Wow looks so nice. And look at that massive size! Is this meant for one person?

The beef paya looks so nice!!

With a growing economy, China is hungry and thirsty for fresh fruits (actually for all kinds of food). There is always segment of market that is happy to pay for high quality fruits with premium price. There is a lot of opportunity for Pakistani farmers/ growers to capture and capitalize.

China is just a poor developing country, the real money is here:

Remember a piece of news December last year a foreign UAV “landed” in western China. It must be mechanical failure naturally. I thought the property owner has requested for returning the drone but don’t know what happened.:woot:

Haha 50000 Chinese workers, you must be thinking they are building the Great Wall or 3 gorge dam. :woot:Just as a comparison, the recent project Djamaa El Djazair in Algeria only had about 2-3000 workers and that was a mixture of Chinese and local workers. The modern construction does not need...

China just needs to divert some money from US Treasury bond holding to Pakistan Treasury bond. win win.

Yes the name of the ambassador was Gan Ying. He did not reach Rome and only travelled to the Parthian coast of Persian Gulf. He was misled by local sailors that the journey was too dangerous and he returned without reaching Rome. Had he knew how close he was to Roman Empire, he would finish the...

Um... if Turkey doesn’t like to import goods from China, I am sure it can import the same things from Germany, or from Japan, or from Korea, or from US. It is very welcome to do so. It will simply move the trade deficit from China to these countries, same deal...

Apparently the Book of Later Han has a few valuable and very positive descriptions of Roman Empire based on some envoys: It’s territ extended for several thousand li (Chinese measures of distance). They have established postal relays at intervals, which are all plastered and whitewashed. There...

Apparently there are a number of related issues and the most important one is over reliance on external funds to finance the economic expansion. It is due to low domestic saving rate, which means funding has to be sourced externally, particularly from European institutions/ investors. The thing...

I have almost been blown away by OP’s crazy idea but when I found a tree to hold, I think there is some merit to discuss it. The failed acquisition of HQ9 by Turkey as well as a few less publicized weapon deals have shown China’s willingness to work with Turkey in the defence field. If in a...

More screen shots from news story on this project, before/ after comparison, how people have been working on it. they should be self explanatory: On a side note, many of these restoration projects are financed though mobile payments users “purchasing” their own trees via app like Ant...

The key thing is that these “Chinese” tour operators, “Chinese” restaurants, “Chinese” hotels, “Chinese” bus operators are all Australian businesses and are paying tax to the Australian government. They are part of Australian economy, not the economy of China. In exactly the same way in Turkey...

My guess is also thst it would be an upgraded version from the current Yuan class as it doesn’t take 5 years to build these submarine as they have been mass produced. Equally I don’t think it is going to be major change as 5-year is too short for that. Another possibility is that the long...

the trade unbalance between Turkey and China naturally plays a role in the depreciation of Lira vs RMB, but it cannot be the sole factor for the decline. Instead it is probably more to do with the fact the Lira has depreciated massively against USD and the value parity between USD and RMB...

can’t see why China cannot divert some money from the US treasury bond holdings which is in the order of trillions to Pakistan and he will not be concerned at all. Win win :-)

Cannot wait to test the new toy :p:

Despite the Turkish lira woes at the moment, China show its support and confidence in Turkey by putting another $2b into it. It is not surprising given many other major Chinese investment have already been placed in Turkey and no one can afford to let the money go down the drain. Again it shows...

We will have to wait for another 10-20 years to able to fully appreciated the massive scale and social economical benefits of CPEC once all 100+ projects finish and all the industries are built. As the author has pointed out, many Pakistani young people have been sent to China for further study...
