Vienna,November 26,2011 Kazmisbhai, your claim should be authenticated by the American selective targeting information on the AMERICAN SUNDI. They can target the SUNDI on Cuban, North Korean, Iranian and other what they consider hostile country crops and can be taken up on the forum of International Agricultural arm of the United Nations. Especially for this organization OPEC donates a great deal.So in the first place identify yourself to address the proper U.N.forum. Sad,journalist friend Khalid Hasan does not live any more. If he had lived he could have taken it up with OPEC as he had worked there for long. Taravadu Taranga Trust for Media Monitoring TTTMM India --Kulamarva Balakrishna
@numbersnumbers: Just believe me what I am saying. However if you are interested this open secret was disclosed in all science channels. If further interested search the Agricultural research journals om Biomedcentral.com (A research journals search Engine). China & Russia are afraid of this fact and this research were intentionally made public to make people realize what the actual position is. These parasite are thrown in frozen condition in the upper atmosphere from where they fall down and make way in the crops. Pakistani farmer are much familiar with AMERICAN SUNDI, in their crops. Every year a whole produce is lost in the farms either Banana, or Sugar cane or Cotton or Mangoes, one by one what to say when this may happen simultaneously. This year RCD meeting vividly discussed need for SEED Bank. Why?
"Pak-China relations not a threat to other nations: Kayani" None taken, I assure you. So, keep the love fest going, don't mind us!
It used to be said that three As (America, Army and Allah) rule Pakistan. Now it seems it is two As and one C. Which two As are still relevant? Make a guess.
Suffice it to say that Chinese Communists do not believe in God.
@Jameel: The problem is that Kashmir is the only card holding Pakistan together, since loss of East Pakistan !! In regards to the Muslim Breathen Card, well do you honestly think that anyone in power in Pakistan really cares??? Look what Gen Zia did for favours and funds from Saudis in 1980s he introduced Madrassas and Wahabism to the secular society that Pakistan use to be and the result is very clear for everyone to see in this day and age !! No economic progress, lack of basic education, being classed as failed state, soon to be defaulting nation too , lack of basic stability, law & order and many more in the list of problems !!!!
How come we support Kashmiri Muslim militants but work against Chinese Muslims militants? Are Chinese Muslims lesser Muslims than Kashmiri or other Muslims? Why are we supporting non-Muslim Chinese government against our Chinese Muslims brethren? What happened to the two nation theory in this case?
@Roflcopter:
This is for you kiddy,
Following Friday’s meeting between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on the sidelines of the ASEAN summit in Bali,
"There is no power in the world that can prevent the development of bilateral relations between the two countries,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Liu Weimin said at a briefing on Monday.

@Chill: Perhap you also need to remember 1971, when your lot not only lost half of the country but also ended up with over over 90,000 POW in Indian hands!!! I suppose they did not teach you this particular history !! By the way where were the chinese, when you needed them???? They were too busy chilling out !!!
From the photograph it doesn't look like friendship, rather it looks like Master-slave relationship. All you did is just switched from a richer master (USA) to a poorer master (China).
@Faizi: "teaches you to be gracious" - like setting off bombs everywhere?
@Kazmis: So ".(USA has already protected genetically their crops.)" against Bacteriological attacks& Parasite especially developed by USA, may spoil whole of India Pakistan and china’s grain stock as well as Seeds for further cultivation"!!! WOW, Please give us a source for this "revelation" so we can ALL read about it and decide for ourselves! OR is this just one more Pakistani conspiracy theory!
@Chill: "Kashmiris are not getting their rights..." Neither are Pakistanis. What do you suggest?
Chinese bosses treat Pakistani workers like crap. That's a fact!!! They are using Pakistan to be a coolie battalion against India. Just what long-term benefits has Pakistan received from China? Hell, even the Americans have provided more aid to Pakistan than China. Those who see China-Pakistan as a strategic and desirable relationship should note the untold persecution perpetrated on Xinjiang Muslims by the communist Chinese government.
