Your and our society is different. I'm not saying that we cannot learn from your political model, but we have our own challenges that we need to overcome.
Yes. My view is that Pakistan cannot replicate China's political model, but it can refer to or learn from it in some aspects.
1. You are overwhelmingly ethnically similar. 91% Han. We are multi-ethnic and in large parts a society influenced by tribal culture. Even in our modern cities we have people who won't marry other people based on differences in identity such as clan/caste/inter-religious denomination. Those differences are exploited in an environment where resources are limited to create a "us and them" mentality - whereas in reality the only us and them, is the established elite Vs the rest of us.
From a Chinese perspective, while race is related to this issue, it's not the core problem.
The Han Chinese are fundamentally different from other ethnic groups. Their issues cannot be simply viewed as racial problems. The Han Chinese are actually a collective term for the majority of Chinese people who share common values. From the perspective of human ancestry research, they are a product of the complete integration of multiple races. This is related to the historical development of China.
For example: During the Qing Dynasty, the rulers of China were Manchus. Through the efforts of several emperors, the Manchus began to highly integrate with the Han Chinese. They respected Han culture and learned and used it. The official language was a mixture of Manchu and Chinese, with Chinese as the primary language.
After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, many Manchus changed their names and adopted Han names to conceal their Manchu identity in order to survive.
In modern China, we respect all ethnic groups. When people of different ethnicities intermarry, their children can choose their own ethnicity (most choose non-Han). According to Chinese law, non-Han Chinese people enjoy many special welfare benefits in China. The unique cultures of each ethnic group develop naturally according to the objective laws inherent in their cultural attributes. The cheongsam, a unique garment of the Manchu people, is very popular in China.
It should be noted that China has very strict control over religious culture, but not over ethnic minority cultures. This distinction needs to be made.
2. Around 40% of our population cannot read and write, not even the bare basics. Of the other 60% you have seen the lack of quality of education on this very forum. Look how absent critical thinking is, look how prevalent rumours are, how undisciplined the discourse between us is. This is exploited by the people in power and great effort taken to keep it that way. They need it to remain in power.
In 1949, shortly after the PRC was established, the CCP began implementing basic education throughout China. Later, the Chinese government legislated for nine years of compulsory education.
The Pakistani government should indeed strengthen its citizens' basic education.
