However, as the first few decades of MODERNISM, Pakistan coincided with a greater interaction with QUR'AN TEXT , the West, a new visual idiom developed in calligraphy ART IN PAKISTAN as well; the Painterlys Calligraphy.

  • Newroad Map for 'US-Chinese Relations'
    CSSForum.com.pk Content Copyright © jWorldTimes.com Jahangir World Times Published: May, 2013 NewRoad Map for 'US-Chinese Relations' The article presents a detailed analysis of Sino-US relations focusing especially on the future prospects for two super powers. The critique has been written in the wake of the second term of US President Barack Obama and the regime change in China. Hope We Still Have Wednesday, May 01, 2013 Debate about the future of US-Chinese relations is currently being driven by a more assertive Chinese foreign and security policy over the last decade, the region's reaction to this and Washington's response to Asia. Now it is clear that the USA will remain in Asia for the long haul, the time is ripe for both countries to take stock, look ahead and reach some long-term conclusions as to what sort of world they want to see beyond the barricades. Asia's central task, in future, is to avoid major confrontations between the US and China; a difficult but doable task. It requires both parties to understand each other thoroughly, to act calmly despite provocations and to manage the domestic and regional forces that threaten to pull them apart. This requires a deeper and more institutionalized relationship -- one anchored in a strategic framework that accepts the reality of competition, the importance of cooperation and the fact that these are not mutually exclusive propositions. Hidden Dragon No Longer The speed, scale and reach of China's rise are unprecedented. Within 30 years, China's economy has grown to larger than all countries, except USA.
