Good intiative... No need to learn indian panjabi language.. we will learn chinese.
Pakistan is the point man for China and I love it because China is the world's number one, fast forward to 2030!
So PAK people have mastered their cultural heritage and history now they want to explore the China's cultural heritage and learn Mandarin.
That's a good initiative. The truest of friends, our relationship with China should be taken to new heights by the young generation. Send our students there and bring Chinese students to learn about.
