Listen Pakistan!
Can you read the title above? If yes, try to understand it.
Pakistan’s friendship with China started on January 4, 1950, when Pakistan became the first Muslim nation to recognize the People’s Republic of China. Formal diplomatic relations were established on May 21, 1951.
China and Pakistan are close allies because of shared geopolitical goals and major economic projects. Pakistan recognized China early, and both nations built a partnership they call an “all-weather strategic cooperative partnership”. (Higher than Himalya, deeper that ocean and sweeter than honey) the rhetoric that I have been hearing since my childhood.
Pakistan progressed at snail speed. The critical example is CPEC: The China Pakistan Economic Corridor initiated from Kashgar in China’s Xinjiang region to the north and terminates at the Gwadar Port on the Arabian Sea in southwestern Pakistan to the south.
Proposed in May 2013, and launched on April 20, 2015, it has not yet reached Gwadar: a deep seaport which is also a part of China’s flagship Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) that can become one of the wounders of the world. It is currently in Phase II, focusing on business-to-business cooperation, industrial relocation, and Special Economic Zones (SEZs), following the completion of core early-harvest energy and transport infrastructure projects. Out of roughly 90 initially planned projects, about 38 have been finished in 11 years (we have no respect for our and other’s time).
We have created an impression that, Pakistan is an unreliable partner, where China will carry out anything only if Pakistan pay them back. For us, our mutual friendship with China is higher than Himalya (that’s why China’s vision has slipped from beneath our feet), it is sweeter than honey (which we could not digest) and it is deeper than ocean (having enough water to drowned dead).
China progressed at rocket speed and helped Pakistan at every stage. I first visited China in 1996 (as visitor to Chinese Academy of Agriculture Sciences) and see China progressing. I again visited China in 2007 and witnessed the progress significantly advanced than what I observed in 1996.
And now, just yesterday when I started this blog I decided to write on robotics and searched the internet and this is what I got on Aug 15, 2026
China’s AI robots are evolving fast, and the latest innovations show how serious the country has become about the future of robotics (I could only wish if we could adopt anyone of such characters?). From advanced humanoid robots to smarter AI systems, Chinese companies are pushing robots beyond simple demonstrations to real-world work. These new AI robots are being designed to understand instructions, interact with people, handle objects, move through complex environments, and complete tasks with less human control.
The biggest change is that China’s AI robots are now entering factories, stores, homes, pharmacies, and other workplaces. While improvements in AI are giving humanoid robots better reasoning, vision, movement, and decision-making abilities.
Shenzhen is widely recognized as the primary global and national hub for hardware and humanoid robotics innovation. China is also investing heavily in AI models, computing infrastructure, and new forms of intelligent hardware. These developments could help China build one of the largest AI and humanoid robot ecosystems in the world. Hold your breath and watch the video by placing the link in browser.
Shenzhen (Guangdong Province): the premier epicentre for high-end robotics where one can witness an abstract idea physically in a real and visible way and that is AI, and service/humanoid robots. Its Nanshan famous “Robot Valley” is packed with hundreds of advanced robotics firms and top-tier research institutions. (I wish I could visit that valley, but I am sceptical because even if I got a chance, I would find myself out of comprehension.
Shenzhen is China’s modern and the fastest-growing city which burst out from a small fishing village of roughly 30,000 people in 1980 into a massive global technology powerhouse and manufacturing metropolis with a population now exceeding 18 million. It is now home to giants like Huawei, Tencent (a multinational technology conglomerate and holding company of China. It is one of the highest earning multimedia companies in the world based on revenue) and DJI highlighting the widespread autonomous robot deliveries, driverless subways, and automated infrastructure.
Let me remind you dear Pakistan that in1980, our largest city “Karachi was known as Uroos-ul Bilad: An Arabic word means bride of the city (I still remember every nook and corner of that Karachi). Now Karachi is known as “Kachrachi” (den of garbage which I also witnessed in 2009 and since then stopped visiting Karachi). We used to have head office of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) now destroyed and privatized, and the gigantic steel mill (now destroyed and waiting for privatization). Thanks to democracy and political appointments (curse on both).
Have you ever realized Pakistan why has it happened?
As Stephen Covey: an American author, and leadership speaker once said,
That’s the core mistake you made dear Pakistan. You neither have any right wall nor the corrupt of the corrupts will let you build one to place the ladder. Better realize this.
Remember Pakistan! Nature doesn’t give second chance to corrupt, sick, disabled and liars, therefore, the one in hand is better than two in the bush.
کہاں ا کے ملنے تھے راستے
کہاں موڑ تھا اسے بھول جا
جو بھی مل گیا وہ سمیٹ لے
جو کھبی نہیں ملنا اسے بھول جا
امجد اسلام امجد سے معذرت کے ساتھ
See you again. Take care, Bye
