Asian World looks likes it a small community online news site with a small reader base. Not sure if this "list" is based on some facts? it looks like an opinion piece with some stretching of facts.

I am not privy to any insider info but generally the trend among a few GCC countries like KSA and UAE is for greater self reliance in most fields. There is a great realization that expertise in STEM education and planning for 4IR is the way for the future.

Thank you for the info. Its a pity as the F-5's have proved a have a long life considering it was originally meant as cheap unsophisticated counterpart to the F-4.

While the Japanese might be looking for a more assertive posture with regards to China but it will be under no illusion of initiating an armed conflict with China.

The writer of the original opinion piece is Gordan G. Chang. This is what his Wiki page says about him: "Chang has said that the Chinese government would collapse in 2011, 2012 and 2016 ever since his start as a right wing pundit in 2001.[5][6] Chang also says that China is a "new dot-com...

I think the Saudis recognize the importance of this as its not enough to just have the individual elements like aircraft, munitions, electronics, etc. but its the bringing together of these as a whole eco system to wage air warfare and to link it the the larger strategic battlefield objects. In...

No country can afford to sit and wait for a potential opponent to keep striking while it keeps defending so it would seem logical for Japan to relook its strategy. I think the main issue would the opposition to it from within Japan and its neighbors given its WWII history.

So in a real democracy the minority would have a say and their status in the country would be equal to the majority regardless of religion and race. While in a Hindu religious theocracy state the minority status is what ever the Hindu majority decide? And I am assuming, for now, that whatever is...

Interesting views and I would tend to agree with your overall assertions of majority of Indians now moving/having moved to a Hindu state. I am not sure if Hindu is the right word? as I am trying to figure out the correct term for a Hindu religious state nation. So assuming everyone in India was...

As a nation we love to make sanctimonious talk about how much we respect and protect women, reality is a bit different. Generally, any woman stepping outside her home is a target for harassment, whether its in the bazaar, office, or even walking on the streets. Ask the women around you and you...

Very noble plan but the devil is in the implementation. I wish somehow they had managed to succeed, imagine the boost to the country's STEM base.

This "article" is exactly the reason why much of Indian MSM has become a propaganda wing of the GOI/BJP.

I guess its a vicious cycle but one would expect that if HEC is sending people on scholarships they would have some sort of plan to use the education of those people on returning to Pak whether in the public sector or in collab with the private sector.

So the net result was zero since everyone who passed their PhD exams choose to not return. HEC is clearly not able to do due diligence while granting scholarships.

I think India is finding that its not easy, perhaps not even possible, to manage a 2 front war or even hot LOC and LAC at the same time. It makes sense for Indian policy makers to look for some sort of deal/treaty with US and some of its allies. This can result in sharing of intel, provision...

This is planning for the future.

I think the article is clear that this is part of their fleet renewal program. The US military will continue to remain the most powerful military force for the near future.

I think US is also asking for a $300M payment from Sudan for removing sanctions?

What was the message? and why did he delete the tweet?

Part of the problem is that the govt never took education seriously. Its been unofficially outsourced to society and that has led to the rise of unregulated teaching methods and subjects. Many religious schools fall in to this category. Teachers who have grown up taking punishments will also...
