Foreign companies face lots of unseen & unmentioned and undocumented hurdles in China. China is a great friend of Pakistan but it doesn’t mean for us to turn a blind eye towards the difficulty of doing business in China and the protectionist style.
It is funny when China makes it difficult for other countries’ companies to do business in China, it is considered a valiant act of patriotism and national pride, an example to be followed by all other Asian/African/South American nations. – but when it is the Western countries who try to safeguard their local industry, suddenly all the ‘little pinks Chinese chinks’ (it is a slightly derogatory term so don’t use it in social settings, just an indication to you about the current lexicon) bots and real persons too are aggressively posting in the social media about how the Europeans/North Americans do not practice what they preach about free market mechanism.

The double standards are high when it comes to public perception about the West and this is why terminology like “reverse racism” is quickly rising in the social discourse.

Where opinion can Pakistan have about it: The military friendship of Pakistan with both France and China goes a long way. Superficially the Pakistani public is always protesting in front of the Press Club about the wrong treatment of Uyghurs in China and also holds grudge against France for its pro-stance about blasphemous caricatures, but deeply France has historically been the main supplier of Pakistani military whether it be Agosta submarines, Mirage fighter planes or heavy water for the nuclear power generation. Pakistani airlines whether private whether government have also since long shifted from Boeing to Airbus because the US cannot be trusted, despite claiming to be the best ally and spending billions in USAID to Pakistan, USA always randomly applies economic sanctions on Pakistan.
China has also been the main supporter of Pakistan in the South Asian subregion plus in the international scenario i.e the UNO and other conferences. Needless to say that China has achieved this status not without the help of Pakistan in terms of diplomacy – whether it be taking Zhou Enlai to the Bandung Conference or whether it be facilitating the secret visits of Henry Kissinger to Beijing.
