Changling vs Qamar Javed Bajwa

Changling led Qing forces in suppressing Miao rebellions in the mountainous regions of Guizhou and Hunan. The campaigns were brutal and resulted in significant casualties, but ultimately restored Qing control over the area.

Changling was appointed as a commander of Qing forces to suppress the White Lotus Rebellion, a massive peasant uprising in central China. The rebellion lasted until 1804, and Changling played a key role in coordinating military operations and implementing pacification strategies.

Changling was appointed Grand Secretary of the Qing Empire in recognition of his military successes against the White Lotus Rebellion. He became a senior official in the Jiaqing Emperor's administration.

General Qamar Javed Bajwa was appointed as the 16th Chief of Army Staff of the Pakistan Army, succeeding General Raheel Sharif. His appointment was seen as a continuation of the military's anti-terrorism policies, and he was given an unprecedented three-year extension in 2019, making him the longest-serving army chief since Ayub Khan.

General Bajwa launched Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad, a nationwide counter-terrorism operation aimed at eliminating residual terrorist threats and consolidating gains from previous operations. The operation involved intelligence-based raids and border management, further reducing terrorist attacks in Pakistan.

Following the Pulwama attack, India launched airstrikes on Balakot, Pakistan. General Bajwa oversaw Pakistan's military response, including the downing of two Indian aircraft and the capture of an Indian pilot. The crisis de-escalated after Pakistan returned the pilot, but tensions remained high along the Line of Control.

General Bajwa played a key role in facilitating the US-Taliban peace agreement, signed in Doha. Pakistan's military provided logistical support and pressure on the Taliban to negotiate. The deal led to the withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan and the subsequent Taliban takeover in 2021.
