what the chinese were saying was also that the cooperation between pakistan and china should be a benefit regional countries and south asia as well saying that it would be a win hart win situation and that this country should normalize their relation relations and use the wisdom of the east according to the chinese president. the move is seen as a significant development at the time when pakistan was standing isolated in the region and there was a lack of interest with the american help to pakistan. american analysts are saying that the strategic impact of the american help has not been felt and what the chinese are trying to do is to win over pakistan and, of course, this is being dubbed as a major game changer in this region. >>> at least one person is dead after an explosion in afghanistan's second largest city. a car bomb went off outside a police checkpoints in kandahar, as least 14 others were wounded including seven police officers and seven civilians. >>> china's biggest city shanghai is preparing to introduce a new law to force polluting vehicles off the road. exhaust fumes have
