professor iqbal | 7 years ago | Reply Despite all the ups and downs in US-Pak relations no country comes close to how much US has done for Paksitan. Just imagine Trump imposes tariffs on Pakistani imports then what will happen. China is anyway not buying Pakistani products who else will buy. Pakistan has to "Do More" thinking about US-Pak relationship before getting too close to China. I personally think China will completely immerse Pakistan in debts buy lending more and more and finally when the time is ripe will just take over Pakistan.China has close to 3 Trillion dollars in forex reserves and they think they can throw 100 billion dollars to get Pakistan. Not a bad deal for them.
