Zamir Ahmed Awan: China’s progress has lessons for Pakistan
The national flags of China and Pakistan. [Photo/IC] By Zamir Ahmed Awan, a senior fellow with Center for China and Globalization(CCG) Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan praised China’s rapid development in his maiden speech after winning the election held on July 25, 2018. He said he wanted to learn two things from China. One was Chinese experience of eradicating poverty. China pulled around 700 million people from poverty within past four decades. It is an unprecedented achievement in the history of humankind. Second thing Khan wants to learn is China’s success on controlling corruption. He admired the Chinese approach to fighting corruption that does not differentiate between tiger or fly. Nobody is above law, whether it’s high-profile official or common citizen both are treated equal in front of law. He has specifically constituted “China Unit” headed by one of his close aid Shahzad Waseem, who directly reports to him. The unit is powerful and in a position to take all necessary actions. The unit is to deal with all affairs related to China, including China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). He is scheduled to visit China early November on his first visit after taking charge of his office. However, he visited China in 2011 as chairman of his political party. Khan has said at a high-level meeting that strengthening the all-weather China-Pakistan strategic cooperative and all-dimension partnership is the cornerstone of Pakistan’s foreign policy. He emphasized early implementation of CPEC projects would help realize the true potential of China-Pakistan economic relations. He believes that CPEC is beneficial not only for the two countries but for the entire region. Khan said that CPEC is a great opportunity to learn from the Chinese experience, especially in social sector, agriculture and other areas. He said that the agricultural output of the country, considered as the backbone of economy, can be enhanced manifold by learning from Chinese expertise and employing latest technologies and efficient methods. Pakistan’s agriculture possesses a huge potential and should be exploited properly. He emphasized on the need to more focus on early establishment of special economic zones in various parts of the country which would help the local industry to grow through industrialization and would also create huge employment opportunities for the youth. Pakistan’s population comprises 70 percent youth under the age of 40. We should fully utilize out this strength in the nation’s socio-economic development. Khan said the flagship China-Pakistan Economic Corridor under the Belt and Road Initiative of President Xi Jinping offered opportunities to other countries to invest in CPEC projects and reap benefits in various sectors. It is expected that Saudi Arabia, UAE, Turkey, Kuwait and many other friendly countries may also invest in Pakistan. Our future lies with BRI and we must follow the Chinese approach of “win-win” and “globalization”. Pakistan is also an open-minded nation and wants to promote “peace, harmony and development” globally. Pakistan opens its doors to all nations, whoever wants our partner in peace, stability and prosperity.

Emanuel Pastreich: Can culture be used for consensus in NE Asia?
By Emanuel Pastreich, a non-resident senior researcher of CCG There have been multiple efforts to find common ground in Northeast Asia between China, South Korea and Japan over the last 20 years. For the most part, the focus has been placed on promoting trade, removing barriers to investment, and holding meetings between ministers, vice ministers, CEOs and technical experts. It is natural to think that the effort to promote integration and cooperation between the three countries should take place at the highest levels. The problem is that more often than not it is assumed that "highest" refers to highest rank. But might the term "highest" be used in a different sense? Could it be that we need a "high-level" discussion between China, South Korea and Japan not in the sense of institutional hierarchy, but rather in a cultural or philosophical sense? There have been moments like the signing of the Magna Carta, or the school of Confucius, that have been transformational and opened the doors to a new age of intellectual and cultural engagement. We don’t mean academic conferences that bring together scholars for presentations of specialized papers on culture, philosophy and history. Such activities have a value, but they are at a distance from government, from diplomacy and from the experiences of common people. China has a tremendous opportunity to affirm its commitment to internationalism, encourage closer cooperation in Northeast Asia and put forth an inspiring vision for what is possible going forward by starting a discourse between the three countries that is inspiring and that will set the groundwork for a mutual exploration of the potential locked in the three traditions. To do so requires seriousness in our discourse, in our writings and in our speech that has been lost over the last 40 years. First we must grasp our historical position. You can barely find anything that is traditional in the big cities of South Korea, China and Japan. Whether you are looking at clothing, or architecture, or fast food, or even value systems, superficial reflections of a commercialized West have taken over Northeast Asia. That process took two centuries. Ever since the Opium Wars showed the tremendous technological prowess of the West, the cultural discourse in Asia has permanently tilted toward the European tradition. But the Opium Wars were not won because of the superiority of Western culture, but rather because the West rapidly embraced a coal-based industrial society that brought with it tremendous advantages, but which has also completely dehumanized us by making technology the standard by which we judge people and progress. Now we see that fossil fuels are destroying the Earth and that the scholars of South Korea, China and Japan who refused industrialization and favored a sustainable agricultural-based economy were right and the Europeans were completely wrong. We need to start a discussion on the value of the traditional cultures of South Korea, China and Japan that involves not just history experts, but also scientists, policymakers, businessmen, and ordinary citizens. We can together consider how the philosophies of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism offer fresh approaches to living our lives, and suggesting new directions for innovation in governance, education, and the preservation of the environment. Identifying the best of the past discourse on government, on the economy, and on political ethics from the traditions of South Korea, China and Japan will offer us access to tremendous visions of what is possible in the future. Equally important is bringing South Koreans, Chinese and Japanese together to assess the potential of past cultures to avoid most ideological conflicts and emphasize common ground. The riches are tremendous. South Korea, China and Japan share thousands of years of sophisticated governance which was based on sustainable agriculture and which emphasized ethical rules. But the most important point is that we are not looking to Asia’s rich past for entertainment, we are looking for solutions to the overwhelming threats that we face today such as climate change, unsustainable development and the collapse of industrial society. The creative review of Asia’s common heritage at this critical historical moment could be a moment similar to the constitutional convention of 1787 in the US. Leading scholars and thoughtful political figures gathered to discuss how the best of Greek and Roman ideas about governance could be reinterpreted to form the basis for ethical government in the modern age. That constitutional convention, because of the profundity of the discussion and seriousness of the intentions, set the stage for a new conception of democracy which would inspire generations of activists to press for political reform in the French Revolution and thereafter. The efforts of Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson in drafting the US Constitution built on an earlier such effort: the European Renaissance of the 15th and 16th centuries, are noteworthy. Renaissance thinkers in Italy and France during the 15th century seized on the best of ancient Greece and Rome and creatively reinterpreted it as a means of injecting vitality into a moribund civilization. They found transformative power in that past culture that helped them push toward new horizons. Looking back was not nostalgia, but rather an opportunity for innovation. China can lead the way in promoting such a transformation of the civilization in Northeast Asia.
