@cynical: thanks for your comment! Actually we are really strong in Islamic education & many student from around the world come to Pakistan! We have lots of teachers who are paid pittance (sometimes just food & shelter) by madrassas. We can send them to china & convert these godless people to Islam. We can also support our Minority brothers in china in the Xinjiang & other provinces!
@Indian:
If done properly, that would be a huge hit.
I know what will they come up with.They will set up some Confucious centers and Mandarin centers in universities as they are doing same through out world to promote their culture.haha..
I will want as first priority Pakistan to follow China in its industrial development. That one single step will bring prosperity to Pakistan. Please leave your hate policies of your neighbours and become a peaceful industrial giant.
So you want the Chinese to pay for a University? In case you haven't noticed the Chinese are not that generous with donations -- and the Chinese wouldn't want to come to Pakistan for education and have never solicited Pakistani's to come to their country. If you want to sit in a classroom with Chinese and listen to Professors speaking English you can always go to America or the UK.
@Akhtar Good idea! We can teach the godless communists a thing or two about religion,bring them out of darkness and lead them to the path of enlightenment.
Great.......... China progressed so well in science and economy that we must try to get benefits of it. Thereb is lot of interest in west for chinese language and we should try to learn it.
Thats very good :)
What about India, why can't there be an India-Pakistan University which would benefit people of both countries mutually?
Increase the educational ties more. Introduce more Chinese Language learning centers in all major cities and likewise open up Urdu learning centers in Chinese Universities
That's wonderful! We should also fund & setup Islamic education / university / Madrassas in china.
