If it's not Pakistan that is doing these things, is it India?

Help?

"Actually, you have to look at this matter from a different perspective. Even in the current situation between India and Pakistan, you have to look at it from a different perspective. ”

"What angle?" Wang Dong asked directly.

Yunlong smiled faintly before saying: "Back then, after the border confrontation, India has actually been going downhill, especially the domestic economy. In that year alone, India's economic growth slowed by four percentage points, and it has not improved for several years since. In contrast, Pakistan's economic growth rate has remained high. Although it is not as glamorous as India, and it has not received much attention, after all, Pakistan is too weak compared to India, but Pakistan's development is real, and it is fundamentally changing. If this trend continues, I am afraid that it will not be long before India will be left far behind by Pakistan. ”

"That would be decades later."

"What do you think?"

"Just education, Pakistan needs at least twenty, even thirty years."

"Yes, the question is, do we need to wait until education is in place to industrialization? You know, Pakistan is a large country with a population of more than 300 million. Of course, from our point of view, 300 million people may not be a lot, after all, we had 400 million people when we founded the country, and now there are more than 1 billion people. It's just that if you think that 300 million people is not enough, then you are wrong, and it is very wrong. ”

Wang Dong frowned and did not answer.

"Let's put it this way, how many people were there in the United States during World War II? It's just over 100 million, less than 200 million. It is with this that the United States has become the world's factory, supplying weapons and equipment to almost all its allies. Today, Pakistan's population is almost twice that of the United States at the time. ”

"It can't be compared."

"Of course, it really can't be compared. I just want to tell you that there are too many people in Pakistan, and it is impossible for so many people to become qualified workers at the same time, after all, education itself goes hand in hand with economic development. In the short term, there is no need to make the education problem too serious. ”

"What do you mean?"

"First of all, Pakistan is completely dependent on us for economic development, or rather, it is copying our model and moving towards industrialization step by step. Second, Pakistan's economic development is to a large extent determined by us, to be precise, by our industrial restructuring. Finally, Pakistan's immediate priority is to increase the level of industrialization, not to say that it wants to be ambitious. Yunlong paused slightly, and then said, "Starting from these three points, Pakistan must definitely start with labor-intensive light industry. In fact, this is also the only option, that is, the first thing we eliminate is actually these low-end industries with low production efficiency. ”

Wang Dong nodded, indicating that he understood what Yunlong meant.

"Obviously, in this regard, there is not a lot of cutting-edge talent, what is needed is labor, to be precise, labor with basic labor skills. From the point of view of education, it is actually to eradicate illiteracy, so that workers have a certain level of education, and after receiving training, they can engage in simple work. There is no doubt that with Pakistan's huge population base, it will certainly not be difficult to gather millions or tens of millions of literate laborers. ”

"And then?"

"With the foundation of light industry, with primitive accumulation, Pakistan will develop a relatively complex manufacturing industry. Of course, that's at least a decade away. In fact, from an economic point of view, as long as Pakistan can develop light industry well, it is inevitable that it will surpass India within ten years. Let's put it this way, Pakistan is well positioned to become the most powerful industrial nation in South Asia within a decade. ”

Wang Dong's brows jumped a few times, this is the key.

"What about India? It's a pity that even if there are another ten years, it may not be able to reach the level of Pakistan. It's not that I underestimate India, but in the case of deviating from the general trend of the times, if India still clings to the position of competing with us, it will not want to develop rapidly. ”

"We?"

Yunlong nodded and said, "India has always regarded us as its biggest enemy, but it doesn't care much about Pakistan. After all, the national power is there, and Pakistan has not posed a threat to India for decades, but we have made India taste defeat. Because India regards us as a threat and an enemy, it has basically tilted toward the United States and Japan in its foreign policy, pinning its hopes for national development on the United States and Japan, hoping to get help from the United States and Japan. The question now is, what kind of help can the United States and Japan provide, or can they help? ”

Wang Dong thought seriously about Yunlong's words.

"Apparently, the Indians are clearly daydreaming. Why? As early as a few decades ago, the United States and Japan abandoned their low-end industries, and we were the ones who took over. In order to maintain their hegemonic position and maintain high incomes, the United States and Japan now have basically high-end industries. Is it possible for the United States and Japan to transfer high-end industries to India? Even if the United States and Japan are willing to do it, India will not be able to take over. The United States and Japan do not have low-end industries, so what can be used to help India develop? What's more, the global demand for low-end industries is so large, we already have a part, Pakistan has a part, other developing countries have a part, and how much of the market is allocated to India? By the purchasing power of Indians? Obviously, that's even more unlikely. ”

"According to what you say, India should pay more attention to development."

"Yes, India should be development-oriented, but India's leaders have to first change their mindset and proactively change their relationship with us. It is a pity that at the political level, this is almost impossible, i.e. no Indian leader dares to take such a step. ”

Wang Dong was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"It can be said that the current situation, which looks very complicated, is actually very simple. Why is it simple? Because India is at the end of its rope. India has always considered itself a democracy as its greatest strength, and has never taken Pakistan into account. In a few years' time, when Pakistan emerges as an industrial country, the first thing India will have to think about is not us, but Pakistan. ”

"So, India is going to make trouble at this time?"

"India is not the only one that wants to make trouble."

Obviously, Yunlong's words are the point.