China the only true friend left according to Pakistan. Does China reciprocate the same behaviour. I think not!
The two militaries should increase their cooperation because we have common enemies
True China Pakistan exercise are no threat to any other nation because very soon Red army will take over Pak army and Pakistan will be part of China. These Military exercises are to test the weakness and readiness of the Pak Army at the time of invasion.
@PoorPeace, Jealous from Pak-China friendship and trust me, the jealousy is rather obvious in your and your fellow indians comments.
Of course, this relatioship is not threat to others as this relationship is based on very little substance and history shows that in time of need the Chinese have never really delivered to Pakistan !!!! So who really care, as to what the COAS has to say about it !!!
@PoorPeace!: Two masters actually: US & China.
Is it that empty vassals make the most sound?
@Chill:
Yes, we remember and felt 1962. Both India and China have found that future is in mutual trade and not conflict, hence $70 Billon trade promising to reach over $100 Billion in coming year. Compare this to $4 Billion between Pakistan and China, 95% in favor of China.
Obliviously, this figure does not include Billions Pakistan paid to China to obtain your “indigenous” Ghauri missiles.
I have to admit that you are not so bad in passing/sold on the borrowed technology to rouge countries thanks to A Q KHAN. You should make him Pakistan Commerce/Trade minister.
Now about remembering past- Hope you remember, if not, try to recall, 1965, 1971 and Mush raff’s Kargil.
Wake up. World including India is moving forward and Pakistan is still sending their Elites on junkets to convince MFI. World Bank that your accounts are in order. I hope you remember MFI fined Pakistan Millions for submitting false figures.
Oh, just forgot- you “Bought” from your beloved China – I am sure you know what “bought” means- 150 Locomtive Engines for Pakistan Railway. 95% are in junk yards. This was told by Pak Railway and Pak Media.
Should I remind you that GSP+ that Pakistan is begging from EU for the past 3-4 years on the pretext of Floods is normally given to Least Econimal Nations i.e most poor nations?. Do you want to join in that league.
Wish you all the best.
@Roflcopter: Jealousy from what, Pakistan??? ROFL!!! You are funny.
@gaurav: ....and nobody cares about India other than some 4 or 5 billionaires...leaving 50 crore Indians in poverty....AFSPA is approved in nagaland, arunachal pradesh, kashmir , tripura, assam and manipur , so 30% of INDIA is basically under martial law , civil disorder for 60 years. 20000 Indian soldiers have died in Maoist controlled eastern India so I think your country should stop worrying about other countries issues and do something about your own conditions. Don't be a hypocrite my friend...INDIAN media's hypocritical attitude has made India arrogant and proud for no reason. Out of every 10 Indians 4 sleep without night meals....do something about them .....I respect Those Indians who are not hypocritical...every country in this region has grave problems its just our indifference towards those issues and useless scrutiny and criticism over other countries problems....GROW UP!
@Chill: @gaurav:
China-Pak friendship is nothing of worth. This is clear to Chinese and Pakistanis. USA is more powerful not only in Military might but also from Biological front. Bacteriological attacks& Parasite especially developed by USA, may spoil whole of India Pakistan and china's grain stock as well as Seeds for further cultivation. How the Indian and Chinese will feed their population which is in Billions. Technological poor nations are banking on some cheap missiles, people are busy in dancing an singing and corruption and depending on their Armies to fight a very powerful Alien Nation ready to destroy this globe.(USA has already protected genetically their crops.)
India-US relations should also not be taken a threat to other nations. Or India-Vietnam and India-US-Australia-Japan-South Korea relations for that matter are also not intended as a threat for any nation. India's increasing presence in the South China Sea will also promote regional peace.
In our relations with China we are Two Countries but One Nation and where as with India we are One Country and Two Nations. It makes me wonder who and what we really are?
@gaurav, "And thing for Pakistan is nobody cares about you" Yeah that's why indians flock to pakistani websites?
We sould have friendly relations with china,iran,Afghanistan,Russia,and Bharat etc. China is a reliable neighbor.
