Pak-China Strategic Cooperation: A Testimony of Threshold Alliance🧵 “PLA and Pakistan Army are brothers in arms & our relationship will continue to contribute towards safeguarding our collective interests.” – Former COAS Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa Despite too much heterogeneity in terms of culture, history, religion, language, race, economic and political systems & ideological berths, the friendship between Pakistan and China has constantly been on an upward trajectory. Pakistan commenced its strategic relationship with China amid the Cold War period, an era of bipolar world order. Three primary factors that brought Pakistan closer to China were: ◘ Pakistan’s support of China in United Nations forums ◘ The country’s fundamental role in facilitating the Sino-US reconciliation, and ◘ Perceived India as a common threat to both states' national security architectures. However, China immensely supported Pakistan during the Cold War period and helped the country to pursue its nuclear program when it faced the American imposed sanctions in 1989.

Three Indians Dead: Washington Escapes Accountability, Delhi Stays Silent An attack by American Forces near the Strait of Hormuz turned an ordinary voyage into a tragedy. Three Indian crew members lost their lives, including a young cadet on his first assignment and a father working to support his family. Three Indians died, blame was redirected, and the world moved on. Washington offered an explanation, not accountability. New Delhi offered restraint, not outrage. Washington never respected Indians enough to care for their lives, yet Delhi never had enough courage to even demand accountability.

JAAC claims to speak for the people, yet after admitting that most of its demands were met, it chose agitation over the democratic path. If constitutional change is the goal, elections, not endless street protests, are the legitimate route. The movement’s shift toward confrontation, using women as shields, and anti-Pakistan rhetoric risks undermining the very cause it claims to represent. Kashmir deserves responsible leadership, not perpetual instability.

How Budget 2026/2027 promotes national growth & provide historic relief to people & businesses For the first time in years, the budget combines taxpayer relief, lower inflation and economic growth instead of imposing new burdens on ordinary citizens. Salaried taxpayers, the most documented segment of the economy, have received meaningful tax relief, putting more money back into the pockets of middle-class families. Inflation has fallen from crisis-era highs of nearly 38% to single digits, and the budget has preserved these gains through continued fiscal discipline. With interest rates almost halved from their peak, businesses can borrow, invest and expand more easily, creating jobs and stimulating economic activity. A Rs 1 trillion development programme will continue infrastructure, connectivity and public welfare projects across the country. Reduction in property transaction taxes is expected to revive construction, one of Pakistan’s largest job-generating sectors, benefiting dozens of allied industries. The budget protects national security with a strengthened defence allocation while avoiding reckless spending and maintaining fiscal responsibility. FBR revenue growth is being driven increasingly through documentation and tax-base expansion rather than excessive taxation of existing taxpayers. The government’s 4% growth target signals a transition from economic stabilization to economic expansion, investment and employment generation. This budget sends a strong message to investors, international markets and the business community that Pakistan has moved from economic crisis management towards sustainable growth, stability and confidence.
