The United States encouraged non-democratic forces in Pakistan so that it could get its decisions implemented without any hindrance. Pakistan remained under serious threat from a very intimidating and hostile neighbour which did not let it focus on the economic front. External forces never let meritocracy develop in Pakistan. China has friendly relations with two of its neighbours, one of them being Pakistan with extremely robust economic, social and trade benefits. All we need as Pakistanis is to believe that Pakistan will never let us down.
