Pakistan is headed in the wrong direction, at least economically. It is increasingly in debt and beholden to China which is exploiting its state to further increase its influence in the country. The main reason is there are no jobs for the growing workforce. The private sector is undeveloped and foreign investment is scant. Every Pakistani tries to get a job with the government, leading to a bloated bureaucracy.
Socially, Pakistan is also losing its sense of morality and religious values, something which even Imran Khan admitted in his interview with Hamza Abbasi. Western decadence is taking root among Pakistani youth through social media and even mainstream media (the entertainment industry).
Politically, Pakistan is increasingly becoming an authoritarian police state, with less freedom of the media and press. PEMRA regularly censors media coverage of major events that take place in Pakistan. Journalists are occasionally abducted and vanished. Religious minorities like the Ahmadis are also persecuted in Pakistan with discriminatory laws that criminalize their religious beliefs and its propagation.
Geopolitically, Pakistan is increasingly isolated. It has frosty relations with its old Gulf Arab friends, with the United States and the West in general. As India continues to grow economically into a regional power, Pakistan will have to devote more of its budget to the arms race to keep up with India's progress, but that will only serve to bankrupt Pakistan further, just as the USSR was drained in its arms race with the US though it couldn't keep up and eventually collapsed.
Major issues with what you said, I'll get through them.
First, Pakistan is not headed in the wrong direction economically. What happened was a small downturn as we tried to shift our economy from an import based one to an export based one. Now that Pakistan's economy is export based look at the new numbers. Because of our efforts, exports are higher than ever and Pakistan is now getting current account surplus as well. Also how the actual f does China have an influence in Pakistan. They don't lol. Sometimes you people forget that ISI, the one who defeated the Soviets in Afg and the one who's defeating the Americans in Afg right now, still exists. It knows about everything and if the Chinese double cross us they will have a bad fate. The biggest idiotic thing you said is that Pakistan's private sector is underdeveloped. Pakistan is run by the private sector. Everything here is being done by the people, not the government. The people are now even building roads on there own in some places. You only have to visit Karachi to understand what I'm saying lol. Also Pakistan has a massive massive informal economy which is never taken into account. If you count it Pakistan's economy will be way bigger than we see it.
Also, liking a few celebrities and shit doesn't mean that we're losing our morals lol. We still stick to our morals and values.
Pakistan is an authoritarian police state?
KUCH BHI? MATLAB KUCH BHI?
The PDM just held a protest when protests had been banned by the Supreme Court itself and the government and police were able to do nothing. Just shut up at this point. PEMRA censors anti-Pakistan matters, not everything. Ask yourself, do the Indians allow criticizing the govt? They don't. Pakistan at least criticizing the government is allowed and is being done on a massive scale right now. Even your western father, the French have started silencing the media. Also journalist abduction is a thing of the past mainly, nowadays its only done to those acting against Pakistan or speaking up against it, which is being done in every country nowadays, India is the perfect example of journalists being silenced.
Geopolitically, Pakistan is only isolated according to the Indian narrative. Pakistan has good relations with China, good relations with Russia now, improving relations with Iran, good relations with the Arabs (the Indian media has been boasting about Pakistan being dropped but that is nowhere the case, Pakistan still runs the militaries of all Arab states, the option of deploying nukes in Saudi Arabia in case Iran develops one is still there, and Arab investment is pouring into Pakistan, mainly Gwadar and Karachi). Pakistan also has really good relations with fellow Islamic countries like Turkey and Malaysia. You're just naming countries Pakistan lost, not those that became Pakistan's allies. Also, Pakistan is in no position of maintaining an arms race as of now, but as our economy will go up, we will easily be able to as India has a population of 1.3 billion to take care of, while Pakistan has only 200 million, and when our economy grows we could easily spend similar if not more than India.
