Gilani’s Beijing visit to herald ‘Look China’ era

By: Salim Bokhari | Published: May 16, 2011

LAHORE - Pakistan and China would be entering a historic phase of bilateral relations when the leaderships of both the countries would meet in Beijing to restructure their mutual bonds that have withstood all the tests of time.

The new chapter is being added to further cement existing excellent ties, the focus of which would be to ensure mutual defence against all forms of foreign aggression.

This may be remembered that bilateral relations between Islamabad and Beijing have had many peaks but no troughs, and have attained new heights in many areas.

To ink solidification of ties, besides several agreements, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani would embark on a journey to the Chinese capital on May 17 (Tuesday) to apprise Beijing’s top leadership of his country’s experience and lessons learnt from America’s deep penetration inside Pakistani territory to kill Osama bin Laden, the secret operation that has made Pakistan vulnerable to such adventures in the future.

The military top brass and defence think tanks of both the countries have been in close contact since the incident of May 2 and have been working out a joint defence mechanism. A military delegation would also visit Beijing soon to brainstorm future strategy to deal with a repeat of such an eventuality. A Chinese military delegation has recently concluded a visit to Islamabad.

What stitches Pakistan and China together is the fact that they have two common enemies, the

Chinese J-10 fighter; Pakistan may buy up to 150 of these.

If the Chinamen build the J-10 with the same level of craftsmanship that they build all their other products, the jets should fully fall apart on it’s third flight.

Look China? Is this a new fad in yellow skin and almond eyes?

BRAND NAME, and BRAND NEW! Can’t fail, right?

WRONG!

Metaphor: Mr. Toyoda was taken down and man handled because he was too good in what he does — way too good!

Honestly, I am a happy camper of my 2000 Sienna since 2000. This love of my life is still like new and still going as strong as when it left the showroom. That’s ten years and counting.

I mean how can Chrysler, Ford, GM, VW, even BM, hope to compete when one brand needs a brand new transmission two years after it rolls off of the assembly line; another with a front end that’s prone to fire; another won’t start; the forth spends more time in the shop than it is on the road; and the fifth was said to have had a no questions asked buy back program only to have their goods go through scrap metal press rather than to give the brand name a bad wrap compete?

Anyway those are the 70’s and 80’s. The 90’s and onwards ain’t that cool either...

However, that doesn’t mean that I hated the 68 Buick Skylark I had for years; the ‘64 Chevy Biscayne I had previous to that; or the ‘74 Maverick I uses to own...

All it means is that I won’t pick up anything that’s current from Detroit again until and unless they built them like they did my Skylark, my Chevy, and my Maverick.

It’s call logical sense.