The picture says it all. Chinese General leaning back, siting in an authorative and commanding posture, trying to keep distance and Kayani bending forward and ready to fall on feet.
Every Memo has an equal and opposite reaction.
Is it intentional that all Crescent and Star flags, all of them in the picture, show a setting moon rather than a rising moon.
@chill...We remembers 1962 in big deal, we never forgets and never forgive. China knows that we have not forgetten anyhting and constantly improving our country from every side. But you wont understand how chinese and indians work. Go get some knowledge on ASHOKA and then ask chinese what happened. And in 1962 we let dalai lama to take shelter in INDIA, so what china attacked and got good out of it, we still have tibet to send shivers in china spine. And thing for Pakistan is nobody cares about you, just stop begging and work hard like bangladeshis oops East pakistanis, and get you house in Order so that no religious nut case can access your nuke as that will be catastrophic for whole region.
@PoorPeace, uffff! stinks like jealousy ;) but whatever helps you sleep at night.......
@ Dr Ghaznavi:
It seems your prescriptions are based on your own experience eg the time OBL was discovered in Abbottabad...... The only time you display your self esteem when the word china is prefixed to Pak.
Amd pls remind me of how much did China contribute towards the flood victims this year in pakistan?:)
@Atheist, India: Lets Shake Hands Don’t worry brother we are proud to be Muslims and proud to be a Pakistani. Our religion always teaches us to be gracious to non Muslims, so ur also welcome !!! _____ !!!
@Roflcopter: I don't know whether I should pity your ignorance or laugh at your needless rants. Please suggest.
A master and vassal relationship is called friendship. Huh?
Indies can't do anything other than mourning. has Pakistan ever protested over delivery of weapons to India by other countries or after missile tests? if they claim they r a superrr power, they got to behave like a superpower, not like a historically poor country. so, ashok and Mirza, pls talk like a sane human not 1990s Indian generation, which was victim of poverty and malnutrition.
How can such a passionately religious country be friends with a country of non believers?? ;) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stateatheism#ThePeople.27sRepublicof_China
South west province of china isn't a threat to anyone. Beijing is planning to connect its warm water port (Gwadar) in southern china to other provinces like Tibet. Chinese provinces like Punjab are appreciating the capital's(Beijing) initiative.
Thanks General - everybody knows that you are the decision maker and your words can give some guarantee.
Forever will live PAK-CHINA friendship.
Vienna,November 24,2011 I do hope to get Nishan-e-Imtiaz (media-civilian) from the President´s exclusive palace. I am sure the editor will certify I am not threat to any one anywhere in this world just because I comment here. Taravadu Taranga Trust for Media Monitoring TTTMM India --Kulamarva Balakrishna
@ Ashok
Since Kashmiris are not getting their rights, they are contemplating inviting China to to capture Indian Occupied Kashmir - and let China deal with you on equal terms. Pakistan will just clap from the sidelines :-)
Remember 1962 war, when Indian army ran with its tail between its legs??
You guys are no match for China, not economically, not socially and not militarily.
Friends in need....(of each others friendship).....
Well said General Kayani. PLA Deputy Chief General Hou Shusen deserves the Nishan-I-Imtiaz for the long lasting and time tested friendship between botth armed forces.
China being our neighbor and having a contiguous border with us has always wished and helped us well. As mentioned before, If China sneezes, Pakistan should run poste haste to its medical aid. But if the US catches swineflu, telephone them and ask how they are feeling. That's the importance Pakistan should attach to its relations with China. Salams
China has military exercises with Nato members --- no big deal.
So are the Indo-Afghan relations...
BUT Indians will still have sleepless nights due to their unending obsession with both Pakistan & China - I recommend prozac for the hateful Indian trolls :-)
General, thanks for you kind assurance, Indian army chief will be greatly relieved and so are all Indians.
This kind of honours and ceremony are not enough, Pakistan should gift another part of POK to maintain these strategic relations, which are higher than Himalayas.
Makes indians cry nonetheless
Pak-China friendship forever ...
