India’s aid offer to Pakistan (II)

China has donated $1.5 million while India, our ‘enemy’ has offered more than three times that amount.

ONTARIO, CANADA: China has donated $1.5 million while India, our ‘enemy’ (unlike China which is our ‘best friend’) has offered more than three times that amount. Our nation should understand that while China is a good friend they have done nothing for Pakistan except flood our markets with subsidised goods and in the process ruined our domestic industry, especially companies that make ceramics, toys, shoes and garments. While the US may be “evil” they are the biggest buyers of Pakistani exports and have donated a hefty amount – in fact they have given the most so far. China in fact has a massive trade surplus with Pakistan.
