Pakistan would benefit from diversification in relationships rather than completely relying on China. Also making statements like "every enemy of China is our enemy" is dangerous. As I said earlier. Nobody will attack China but it is more likely China will attack others. When this happens you will see what I mean.HI,
You are not even from Turkey are you?
Secondly, No one needs your advice on how we deal our replationship with others.
Vassal state plz.. get a proper recognition for yourself rather than begging turley to get you one ( identity)
I got -24 because PDF only gives "think-thank" status to racist Chinese and Russians. The number of thanks I got is a better indication.No wonder you have accumulated -24 points.
Turkey makes distinction between politics and economics. Pakistan should follow the same policy of balancing relationships in the region. China's aggressive policies in the region and against the smaller neighbors won't benefit Pakistan. It should stay out of it. China is a stagnating economy while its population in large lives in abject poverty. Its economy won't grow for the coming decades. The time will prove that Pakistan would have benefitted from being more neutral in the region instead of its current position. At the end nobody wants to be on the loosing team.I suppose what my friend @atatwolf was trying to illustrate to you, @mike2000 is back , is the multidimensionality of national relationships. You see there are many kinds of relationships, when we are referring to the diplomatic level, there are:
In regards to Turkey and China, they may not be ideologically succinct compared to the say Turkish-Azerbaijan, Turkish-Turkish Cyprus, or the same way as say Japan-Turkey , or Japan-United States, but they have a relationship, nevertheless. China and Turkey have a trade relationship, one that has seen bilateral trade rise to the $30 Billion mark. This is substantial yet at the same time not surprising because Turkey is a relatively well developed nation state of 80 million citizens and a GDP of over $822 Billion (that's quite large, actually). This trade relationship enables goods and commodities , affordable as they are, to come into Turkey, at the same time Turkish goods and commodities to enter into the Chinese market of 1.4 billion.
- Trade Relationships
- Cultural Relationships
- Military & Strategic Relationships
- Ideological Relationships
So, tho Turkey and China may not share similar ideological points , and they may have some areas of concerns (the Uighur issue), but that does not diminish their vibrant economic trade. Nor should it. In fact the fact that Turkey and China maintain a healthy trade relationship despite ideological differences speaks of the maturity of the respective governments , and this is a credit to them both.
Naturally that is the the way. For example, China and Japan may not be ideologically succinct and may have diplomatic obstacles, however, that does not diminish the Sino-Japanese bilateral trade which is now reaching $500 Billion per year; the largest trade relationship in Asia.
We may not see things "eye" to "eye" but we can definitely trade and make money. lol.
That's the way it should be, Mike. Right?
Cheerio and Carry On,
