India and China have serious disputes and both are trying to dominate the world through economic and military power, but instead of fighting a war, they have decided to boost economic and trade ties. Chinese PM is in India and both the countries have decided to increase trade from 60 billion dollars to 100 billion dollars. Can Pakistan also follow Chinese example?

China is a power and won this status through implemention of a certain code of conduct. Kindly do inform us about the law in China regarding:
1. Solicitation of Bribes.
2. Treason.

Assalam-o-Alaikum-Warahmat-ULLAH ALL,
I still maintain the 'primary' 'source' of 'lessons' that Muslims need to 'learn' is Islam.
Having said that, yes, one of the other places is 'our surroundings'. Yes, there are 'some' 'lessons' we Muslims need to learn, from looking at China.
Lessons like;
(1) don't sideline/abandon/commit treason with your own;
(a) civilization
(b) collective
(c) ways, culture, valuesin the face of a dominant power of the time/era.
(2) don't bow down in slavery or willing slavery to dominant power of the time/era, especially if they are unjust
(3) don't accept or don't allow yourself to be 'intimidated' by ways, culture, values of dominant power of the time/era, without sufficient reason
(4) don't 'run' for 'blindly' 'adapting' to ways, culture, values of dominant power of the time/era
(5) engage in 'wise' 'trade' in order to 'maintain' or 'improve' your position, as an individual as well as a 'collective'
(6) accept loss of your 'individual' 'position', if and when it helps to 'maintain' or 'improve' your 'collective' (nation, civilization) position
(7) etc etc

China and India are good examples of forming/improving relationships through bilateral trade. Both are fast becoming economic super powers of the future. According to a BBC report, China's economy will be larger than US economy in next 20 years and Indian economy will be larger than US in the next 30 years. These figures are impressive and verifies my claim that how important is to promote trade between neighbouring countries.
I fully agree Pakistan should learn lesson and not only restore normal ties with India but also promote bilateral trade on large scale so people of both sides benefit fruits of prosperity and it will also help divert massive funds from Army to schools, infrastructure and health, etc.

Pakistan is on the right tract right now and this is evident from Chinese Premier’s three day visit to Pakistan.
ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan and China signed nearly two dozen private sector deals worth billions Saturday, the second day of a rare visit by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao to this impoverished, conflict-ridden ally.
Including government deals inked Friday, the two sides have agreed to 35 new pacts expected to bring up to $30 billion dollars of investment to Pakistan over the next five years, Islamabad said.
China is Pakistan's closest friend in Asia, giving Islamabad military aid and technical assistance, including nuclear technology. Crucially, most Pakistanis view China as an ally that, unlike Washington, doesn't make demands for its assistance.
Pakistan will always prefer long lasting relations with China. Relations with India cannot be fruitful until and unless all outstanding issues between these two warring neighbors are resolved for good.

MemberIts a normal practice, when you lack something in your system or society it might be political,social,business or religious a human always think the solutions. Well, when we say that should we learn from china? Yes, we should learn. But, what? Its more important question.
I am living in China for more than 3 years. I know them, I Know their political and economical system. And, i feel as a whole there is much for them to learn from us as a Pakistan.
There is a proverb "Door ke dhool suhane" If some one think deeply, he may understand.
I would shortly say that, please don't show the complex in the abilities and capabilities of our own nation and suggest to public learn from china, learn from India,learn from Japan etc.
Learning you need when you don't know something, we know all.The problem is the execution, we should start the execution and apply all existing learnings we have. We will win Insha Allah.Posted 12 months ago on 29 May 2011 4:22 # -

I say, Rafique Qureshi, that was well put: "Learning you need when you don't know something, we know all." Now that's the kind of faith in our country we need to propagate. As for execution, it is up to each one of us to see we subordinate personal considerations to the necessity of bringing the country forward. Easy to say, difficult to achieve. But it all starts with the personal realisation of what is wrong and how much of significance, albeit on a small scale, each individual can contribute to improving matters.
