As China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) marks its 10th anniversary, Pakistan’s caretaker Prime Minister Anwar-ul-Haq Kakar sat down with CMG’s Wang Guan for an exclusive chat 🎙️. From lauding the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) to pushing back against Western narratives, here’s the scoop.
BRI’s 'Golden Era' for Pakistan
Kakar called the BRI a \"game-changer\" for Pakistan’s infrastructure and economy, highlighting how CPEC projects have boosted energy, transport, and tech collaboration. 💡 \"China’s modernization isn’t just about growth—it’s about confidence,\" he said, comparing the initiative to a \"Marvel-style team-up\" for global development.
Pushing Back Against 'Unnatural' Critics
When asked about the so-called \"China containment policy,\" Kakar didn’t hold back: \"It’s unnatural and counterproductive.\" He criticized outdated global financial systems (looking at you, Bretton Woods 🌍), calling them \"dogmatic\" and praising BRI’s inclusive approach.
Media Wars & Pakistan’s True Story
Kakar slammed Western media for painting Pakistan as a \"one-dimensional character.\" 🎭 \"They miss our resilience, culture, and progress,\" he argued, urging young people worldwide to seek out diverse narratives.
