Japan tried to do that already.

Japan tried to do that already.

Not on the same scale as China, and in some areas, China is more advanced. It takes time to replace every tedious human undesired work with robots. Japan is not well equiped to develop highly AI robotics becos it doesnt have big data capacity as China, Chinese AI is more advanced than Japanese AI in some areas, only America can compete with China on AI race.

Nobody likes communist Chinese. Even if they ask, we must not send our people to China. These people are criminals and might bankrupt more countries in the near future.

They might not need such hateful losers like you.

Probably better just relocating labor intensive parts of the Chinese economy to Pakistani especially if the products are going to or raw materials are coming from Africa or the Middle East. Similar to how Japan has build factories in ASEAN countries/Bangladesh/India and decreasing the need to import labor, shifting part of the production to a large and friendly lower labor cost country is a win win solution. Pakistan will earn more money to spend on more Chinese procure to build up more of its industries and buy more Chinese goods.

Considering the 996 expectations, many Pakistanis probably wouldn’t want to work in China based factories itself. Many Pakistani don’t want to relocate to other cities in Pakistan for manual work, much less other countries. The white collar workers and Students are a different story and would probably be more willing to move to advance their careers.

This is why a direct rail line between the two countries would be truly game changing (costing under $25 Billion). No need to depend on the Afghans and Central Asians (potential interference from the Russians, Turks, and Western countries), and its benefit to China as an alternative to sailing supplies around the Indian Ocean and south east Asia are benefits to Chinese business.

If you imaging Pakistan similar to the West coast of North America with the mountains in between the two countries like the American Rocky Mountains and China itself like the eastern 2/3 of North America, you can see this will effectively for Chinese business make the China’s logistical opportunities similar to the US and it’s two ocean routes.

Migrations, even if allowed, may result in a few million Pakistanis moving to China, but a shift of industries to Pakistan allows these factories to pick the best talent from amongst nearly the entire labor force

If only our leaders had vision like this....

Is the article proposing brain drain?

Why not just cooperate with China if anything to strengthen your foundations, institutions, and make your human resource valuable.

Plus China is a productive and pragmatic nation, if they believe this is a solution and agree with it, they'll seek it out with the government themselves. It's not something that won't cross their minds.

Ok, lets see then.

It is already happened. Read up more on updated China's modernization on Ai and robots. Factory workers are being replaced by robots. Old traditional labour intensive factories are being replaced by automated factories.

China Is Still the World's Factory—And It's Designing the Future With AI​

For many years now, China has been the world’s factory. Even in 2020, as other economies struggled with the effects of the pandemic, China’s manufacturing output was $3.854 trillion, up from the previous year, accounting for nearly a third of the global market.

But if you are still thinking of China’s factories as sweatshops, it’s probably time to change your perception. The Chinese economic recovery from its short-lived pandemic blip has been boosted by its world-beating adoption of artificial intelligence (AI). After overtaking the U.S. in 2014, China now has a significant lead over the rest of the world in AI patent applications. In academia, China recently surpassed the U.S. in the number of both AI research publications and journal citations. Commercial applications are flourishing: a new wave of automation and AI infusion is crashing across a swath of sectors, combining software, hardware and robotics.

As a society, we have experienced three distinct industrial revolutions: steam power, electricity and information technology. I believe AI is the engine fueling the fourth industrial revolution globally, digitizing and automating everywhere. China is at the forefront in manifesting this unprecedented change.

Chinese traditional industries are confronting rising labor costs thanks to a declining working population and slowing population growth. The answer is AI, which reduces operational costs, enhances efficiency and productivity-, and generates revenue growth.

For example, Guangzhou-based agricultural-technology company XAG, a Sinovation Ventures portfolio company, is sending drones, robots and sensors to rice, wheat and cotton fields, automating seeding, pesticide spraying, crop development and weather monitoring. XAG’s R150 autonomous vehicle, which sprays crops, has recently been deployed in the U.K. to be used on apples, strawberries and blackberries.

