Pak-China Nuclear Deal

Haris · October 19, 2006, 9:16am

Pakistan hasn’t sat in peace ever since the Indo-US nuclear deal was declared. President Musharraf has clearly told the world about Pakistan’s energy needs and said he’d keep looking for alternatives. Apparently during his last visit to China, this was top agenda, and the Chinese seemed interested. A deal will be finalized when Hu Jin Tao visits next month.

If this comes about this will be a major foreign policy achievment by President Musharraf for Pakistan, as it will establish ever closer relations between us and China.

I think having the ability to buy 6-12 nuclear power plants shows the economy has finally prospered. I mean, they must have that much capita for such a giant project.

You are comparing apples with oranges… China is numbers and more numbers… per capita it lags far behind western economies.
