Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf is visiting China for a five-day visit seeking China's help in nuclear energy, textiles, energy, and communications. Pakistan was rebuffed by European Union and the United States on its demand for nuclear parity with India. Pakistan was greeted with official and media based barrage on its non-proliferation and terrorism performance. However, Musharraf hopes to gain Chinese assistance for 2 more reactors in its efforts to increase nuclear energy generation capacity from 437 megawatts to 8500 megawatts. China had assisted Pakistan with the 300 megawatt Chasma Nuclear Power Plant.
