CPEC and US

Published February 6, 2020

THIS refers to baseless allegations by the US on China Pakistan Economic Corridor and its transparency. The American administration has come closer to Pakistan and I smell a rat.

American friendship has not been reliable for Pakistan. It has proved a fair weather friend, for it leaves us in the lurch after achieving its goals.

Pakistan was used during the Pervez Musharraf government in the so-called war on terror. Later, Pakistan was blamed for supporting terrorists and Pakistani citizens suffered a lot.

Pakistan should not accept any American deal at the cost of our all-weather friend, China.
