A book titled ‘China Leads’ authored by Dr Junaid Ahmad was launched at a hotel in Karachi on Wednesday. The Karachi Council on Foreign Relations (KCFR) organised the book launch. Consul General of People’s Republic of China in Karachi Yang Yundong was the chief guest.
The program was chaired by Ms Nadira Panjwani, Chairperson of KCFR. The book was reviewed by three eminent scholars which included: Amb (R) Hasan Javed a former ambassador of Pakistan having served in China twice and author of many books on China – Mian Shaukat Hussain, an eminent businessman dealing with China for the last 50 years and Prof Dr Athar Ahmed, an expert in international marketing and Dean of Greenwich University.
The audience was informed that China Leads is perhaps the first book of its type which has brought to light the fact that only the Chinese civilization and the Chinese language embodies in it wisdom and knowledge of over 5,000 years. In its entire history, China has never attacked any country. It has only defended itself from many aggressors throughout its history.
Dr Junaid Ahmad, the author informed that there are over 400 references taken from credible sources aimed at assisting the future students and researchers on China. He thanked the KCFR, the Chinese Consul General, the reviewers and the audience. He also responded to various questions raised by the audience.
