Was such a pleasure and insightful experience representing Munich and the @ifo_Institut at this year’s Canadian Economics Research Group Conference #CPEG. Many thanks to @AdamLavecchia for the invitation.
This was a PPP project that was scuttled by the same Establishment that oversaw the rise & disastrous instalment of Imran Khan. IK went on to scuttle #CPEG as well but Boutique Leftiyas are misrepresenting him as “anti establishment”. Given the brier deal re Iran JCPOA, this pipeline could have been completed in the 2010s yielding huge energy cost savings for Pakistan. But then we would not have had the subsequent expensive Qatar LNG deals

While the Chinese publicly credit Pres #AAZ for #CPEG,PMLN’s Social media accts give the credit to MNS. Who started the problems in CPEG by diverting projects away from Sindh, Balochistan, KP & GB & by badly negotiating a Barter Agreement into a $65 Bn loan @BBhuttoZardari
آنے والے کل کو لیکر بہت سے سوال ہیں
کون , کب ,کیوں کیسے؟
پریشان اور مایوس کیوں ہے؟
سب جانتے ہو , ملک میں ترقی کون لایا تھا , دہشتگردی کس نے ختم کی تھی؟
سی پیک کون لایا تھا , ملک و قوم کا وقار کس نے بلند کیا تھا؟
آئیں پھر سے وہ دن لائیں
بہتر کل , بنائیں مل کر
Typical show where the anchor & the guests are allowed to continuously & rudely interrupt the PPP rep @SyedaShehlaRaza. PMLN needs to understand that lying, by trying to take credit for PPP’s achievements such as #CPEG, will be called out.
تھوڑا سا تمیز میں آجائیں اب آپPTIسے نکل کر "ن لیگ" میں آگئی ہیں۔پیپلزپارٹی نے ایران پائپ لائن بِچھادی تھیں آپ اس قت جس پارٹیPMLNمیں ہیں اُس وقت انہونےآکر کام روک دیاتھا

