Pakistan seems to have forgotten the law of holes.

"China said on Thursday that its relationship with Pakistan stood the test of the changing international landscape and remained 'firm as a rock' as the all-weather allies celebrated the 69th year of the establishment of their diplomatic relations." "China has far surpassed the US as the biggest weapons supplier to Pakistan and the partnership is expected to increase in the coming years -- last year Beijing officially declared its largest defence export deal worth over $4 billion to supply eight new submarines to Pakistan that will augment its fleet of French origin boats." "Last week, China once again called Pakistan its 'iron brother' to symbolise the close relationship between the two nations." Must be pretty uncomfortable to be between a rock and an iron place with China. "A recently concluded probe conducted by the Imran Khan government into the anomalies of China-Pakistan-Economic-Corridor has revealed that six China-funded power projects under CPEC has resulted in huge profits for Chinese firms setting up the plants through over invoicing and tariff charges compared to market rates." "A new formation is emerging in the Islamic World and OIC as Pakistan in a selfish move has decided to get further closer to Turkey and widen ties with Malaysia at the cost of its old ties with Saudi Arabia and UAE -- who had bankrolled Islamabad for decades." Pakistan's obsession with military equality with India is costing it very dear. "Pakistan, alive on steroids supplied by China, is making claims as it has failed to push its false Kashmir propaganda with its Army facing humiliation in the backdrop of India's decision to change special status of Article 370," wrote Dipanjan Roy Chaudhury. "There are reports that ISI is busy recruiting terrorists on the ground to increase terrorism activities in Jammu and  Kashmir's Poonch-Rajouri belt." Inflation in Pakistan rose to 14.6% in January, the highest in 12 years. In response the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) raised interest rate to 13.25%, but slashed it to 5.25% in May when inflation fell to 8.2% because of collapse in demand due to the coronavirus lockdown. "The state shrivelled internally as it fought the international war. The power of the madrasa arose from the countryside and invaded the big cities." wrote Khaled Ahmed. "The police and the lawyer community originate from the countryside and are heavily indoctrinated in the madrasa culture and its pedophilia." "Pakistan is in deep economic trouble and is in the IMF's care, inflicting pain on the common man through policies of austerity." "Most economists think that 2020 will be the year of punishment rather than recuperation." Strangely, "Pakistanis get radicalised after migrating to the UK," wrote Ahmed. "Al-Muhajiroun had come to Pakistan along with its British-based sister terrorist organisation, Hizb Ut-Tahrir, in the mid-2000s, and recruited a number of people inside the Pakistan army till the Musharraf government banned them." Pakistan is in a deep hole, but can't stop digging. It will bury itself.
