That might be the case, I know, but I do know most still keep some link back home, in one way or another.
Many want to invest back home but fear that it'll all go to waste.
That's the real problem I think, many people have stopped trusting Pakistan...

In the U.S at least, a lot of people I know would go back to Pakistan if the security situation improved drastically and if there wasn't rampant corruption and cheating there.

Many people did go back during the Musharraf era

Many Pakistanis in China actually live in Hong Kong, afaik.

Got it bro, but when you talk of millions of people, there will always be a few turds.

Never knew UK had more than 1 million Pakistanis Wow

Got it bro, but when you talk of millions of people, there will always be a few turds.

Many of them are here with us in important positions, within the government and this website. It makes me sad for our children's future.

....It makes me sad for our [American born/raised] children's future.

Not sure if this should be an overarching statement. Pak children growing up in America have fantastic opportunities for education and jobs. During my visits to American and Canada, I found most of the kids doing really well in studies. Off course there are bad apples in every community.

peace.

Looks like people are escaping from land of poor.......

Don't talk about India, bro. I know you are a living example, but let the rest of your countrymen retain hope.
