WUHAN, June 20 (China Economic Net) – “Thank you so much! Chinese doctors and nurses are so nice. Your efforts mean a lot to my family,” said Muhammad Arshad, the father of a Pakistani patient at Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University (ZNWU).
Arshad is a teacher of a university in Islamabad, Pakistan. His son, 6-year-old Arshad Jr. was diagnosed with brainstem tumor at the beginning of 2022.
Arshad was deeply worried about it as Pakistani doctors were uncertain about taking operation for his son. As a father, Arshad wants to do everything he can to save his child.
Arshad had studied and got his doctoral degree on cognitive science at Tsinghua University, China. So Arshad has many Chinese friends.
Two friends recommended professor Chen Jincao, a top expert on neurosurgery and also chief physician of ZNWU. Arshad soon decided to take his son and wife to Wuhan China, putting his hope in professor Chen.
After the quarantine due to COVID-19, Arshad Jr. was admitted to ZNWU on May 11, 2022.
Soon, Professor Chen called for a consultation with experts from about ten departments including Pediatrics, oncology and chemoradiotherapy Department to discuss the best treatment plan for Arshad Jr.
However, the test results of Arshad Jr. was not very good.
“The tumor has invaded 80 percent of brainstem, which is rare,” said Professor Chen. “It means the following surgery will be difficult and it also presents a tough challenge to the medical team,” Chen added.
On knowing the situation, Arshad said, “Professor Chen, I trust you completely. Just go ahead. I support the team’s decision.”
Professor Chen and his teammates expressed that they would spare no pains to treat this little patient and try to fulfill the trust of Arshad and his wife.
On May 17, Professor Chen and his teammates took a “three in one” surgery for Arshad Jr., which consisted of brainstem lesion resection, decompressive craniectomy and lateral ventricle intraperitoneal shunt.
“The ‘three in one’ surgery lasted for six hours. It not only gets the expected goal but also lays a foundation for the following treatment,” said Xu Chengshi, an associate chief physician of neurosurgery department, and a member of the medical team for Arshad Jr.
After the operation, Arshad Jr. was treated in the ICU for seven days. Later, his situation was better, and then he was transferred to the general ward.
His parents were very appreciated for that. His father said, “It proved that my decision to take the surgery in China made several months ago was very correct.”
“It is our bounden duty to cure patients by our professional knowledge and skill.
Besides, we hope to show our sincere care and bring warmth to our Batie (Pakistani iron brothers),” said Xu.
Xu told China Economic Net (CEN) their team made special efforts to take good care of Arshad Jr.
On one hand, Arshad Jr. was also put in a single ward to facilitate their living here. A nursing team with English speaking nurses was arranged for better communications with Arshad Jr. and his parents.
On the other hand, ZNWU and Professor Chen’s team made a partial remission of fees for Malik Jr.
On June 2, Professor Chen, Xu and Hu Qin, the nursing supervisor came to the ward of Arshad Jr. and presented traditional Chinese rice-pudding, sachet and toys to them.
Arshad Jr. greeted them with a wave. When the toy was put before Arshad Jr., excitement was shining in this little boy’s eyes.
Professor Chen said Arshad Jr.’s situation is getting better and encouraged the boy to continue to bravely beat the disease.
Xu told CEN that Arshad Jr. would be discharged from hospital in July 2022.
“We are willing to serve more patients including people from countries and regions involved in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), for the building of a community with a shared future for all mankind,” said Xu.

$2.3bn Chinese loan credited to SBP account, says Miftah​

Dawn.com
June 24, 2022 -

Finance Minister Miftah Ismail addresses a press conference. — DawnNewsTV

Finance Minister Miftah Ismail said on Friday that a loan of $2.3 billion from a Chinese consortium of banks had been credited to the central bank's account.
"I am pleased to announce that Chinese consortium loan of RMB 15bn (roughly $2.3bn) has been credited into State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) account today, increasing our foreign exchange reserves," he said on Twitter.

According to the central bank, its liquid foreign reserves stood at $14.21bn as of June 17, up from $8.99bn on June 10.

The statement comes two days after Ismail had announced that Chinese banks had signed a loan agreement with Pakistan. He had also thanked the Chinese government for facilitating the transaction.

Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari had also expressed his gratitude to the Chinese leadership. "The people of Pakistan are grateful for the continued support of our all-weather friends," he had said.

Since February, Pakistan has been seeking a rollover of loans expiring very shortly to support the fast-depleting foreign exchange reserves of the SBP.

Former finance minister Shaukat Tarin and incumbent minister Ismail have repeatedly been claiming that an agreement had been reached for a loan rollover, but this did not materialise as Islamabad remained held up to divergent interests of big powers — China and the United States — in the face of the Russia-Ukraine war.

During the February visit of former prime minister Imran Khan to China, Pakistan sought about a $20bn support package. This included a $4bn debt rollover, an extension in currency swap from the existing $4.5bn to $10bn and $5.5bn in additional financial support.

China had since rolled over about $2bn some two months ago but the remaining items were swept under the carpet.

On June 10, Islamabad had again requested China for a $2bn debt rollover. In a recent public appearance, Ismail said the government had received a letter from the Chinese government for a loan rollover, but the signing of the agreement with the relevant banks took time to materialise.

