The question is can Pakistan benefit from Chinese
experience. Answer is a big YES. China transformed then philosophy of Marxism
into the ideology of Communism which further changed to embrace the blessings
of capitalistic system. It was a Godless system of statecraft. It was an
anti-religious religion that provided solid base to work upon by a leader of
solid worth. China was doubly fortunate to have Mo Zedong to give the ideology
a practical shape and his follower Deng Xiaoping who proved to be a worthy
successor who led China into 2ls century with essential economic reforms.
We have observed that there are two pre-requisites
without which Pakistan cannot hope to step into Chinese shoes. The first one is
the existence of an ideological base. Pakistan is in possession of a
God-blessed ideology of Islamic Welfare State based upon the message of Quran
and Sunnah, which is much more powerful than Communism. It is so because
communism caters for man’s material requirements to the absolute neglect of his
spiritual needs without which human life remains dry and unbalanced.
It is, however, the second requisite where Pakistan
finds itself standing in a blind alley. The nation needs the emergence of a man
of destiny to rally around himself the entire population as a symbol of
unquestionable unity during his lifetime. Hs should continue live in their
hearts long after his death. Quoting China’s example, meet anyone in Beijing,
the only name that is unanimously accepted as the promoter of the miraculous
economic progress of the country is Deng Xiaoping. Go anywhere in China, you
will not find people wearing Mao’s traditional dress but that matters little.
He lies enshrined in the heart of Modern China. That is what makes all the
difference. After the early death of the Quaid-e-Azam, Pakistan is spending its
days in an orphanage being supervised by the callous, greedy, power-hungry,
fascistic and dictatorial feudal lord.
