Industrial revolution
of 1700s did not only introduce new Political and Economic dynamics which
impaired and eventually replaced old depraved Economic and Political system but
it also gave birth to two Political and Economic systems, Capitalism and
Communism, which had and continues to have profound impact on world of Politics
and Economics.
The developments in
economic, political, social and military arena as a result of Industrial
revolution paved way for the development of the idea to use economic instrument
for political and social objectives.
USSR was the first to
use economic tool for the achievement of Political, Social and Economic objectives
under the Political-Economic strategy of GOSPLAN, followed by USA, under
President Roosevelt, during the Great Depression.
China under new policy,
which was well described by Deng Xiaoping “It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, so long as it
catches mice”, in 1980s made paradigm shift from communist political-economic outlook
and introduced state controlled capitalism.
The Economic expansion
and alteration devised strong and lasting changes in Social, Political and
Economic realm of China.
Gwader port,
economically and militarily strategically located, holds the key of Pakistan’s
Economic-Political resuscitation with its profound effect on Pakistan’s social
fabric.
The handing over of
Gwader port to China, Industrially and militarily established state, will help
in the development of Gwader as an industrial hub with US 10 Billion dollar
investment, addressing the issues of educated-job-less class, helping
industrial sector, contributing significantly to the collapsing economy.
Industrial Gwader will
also help in watering down the resentment of local Baluch population by
offering economic freedom and improved social overhead. The development of such
nature will impair prevailing anti-state political notion and eventually pave
way for political settlement of Baluchistan issue.
The energy corridor
from Gwader port (Arabian Sea) to North-Western China (Xinjiang)
will not only feed the energy needs of China but it will also have multiplier
effect on Pakistan’s economy by giving birth to infrastructure and Industry
from the shores of the Arabian Sea to the extreme North of Pakistan, giving
much needed relief to the impaired and stunned economy of Pakistan.
A National Government of Consensus in Afghanistan,
backed by USA, Afghan ethnic groups, Pakistan and regional players, can provide
Pakistan an access to the Asia Minor and energy hungry state of Russia, giving
birth to “Twin energy Corridors”, ensuring strong economy of Pakistan and will
help in the establishment of expanded economic ties with the neighbours and
beyond.
Gwader as a military port will not only provide second
naval base to Pakistan Navy, allaying the naval threat posed by sizable Indian
navy, but also with the help of China it will halt the Indian Navy’s hydro-graphic activities in Indian Ocean.
Gwader as a military port, on the mouth of Strait of
Hormuz with Chinese-Pakistani military presence, will further solidify Pakistan’s
strategic importance and impair Indian hegemony on Indian Ocean, auxiliary
darkening Indian nightmare of Chinese String of Pearls.
