Pakistani students studying in Chinese universities in Parliament House have not been sent back to the university for ten years, they have met the ministers, they are not paying any attention, they have been vaccinated,
they are ready for quarantine, and these two years Pakistani students pursuing Ph.D., Masters, and MBBS in China cannot return to China.
Vaccines have been given but still, China is not giving permission but Kabul is more important for Shah Mehmood than the students studying in China.
The government is so incompetent that it is not even talking to the friendly country in this regard
Whatever the situation, it should be brought to the notice of the people.
Pakistan's ambassador to China Moinul Haq has started ignoring Pakistani students instead of helping them. I just want to ask the Pakistani ambassador what we need in response to our Pakistani children. Disability is an obstacle.
There is a general issue of adopting a diplomatic approach. As soon as it is done correctly, this issue will be resolved. This is not a big deal.
The field of diplomats is their left-hand game and they have to do it but they do not know why the esteemed ambassador is suffering from such sluggishness and laziness.
JUI Member National Assembly Shahida Akhtar Ali raised her voice for Chinese students, raised the issue of 6,000 Pakistani students studying in China, and demanded emergency action from the Deputy Speaker.
Students only want to know when will China open visas for Pakistani students and instead of answering you are blocking them. kindly don't play with the feelings of the students and help them.
Nobody is listening to them. Don't know where to go to ask for the rights. 2 years wasted and they are just enjoying their positions and blocking the students.
China will offer a fantastic, extraordinary, and excellent Winter Olympics to the world. We firmly believe that all athletes would have unforgettable experiences in Beijing and fulfill their Olympic dreams. It is going to happen in Beijing in 2022 but unfortunately no place for the students from Pakistan.
Chinese people are awesome. They treat Pakistanis as their sincere friends. Don't know why the Chinese government is different. I wonder what would be the reaction of common Chinese people to know that Pakistani students are locked out since Jan 20?
But I would say it's a failure of the Pakistan government & the embassy that they're not even saying anything related to this issue to the Chinese government it is not important for the Pakistan government to have nothing to do with those 6000 students who have been studying in China.
‘We are hopeless now’: Pakistani students’ plight to return to China
Anger, frustration, and hopelessness permeate the air as Pakistani students remain locked out of China due to the country’s zero-COVID policy. The China travel ban has shut borders to outsiders since March 2020 after the virus outbreak halted international travels, leaving more than half a million students stranded abroad.
For Pakistani students unable to resume classes on campus, the two-year ordeal of awaiting return to their universities has caused many to reach the end of their tethers.

China travel ban: Ignored pleas, uncertain futures
Last year, Arab News reported that the Pakistani government has taken steps to aid their students’ return to China. “We are constantly in touch with the Chinese authorities on the issue, and trying to resolve it as soon as possible,” Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri, the spokesperson for the Foreign Office, was quoted saying.
The Higher Education Commission of Pakistan has also set up a special portal for more than 8,000 Pakistani students enrolled in Chinese universities, a source reports.
However, there are no clear mentions of an exact time frame to greenlight their re-entry at the time of writing. China’s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, Wang Wenbin, asserts that China “will continue taking prevention and control measures” in a recent press conference, not indicating easing its zero-COVID policy.
Referring to a recent official announcement issued on Twitter by the Pakistani Medical Commission (PMC), clarifying that it will not recognize any undergraduate or postgraduate certificates acquired through online teaching or tutorial programs without in-person physical training at a PMC-recognised Foreign Medical or Dental teaching institution.
It is unclear whether this includes students involuntarily locked out of foreign universities at the time of writing. The shocking statement nevertheless compounded the disappointments of medical students further, who now fear for their prospects in the country.
With the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics set to take place in February, an advisor to China’s State Council hopes that the country’s stringent approach in tackling the pandemic will shift so that its borders can gradually reopen, according to Time.
