Now really see what China does as this author says, but wait isn't China facing a problem in HK....
The focus has really changed in geo-political stance and Pakistan is being faced with the problem of being by itself now.... What is Pakistan next move to be in Global community. Either they join the radicals like ISIS or be in mix of economic development, which every country in the world faces.
Economy has never been forte of Pakistan establishment, so latter plays higher role in the future.. My personal Opinion.