Excellent thread that needs to be read along with that of Professor Allison (Harvard) to unpack anti-Sino xenophobia. #PPP & it’s leaders like SZAB, SMBB, @AAliZardari & @BBhuttoZardari are the leaders who understood this. #CPEG was President AAZ’s vision to get 🇵🇰into #BRI
Very important thread by Graham Allison - the legendary Harvard professor who coined the "Thucydides trap" - where he lambasts "the current demonization of China".
He says he is "convinced that the current demonization of China confuses more than it clarifies" because the result is that "Americans [do not] understand our competitor as it is".
He gives as an illustration of this demonization effort the recent utterly ridiculous - and anonymous! - Politico piece (https://t.co/QRi9CsTPR0) that claims that "China’s Xi goes full Stalin with purge", which is filled with demonstrable falsehoods and fear-mongering fabulations (some of which Allison lists in his thread).
I've myself written on this very topic dozens of times: there is an absolutely IMMENSE gap between the China depicted in the media and the reality, so much so that most people outside China have almost zero understanding of the country. The China they have in their mind is a mirage that bears almost no ressemblance to reality.
Why? Why do we systematically see coverage like this Politico piece on China? Why here on Twitter are accounts like @songpinganq, @WallStreetSilv or @jenniferzeng97 that systematically peddle fake news on China so popular? Or Serpentza and Laowhy86 on Youtube?
I think a lot of it has to do with human nature, we kind of need a "bad place" to feel reassured we live in the "good place". So we're naturally attracted to stories that confirm this. And given the fact that China is so unknown to people to begin with, they have no intellectual baggage that enables them to understand they're fed nonsense. And if you add racism bias on top of it - the infamous "yellow peril" - it makes it even easier for people to believe the wildest stuff.
Also, it has to be said, there's a whole industry out there of people paid to write negative stuff on China. You have your anti-communist organizations (like the "Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation"), your think tanks funded by the US State Department and the weapons industry (like ASPI), your various separatist and dissident movements funded by Washington to try to destabilize China, your "human rights" organizations that have been so weaponized they actually harm human rights, and so on and so forth. And all their content - each for their own purpose - participates to this great demonization effort.
But I think it's also much deeper than this. For literally thousands of years proselytism - the notion that we have such superior values and beliefs that we need to convert others to them - has been foundational to our culture. We're programmed to absolutely loath difference, so much so that we need to erase it. We're led to believe we "celebrate difference" but we only celebrate the very artificial differences within our societies, differences between people who essentially buy into common beliefs and values. As soon as we encounter actual meaningful difference - which in the case of China is extremely profound - we find it absolutely intolerable.
Which by the way is quite unique to our culture: to my knowledge, no culture in Asia thinks this way for instance. In fact the very notion that a foreigner could be converted to become Chinese, Japanese, or Vietnamese is not even comprehensible in these countries. To them foreigners aren't inferior or superior, but they're different, and that's ok... there's no need to go around the world to try and convert them to adopt "socialism with Chinese characteristics" or start celebrating the Moon festival. To us it's very much not ok: if someone doesn't buy into whatever our set of beliefs and values is at a given time (it used to be Christianism, now it's liberalism) they ARE inferior, deemed "oppressed" and in need of "liberation"...
All this didn't harm us much when we were superior technologically and economically because we could afford to not understand others. In fact it was even helpful: it provided an ideological basis for our subjugation of the rest of the world. We didn't do it to exploit them for our selfish interests or to appropriate their resources but to "liberate" them...
But today, as Allison rightly points out, this kind of thinking actively harms the West. We cannot anymore subjugate countries like China, they've become our peers in all respects: technologically, economically, militarily, etc. So to coexist and compete it is now vital that we "understand them as they are" to take Allison's formulation. Because they certainly do: hundreds of thousands of Chinese students have gone to study in the West every year for decades whereas the US estimates there are currently only 211 American students in China (https://t.co/uvOl7CMiDh), which is insane! This places China at an immense competitive advantage: they understand the West intimately whereas we don't understand China, at all.
Very concretely it means that whenever we make a decision that relates to China, our decision is likely to be completely inappropriate because informed by a miraged notion of China and made by people who just don't get the country. Examples abound: the recent semiconductors sanctions is a good one. Made for the purpose of stifling China's technological development it has resulted in giving it an unprecedented boost.
This transition to humbleness, accepting others and their difference, stop vilifying and demonizing them but instead seek to understand them will be exceedingly hard. Frankly, I think that it's all so deeply rooted that we're incapable of it. But it is nonetheless absolutely vital, because if we persevere we will isolate and eventually destroy ourselves.
@NawazSharifMNS supported by his media minions like @AzazSyed @Matiullahjan919 etc., claims that he knew that coal was present in #Thar. Yet he misused #CPEG to import Coal for his own expensive vanity projects in Punjab. At least #PMLN should come up with more believable lies

Interesting read. CPEC expansion is stagnant due to the slowdown IK caused during his tenure and how his foreign policy isolated Pakistan. Only PPP's approach is needed to strengthen economic ties between China Pak!

@AAliZardari sahib’s vision for #CPEG was based on a Barter Agreements, Public Private Partnerships, utilisation & training of Pakistani labour & development of vital infrastructure in Sindh, Baluchistan & GB - like the revitalisation of Karachi Circular Railway
In 2008, when @PPP_Org formed its gov in the federation, conditions in country did not seem to improve, because bomb blasts and terrorism had sunk the ship of the economy. Then president @AAliZardari decided to something great for 🇵🇰 and he gave #CPEC.
#ThanksAAZforCPEC 🙌🇱🇾

2/2 who derailed #CPEG & betrayed 🇨🇳 by divulging confidential Sovereign terms to others. Valid, honest & Civilised Critique is always welcome against our Institutions, politicians, media etc. but PTI is Undermining 🇵🇰 on the 🌎 stage
#CPEG aims to connect palaeontologists and ecologists to build and co-develop concepts, theory, and analytical approaches.
Join the discussion on the role of temporal and spatial scales, detecting ecological patterns, and more

This PTI propagandist is blatantly lying. IK literally abandoned the Kashmir issue & China publicly rebuked his regime for derailing #CPEG. He has also repeated Western propaganda against Syria @Ayeshasolangi7 @Hassanshah7214 @MuqaddasRz @Meer_PPP_
This is a Pakistani journalist falling for Indian propaganda. India hated/feared Imran Khan because of his efforts to internationalize Kashmir and strengthen Pak relationship with China.
