If your understanding of OBOR is as narrow as road or route, then it's true that OBOR is not attractive for India. If you widen the OBOR as infrastructure development of developing nations, you will understand it's actually a gift for India. However I know India will miss the opportunity anyway...
Probably Bangladesh, BD government is not as bad BD members here repeatedly bash, in fact BD government is the most competent and pragmatic among South Asia in my eyes. PM Hasina is a very smart politician. BD has an advantage of being next door to ASEAN which is the cradle of next economic...
You're basically suggesting Saudi to FIRE all of Indian female workers, are you? Now Trump's daughter is advocating to liberate Indian woman to labor market, this will directly intensify the competition of labor market, and the cost of female workers in her factories will be further reduced..:o:
Business investment is more than welcomed, the CPEC and Gwadar port is a kind of catalyst, only when Gwadar port become an international business hub, we can say that it's a big success, more investors, more earlier to withdraw the investment, more profit can be shared among the stake holders...
No big concern over this. I'm optimistic about the development of Gwadar, however media often spread exaggerated propaganda, patience is required. In this region, China need an industrial center to help adopt the relocation from China, Pakistan is the most ideal country,
have a population of 200...
Some feel it's a *unfair* deal because Pakistan has too few share of this port, they wouldn't think about the logic behind this deal. Just like the ports acquired by China in other countries, e.g. Sri Lanka and Myanmar, the ports themselves are not profitable as expected, however the economic...
I have explained very clearly that it's not easy for Gwadar port itself to become profitable,
the primary goal of Gwadar port is for development of Balochistan. If the industry parks can boom as expected, Gwadar has the potential to become a logistic hub for their transportation to Middle East...
The investment of Gwadar port is 1.6 billion US dollar, roughly 10,000 million RMB, to withdraw the investment in the following 40 years, the average *net profit* per year of Gwadar should be 250 million RMB.
Qingdao (China) port is top 10 port worldwide, 500 million tons of goods are...
BD is not ally of US and India, if it was, BD won't buy weapons from Russia and China.
However, BD has to consider India's interest because they has no option since they're surrounded. Sonadia port has no strategic value anyway, it's only a business port, China won't be stupid enough to station...
Well, there're more than 1.4 billion Chinese, we should support different viewpoints, he does have valid points in his comments whether or not he is Chinese.
BD has its unique strategic value different from MM. The weakness of India is its diverse culture and population, Kashmir and its 7 North...
The grand game of geopolitics in Indian Ocean will step into next stage. For MM, it can provide a sea port in India Ocean to significantly shorten the long transportation route from eastern coastline of China, however this definitely has nothing to do with the crap *Malacca* dilemma as someones...
Who is we ? If *we* is China, BD and MM, *we* make sense, if *we* mean China, wrong.
China is a mediator, not a commander. Ceasefire is the first stage of three stage proposal from Wang Yi, it's already achieved. MM and BD already signed an agreement on refugee repatriation. China promised to...
Well, BD members can't expect nice responses from Chinese members here by crying "China is shameless supporting *genocide*", the term *genocide* is a very severe accusation which even the *5 star enemy* - US didn't use it, they at most use the term *ethnic cleansing*, congratulation to BD...
RUMOR.
If there's such deal, it would be strictly confidential. At most a MoU like if-else-then etc. I don't think Saudis has any urgent requirement for a 5th generation fighter jet since its major rival Iran even has no any decent 4th fighter. Pakistan also has no such urgent requirement...
