China's development poses no threat to world: Pakistani President

The development of China is a good thing for the world, as China never interferes in other countries' internal affairs, said Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari, expressing confidence in China's peaceful rise and emphasizing its non-interventionist history and longstanding neighborly ties.

Zardari made the remarks in an interview with China Media Group in Beijing during his state visit to China from Feb. 4 to 8.

The president said he was deeply impressed by China's rapid development and transformation during his visits over the past decades.

"Every time I come, it's another city. Every city is another city, even Beijing. I'm coming here now after 10 years, and it's new to me - the look of it, buildings, this and that, people - everything is different. It's the fact that you have such hardworking people. Everybody is working in their own field, and it ends up in a collective advantage to the nation," he said.

Zardari highlighted Pakistan's long-standing ties with China, emphasizing that China's rise is a positive development and should not be feared. He reaffirmed his confidence in China's peaceful intentions and the strong friendship between the two nations.

"The rise of China, which is a good thing -- China has never been an occupier. I'm your neighbor and have been your neighbor since centuries (ago). So why should one neighbor, which knows that the Chinese are not the kind who want to interfere in other countries, be scared? And I would never be scared of China. I (could) be scared of another country, all right, but not China. I have faith in not only the peaceful dialogue but for our friendship," said the president.

In the same period, major players in the industry generated 2.63 trillion yuan (about 385.3 billion U.S. dollars) in total business revenue, up 14.3 percent year on year. Exports rose by 1.2 percent, driven by strong overseas demand for integrated circuits. Investment returned to a growth zone after logging a decrease in 2025.

Industrial enterprises above the designated size refer to those with an annual revenue from their principal business of 20 million yuan or more.
