Humayun Sultan (A Pakistani) | 8 years ago | Reply Mr. Salman: China is like a precious part of our body. These are our sentiments for China. I would say Pakistan & China are one. Although there are physical boundaries but in our Pakistani mind we are one or you can say two good brothers. People of Pakistan love People of China & So is visa versa. Comments against anyone are not acceptable for the people of both countries whether you cover you feelings with the name of democracy or any other term. Please say loudly PAK CHINA FRIENDSHIP/DOSTY ZINDABAD. Thank you.
