The Chinese language classes started eight years ago in Pakistan schools, and the newly launched one is the second phase of such classes for businessmen, academics, and intellectuals.
Launching a publication on “CPEC: Facts versus Fiction”, the Senate chairman termed the Pak-China relationship as a bulwark against hegemonism in the region since there had been attempts at regime change and to impose India as the regional policeman by the US.
