I once read a quotation about China that, "China is a civilization pretending to be a nation." How right the speaker Mr. Micheal Ledeen was at that time. It has always been so mesmerizing reading about the Chinese history and Chinese folklore stories. We Pakistanis hold Peoples Republic of China and the Chinese people as our greatest friends and brothers. Diplomatic relations between Pakistan and China were established on 21 May, 1951. If we look at the history of Sino-Pak relations we find that there have been numerous times when our Chinese brethren helped us at some very needy times. Karakorum Highways will always stand tall as a monument of friendship between these two countries. However, for the last 10 or more years, ever since we got the menace of terrorism in our country, the danger to our Chinese brothers who work here in Pakistan has increased. Whenever i read a news item about the terrorists kidnapping or hurting these Chinese, it hurts so much just like my own family member has been hurt. I feel that it is not only the government's responsibility but also the responsibility of the citizens of Pakistan to personally take care that no mortal can harm all these Chinese who come all the way from their country to Pakistan to help us. To be left along in the community of nations is a very terrifying feeling, and at this stage when we have a very few nations on our side sincerely, our friendship with the Chinese is o
ur most precious possession. It is so sad that there is so little about China in our school and college course books. I wish that our government can look into this and add more chapters about China especially about Mao and his philosophy, about Confucius, about Chinese history. There should be more Chinese language centers so that our youth can go to China both for education and also to work there in different fields to contribute in the progress of the Peoples Republic of China. It is imperative for us to realize the importance of this friendship and work hard to not only to preserve its essence but to further strengthen it. Failure to do so will put us into the darkest corners of the world map.Let us all pledge to work for strengthening this bond of friendship with our Chinese brethren, and donot spare a single effore to ensure that they live and stay safely here. Long live Pak China Friendship. Sphere: Related Content
