56% Pakistanis prefer economic relationship with China: Gallup Survey

No oil and no resources is no excuse. Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan (China), Hong Kong (China) are all poor on oil and natural resources.

You need to have people of business talents, especially export minded people, vocational training for mid-level technicians and common workers, infrastructure (power stations, railways, seaports, airports, universities and colleges heavily invested in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, mathematics) as well as economics, business studies and accountacy.

You need to encourage foreign investments with Tax Incentive and setting up industrial zones or industrial parks/estates for them.

Gwadar Port project was a good starting point, but Pakistanis enthusiasm is a bit low.

And lastly, you need to have long term political stability.

I said we lack human resources as well. You just listed some of the most educated, highest IQ nations on earth and are expecting us farmers to compete with them. Its like saying "be like to the jews because Jews are rich" Not gonna happen, our own hope is oil or low cost manufacturing.

What does economy relationship has to do with immigration ? China is not an immigration country as the US.

It definitely reflects on preferences - preferring an economic relationship to a country means you want to be more engaged and consume aspects of that country versus preferring immigration means you actually want to be part of that country.

So the relationship seems to be focused on economics rather than any actual wish to be part of Chinese thought and system.

Whereas while the apparent preference is to not have an economic relationship with the US, the immigration numbers suggest Pakistanis would rather have and be Angelina Jolie than Zhang Ziyi.

It speaks to Pakistani duplicity and self deception more than anything else - nothing on the Chinese in general

We got no oil, no resources and our human talent sucks. We have nothing to offer. Its a lopsided relationsip and will be a drain on the CAD.

We have one of the world's largest shale oil reserves and maybe it's a good thing to set aside for the time being until our corruption index improves. Moreover, we are an agriculture rich country. We have all 4 seasons and every landscape from warm deserts to humid tropics to cold mountains to grow things a lot of countries in the Middle East, Central Asia and South Asia can't. The role model for that is the Netherlands. They have nothing except agri business yet one of the richest countries in the world. As far as human skills are concerned, I believe that will improve if there is political stability
