BEIJING: The Chinese print and electronic media has shown complete solidarity with Pakistan following the November 26 Nato-Isaf attack on Pakistan. Chinese media following the incident wrote and broadcast detailed analysis, editorials and programs in support of Pakistan and urged the international community to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country. The most significant article appeared in China’s most influential newspaper the People’s Daily titled “The Anti-terror War Should Also Follow the Rules”. The news analysis said that since 2004, US drones have killed more than a thousand people in Pakistan’s tribal areas, resulting in heavy civilian casualties and a sharp rise in anti-American sentiment among the people.

@Arindom: They are 100 times better than you. This is what world think about them. So divide yourself by hundred and you will get the Picture. Npw go ahead and waste your time and write about two chapters about your so called democracy. Who cares. Blah Blah Blah Blah!!! Common!! Go for it like your other trolls.
There is no such thing as a "Chinese Media" as we understand living in a Democracy. China has Communist Party Propaganda machines. Hope people reading are intelligent to understand the difference.
Only 'media' partially free may be the Internet which the Communist party is trying hard to muzzle too......and parts of which are already heavily censured... You can't even run a search on words like "Tiananmen", "Freedom for Xinkiang" , "Dalai Lama" , etc on Google in China - it will return "ERROR" - what Chinese media are you talking about??? LOL!
@R S JOHAR: a support is a support. and dont forget china has been involved in a big way in infrastructure development...what else do u want...they should send their army to combat ...it does not happen in international relations.and above all moral support is the best thing a friend can offer.