Some companies are rolling out robots in new and unexpected sectors. MegaRobo, a Beijing-based life-science automation company also backed by Sinovation Ventures, designs AI and robots to safely perform repetitive and precise laboratory work in universities, pharmaceutical companies and more, reducing to zero the infection risk to lab workers.

It’s not just startups; established market leaders are also leaning into AI. EP Equipment, a manufacturer of lithium-powered warehouse forklifts founded in Hangzhou 28 years ago, has with Sinovation Ventures’ backing launched autonomous models that are able to maneuver themselves in factories and on warehouse floors. Additionally Yutong Group, a leading bus manufacturer with over 50 years’ history, already has a driverless Mini Robobus on the streets of three cities in partnership with autonomous vehicle unicorn WeRide.

Where is all this headed? I can foresee a time when robots and AI will take over the manufacturing, design, delivery and even marketing of most goods—potentially reducing costs to a small increment over the cost of materials. Robots will become self-replicating, self-repairing and even partially self-designing. Houses and apartment buildings will be designed by AI and use prefabricated modules that robots put together like toy blocks. And just-in-time autonomous public transportation, from robo-buses to robo-scooters, will take us anywhere we want to go.

It will be years before these visions of the future enter the mainstream. But China is laying the groundwork right now, setting itself up to be a leader not only in how much it manufactures, but also in how intelligently it does it.

The terrains of giant steep mountan ranges between Pakistan and China make it very difficult, if not impossible to build the railroad for long distance for now, I think.

I’m extrapolating from the planned Railway between China and Nepal. Should be Similar terrain.

 

[TheSolution]

Wtf is wrong with you? lol, you got some weird mental issues.

Whats this obsession over males? I'm simply talking about immigrants many of whom are skilled coming and working in industries, its literally the norm all around the world, some of the people migrate with their families, what later generations do with regards to who they marry is their business. Even Vietnam has had migration of chinese people amongst its population in its history, many of those people probably settled in vietnam.



Yeah that just sounds like some BS racist projections. lol

You sound desperate, it's not a good quality to beg and plead against what others want for themselves

Chinese in the west are only liberal as long as they live in the west. As soon as they move back home they will become conservative right wingers

Infact Indians are the same way. No different. Both expect to be appeased as minorities but when they are majority they treat minority worst than dirt.

Everyone is, it's human nature.

Of course they support it when it benefits them indirectly, and they don't care about the effects it has on the nation overall because that's the natives true home

But when it comes to your native country, everyone's true opinion comes out because that is your real home, and you look at it from a national perspective not just individual benefit

If only our leaders had vision like this....

Hopefully a new government comes in and it as part of major reforms finally looks to shift to geo-economics. The $25 Billion rail route to China ($15 Billion in Pakistan) and the two $5 Billion rail routes through Afghanistan to Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan would create the three East, North, and Westward routes to link to Pakistan’s access to the Global South.

This is on top of the rebuilding of Mainline 1 at $10 billion. An extension of the Line from Karachi to Gwadar and up to Taftan would creates the shortest route between the two port cities and the rail link to Iran and Central Asia via Afghanistan as well as the Gold Mine at Reko-Diq. It would also create a more secure route to Quetta. The Karachi-Gwadar-Taftan line would probably be another $5 Billion but open up so many opportunities for Gwadar. $50 billion in total cost, $30 Billion of that in Pakistan.

Making Pakistan truly the “Crossroads of Asia”.

But, the China Nepal line is much shorter. Hopefully, the railroad will be built soon.

Japan tried to do that already.

But, the China Nepal line is much shorter. Hopefully, the railroad will be built soon.

The Qinghai-Lhasa railway was the original railway, and the Nepal section would be an extension of that line (or an extension of the line already being built from Lhasa to Shigatse)

Also remember there is a High Speed Rail line being built from Chengdu to Lhasa. The Chinese rail companies have the best track record to overcome the challenges of the terrain between China and Pakistan. Mostly through tunnels and bridges.
