this effort. It created a negative image of Pakistan and discouraged investors from investing there. They applied various pressures on Pakistan to force it to kneel.
In this disappointing situation, China stepped in to help Pakistan. As experienced friends and Iron Brothers of the time, China refused to act on any propaganda and began cooperating with Pakistan. It signed the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) to support Pakistan at several levels.
Pakistan is struggling to fully benefit the CPEC’s potential benefits. The main reason for this failure is that Pakistan cannot distinguish between bilateral relations and economic beliefs. Pakistan did not apply economic beliefs to put its economic projects into practice. In addition, disqualification, bureaucratic obstacles in the system, and the attitudes of the ruling elite further complicated the situation.
We can draw the following conclusions from the above discussion:
China -Pakistan Ironeted Brothers is a pledge, not a slogan. China has always helped Pakistan in difficult times, such as the wars of 1965 and 1971 and vice versa. China has never tried to depend on. In fact, it always helps Pakistan to achieve self -sufficiency. CPEC and Defense Cooperation are a fundamental example.
Pakistan -China relations cannot be compared to Pakistan’s relations with any other country. There is no logic in the debate to balance China’s relations with any other country (Western, Muslim countries, etc.), because no one has shown the intention of supporting Pakistan verbally, in all Vietsa. China has practically done so. Thus, the debate should be stopped here.
