Modern China: The Specter of China is haunting

Modern China

 The Specter of China is haunting

From 2^nd half of 20^th century China is moving slowly but steadily.  In 1980s it emerged like menace but in the first decade of 21^st century specter of china is haunting old powers.  Chinese knew very well how Britain defeated rising powers of France and Germany in 19^th and 20^th centuries smartly by indulging both countries in wars. So Chinese adopted policy of engagement and avoided wars. USA entered in 21^st century through 9/11 but China entered in 21^st century through Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).  Now Chinese are moving towards south Asia, central Asia, Middle East and Africa on the one hand and inviting Europe and USA in her lands. Revival of silk route economic corridor is on cards and Pakistan is linked with this policy via Silk Road (started construction in 1966 and ends in early 1980s) and Gwadar port project.  Pakistan is paying the price of pak china relations and the worst was its breakage in 1971, just after 5 years of signing Silk Road agreement. H.S. Shurawardy, Z. A.Bhutto till Nawaz Sharief civilian rulers played an important role yet during all 4 marshallas republicans tried to shift Sino-American balance in favor of US in republican ways. Ayub, Yahya, Zia and Mushraf were their favorites which damaged US image too. But Pakistani State never compromise on Chinese friendship. So they started playing with ethnic, linguistic and sectarian issues. In this process many regional and neighboring countries are involve partly due to their own interests and partly due to big powers. Recent Dhrna politics may be an addition in strategy but parliament played her role wisely which is very rare in Pakistani history. Complex and anarchic situations in Ukraine, Hong Kong and Pakistan are part of  a common agenda but it will not change Chinese position regarding engagement. 

Modern China is ready to face odds but its policy of engagement always help it in resolving tricky issues too. Here are some photographs which show you a changed China.
