Rafique Khan | 7 years ago | Reply I appreciate the name given by Chinese diplomats to Shahbaz Sharif. Shabaz Speed is good name given by the Chinese diplomats. The innocent Chinese are not aware about the speed money. The speed development work in Punjab has given ample opportunity to Sharif family to earn more money through their corruption.