Interestingly, the budget books for the 2022-23 fiscal year had missed reporting about $7bn-9bn worth of Chinese and International Monetary Fund (IMF) loans. The minister had conceded in his post-budget news conference that underreporting of these loans was a mistake that would be rectified.

Once taken into account, foreign economic assistance to Pakistan during the next fiscal year is estimated to be around $24bn. Two Chinese SAFE deposit loans of $1bn each are maturing within this month and the next.

China also rolled over $2bn in SAFE deposit loans in March. These loans are mostly secured to shore up foreign exchange reserves, budget support and project financing.

Pakistan invites Chinese firms to invest in renewable energy sector​

• Chinese delegation interested in energy projects, especially wind corridor in Thatta

BR Web Desk
30 Jun, 2022

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday invited Chinese companies to invest in the country’s renewable energy sector, especially in solar power.

The PM expressed these views while talking to a delegation of Chinese state-owned company NORINCO that had called on him in Islamabad, according to a statement.

The delegation was led by vice-president NORINCO International Wang Xiaobing and CEO NORINCO International (Pakistan), Li Chen.

The prime minister also appreciated the company for its role in the Lahore Orange Line Metro Train project, which he said is facilitating hundreds of thousands of commuters in Lahore daily.

He recalled that it was for the first time that open bidding took place in a Government to Government (G2G) project i.e. Lahore Orange Line. He stated that negotiations were held with the lowest bidder, leading to a saving of $600 million, adding that it was a milestone in the development history of Pakistan.

The NORINCO delegation showed keen interest in investing in the wide spectrum of renewable energy projects in Pakistan, especially the wind corridor in Thatta for where a 100 MW wind power project has been proposed.

As per Pakistan’s latest power generation mix, non-renewable energy sources account for over 70% of power generation in the month of May.

The remaining is made up of renewable sources of energy, with hydroelectric power leading the way with 24% of the power generation, whereas wind accounts for 5%, while solar power contributed only 1% to country’s energy needs, with a generation of only 90kWh last month.

NORINCO also highlighted fibre optic along railway lines, copper and iron ore mining at proven reserves, and infrastructure development in big cities as key investment opportunities.

The Prime Minister said Pakistan is open to investment and will facilitate the process. He stated deepening China-Pakistan economic cooperation is critical to Pakistan’s socio-economic uplift, while highlighting the significance of CPEC as transformational project for the mutual benefit and development of both the friendly countries.

Meanwhile, Member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and Director of the Central Commission on Foreign Affairs of the CPC Yang Jiechi arrived on a two-day visit to Pakistan on Wednesday.

Pakistanis celebrating Eid in Lanzhou, China​

By Zafar Hussain | China Economic Net Jul 11, 2022



LANZHOU, July 11 (China Economic Net) - Lanzhou is a land of ancient silk roads and the capital city of Gansu province, northwest China where many Pakistanis and foreigners are studying and running business.
Pakistani researchers (Dr. Sufyan Javed, Dr. Adnan Akram, Dr. Kamran Malik, Dr. Akram, Dr. Athar Khaliq, and Saamat Ali Saghar) who are serving at Lanzhou University, shared their Eid celebration experience and story with China Economic Net (CEN).
They told CEN that their experience might be very useful for those Muslim people who have doubts about coming to China and for those people who are afraid of leaving home and being all alone in another country.
Dr. Sufyan Javed noted, “Today is Eid al-Adha here in China and it is our first experience of animal sacrifice (Qurbani) in China”. Eid al-Adha or Festival of Sacrifice is a major religious festival celebrated by Muslims across the world. Muslims observe this day to reminisce the Sunnah of Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son, Ismail, for the sake of God.
"We woke up in the early morning and wore traditional dress to offer Eid prayer and went to Masjid. Then, we went to sacrificed animals designated place Xiaoxihu (a local Muslim area of Lanzhou) to purchase the goat for sacrifice. After that, we broughtsacrificed goat meat to our community and distributed a major portion to the Pakistani Muslim students of Lanzhou University, China. Then, we cooked a lot of Pakistani food and we savoured them until our stomachs could not stretch anymore", he stated.

Dr. Athar Khaliq and Saamat Ali Saghar said that in the evening, they went to a beautiful, historical, and natural place Zhongshan Qiao (a famous bridge on the Yellow River). “We enjoyed the fresh air, boating, and walking on the bank of the Yellow River. At night we came back to our apartments”, he said.
They further said that Eid day in China is a great one although they are thousands of miles away from home. “It’s all because of wonderful friends. Long live Pak-China friendship”, some of them exclaimed.
"We are expected to share our food with the less fortunate. Traditionally, meat is divided into three equal parts: one for home; one for family, friends, and neighbours; and one for the poor. Another important thing is that we are expected to make donations to charity to mark the festival. Every time we arrange a grand lunch and dinner on the first day of the festival and exchange gifts with each other. I try to visit all my friends around and wish them Eid greetings", Dr. Adnan Akram added.
Dr. Kamran Malik said that the second and third day of the festival is also busy with different activities like eating together, spending time, and going out to play with friends here at Lanzhou University and outside the campus.
