So........Pakistan has geopolitical reach that is almost equal to India :
Everybody here knows about the current condition of Pakistan.
The important thing is that Pakistan should had collapsed so far but it didn't.
On the contrary it actually garned many offers from various countries, such as China , US , Saudi Arabia and last but not least Turkey.
During recent Pakistani crisis Saudis and Chinese provided them various funds.
Pakistan used Islamic Brotherhood for getting funds/loans from Saudi and Turkey.
This one is obvious.
Interesting thing was that they somehow managed to get package from China. Chinese don't lend their money unless they get something back.
There is nothing really there except future market that Chinese can access.
Pakistani economy is around 370 Billions only. They even balanced China and US in their trade .
Americans hadn't lost their bet with Pakistan yet. Chinese CPEC is working fine. I always thought that CPEC is just a branch of BRI but Chinese keep pumping money into the deadend known as CPEC . They could have slow down their investments but they didn't.
Pakistan seems to be almost unaffected by ongoing US - China wrangle.
Modi had work extensively for sole purpose of containment and dismembering Pakistan further. But it bears no fruit still.
What is exactly the contrivance that amends the follies of Pakistan currently?
Any thoughts?
Heard about economic complexity index, wherever there are people alive there will be some sort of economy, you can't cripple it like that, even war torn Syria, inflation capital Lebanon etc exist and have some form of economy. And for a country that has serious firepower, you can't cripple them easily, what can be done is make life unsustainable there, and currently that's what's happening, no major railway projects, no major industries and old ones are shutting down slowly, there economic complexity is not growing much and so does their economy, apart from base year revision and currency manipulation their economy hasn't grown much in last 12 years or so, and you can't corner a country without being the strongest one in the room, and we aren't clearly. And being unaffected by US-China cold war is a big term, given they almost defaulted, their forex are shit, have huge debt to be serviced. For last 10 years their literacy rate is fluctuating between 55-60 percent, their deficit grew from -15 billion approx to -40 billions currently, and their military spending is if they have a economy of 1 trillion dollars which isn't, so they are bound for failure, regarding geopolitics, we have good enough relationship with gulf countries for trade and it's working fine for us, and USA is the big boy in the room, you can't woo your way, and it's the worst friend and enemy to have, given China, you can't do much, they have good leverage over the world already.
The time is to grow silently and keep your interest safe, influence can be exerted as per our weight , puching above weight leads to Pakistan like economics
