I don’t understand what point of view you want to explain. Pakistan’s economy has always been on the verge of collapse. Afghanistan’s current economic situation is also extremely bad, with little impact on Pakistan. The country with the largest real investment in Pakistan is China. The impact of China's national investment policy on Pakistan will be obvious.
Really, is it always been that way? Then how come they're still doing just fine and they even have this seeding projects that aims to grow a lot of trees, pretty sure that it's an expensive project plus don't they have a nuclear arsenal?
Pakistan really needs the aid of other countries for it to survive again if that could ever be possible. Corruption and other illegal activities had been the backbone of the country which the US and other European countries had tried their best to clear the waves but still yet nothing happened. The Taliban had a deceitful objective to eradicate people who are or can be an antagonist to them by claiming lives unnecessarily.
