You have not read those posts saying that "China has nothing or has been very backward initially before open and reform, in the past 30 years, China has grown into a major power and has enjoyed economic development afterwards. Pakistan will have similar growth like China did with China's help and etc".??? It surely is not exact wording but the meaning is similar.
Does a post made by an 'individual' constitute to 'many'? I believe below are your own words no?
However, no matter how much support we provide for Pakistan, it will be tremendously hard for Pakistan to move forward even though many members here have sincerely hope Pakistan can grow like China in the past 30 years.
What I am trying to say that Pakistan has major problems to overcome and the most difficult one is the terrorist problems within its border.
I won't narrow it down to its borders. The problem is wide spread.
Without overcoming that, all of the growth talk is just wishful thinking. And only Pakistan itself can deal with that problem and the sooner it has been taken care of, the better Pakistan will be on its way to development.
I don't believe it is Pakistan's own problem. Especially with the extremists that are being driven in by the U.S. from Afghanistan. It also depends on the perspectives. To Pakistan is it their own problem. But to China it is a problem for both to tackle especially if it borders the two neighbouring countries. As for the SCO, any 'regional' instability becomes their problem. So I still stand by my personal believe that this is a regional problem and we should lend Pakistan a hand on the issue in whatever way we can. However, I don't agree to solving it by violence. It needs to be solved diplomatically. Waging war on terror for me, was a grave mistake.
In addition, there is nowhere I have suggested that China behaves like U.S. does. China has not played interference role for so long already. It won't change such policy for the foreseeable future.
Here are your own words:
I do suggest Pakistan need more effort rein in control its terrorists problems within its border. It is strategically important for both Pakistan and China in the long term. The current effort devoted by Pakistan clearly is not enough.
I simply indicate that terrorist activities in Pakistan have been so severely widespread and it poses a foreseeable serious threat to China's stability in northwest region.
You read my post carefully??? Is my intention to write the posts to blame Pakistan??? All my intention is express a valid concern and hope Pakistan can do more to get rid of those terrorists within its border. It is not a blame game/post.
Your undertone implies that the burden now lies upon Pakistan and that they are not doing enough and may cause China problems. It is somewhat similar to what the American way of covering its own failures by blaming Pakistan for not doing enough. The fact that you have been stressing about Pakistan not handling the issue efficiently and accusing them of not being able to control its borders can be applied on China just the same.
Should China not be accused of the same should terrorists enter China from outside its borders? If you was to be the judge, then China's head would fall before the same axe for its lack of control on its border. There is a saying in the west "The pot calling the kettle black" comes to mind.
End of the day, it is clearly a regional issue which must be tackled and addressed coherently via joint efforts. Instead of suggesting Pakistan should do more about it, why not suggest China and Pakistan should do more about it? and how the SCO can work within its own framework and draw up plans and excercise joint efforts to tackle these problems? It's to everyone's interests to have a stable and workable environment right? No one is forcing you to sing along with the majority here neither are we throwing bricks at you. You just need to lay out your argument and claims constructively and think more outside the box. Accepting opinions and suggestions of others also help, instead of claiming moral high grounds.
