Ya... Thank goodness ,now the poor Pakistani wheat exporters are going going to whine.... When are you going to stop begging Afghanistan and use Chinese route for entire trade to CAR
I had a read on the topography of this area......
A brief one I would say, but good info..
It started with the great game between Russia and great Britain, why Afghanistan got a small narrow piece of land wakhan corridor, topography of this area and on Chinese side, why China doesn't do business via this piece of land etc
I really pity on Pakistani citizens who really believe cpec is a better gateway to central asia..
It makes exports more costlier
More over, when China is capable of exporting any item I don't think they will allow any other state a free run.
So barring few items they might not be in a position to export to central asia
Even important become costlier
For India, I don't this this is a game changer either.
It's laboriously long route though places of instability
Won't expect much benefit except from afghans. Iranians are the biggest gainers here
I can understand happiness of Afghans but WHY common Indians are happy? Just to score brownie? They must know that their government have to heavily subsidies the wheat to make it cheaper for Afghans compared to Pakistan and compensate the excess transportation cost, in short common Indian have to pay for this d!ck measuring contest.
Actually you missed the point.
India is opening another route. So more opportunities for people here.
I don't think there will be subsidies like u pointed out
Never heard of such either
Loan/ donations are possibility
Items like Medicines etc will get a new market at expense of Pakistan
Now there's a bigger problem for pak now with this corridor. Some Indian supplies are actually better and less priced than Pakistani companies. So definitely they will seep into your country through trafficking
Double loss. I firmly believe that afghan govt encourages such things
you would have become a economick super power had you made entire CEPC with pakistani money and material and pakistani labour and made at least two three dozen special indiustrial and trade zones on both sides of CEPC routes way well in adnace and trained your professionslas and labour force to manage trains , lorries and the traffic and ports and port services
but now all the cepc projects are funded by china made by chinese materials by chinese exp[rts and labours and will be manged by chinese expersts and professions and even lorries and ports and pakistanies at the most will mange few resuturants or motels or tore repair shops along iots routes but whole costs of CEPC projects and infra will be paid as per Loans taken by pakistan at rate of miore than 7% which worldwide in such contracts in less than 1.5%
so how will you make profit even your experts are scratching there heds
think logically who will benefit you or china in short medium and long term
I think u better leave the cpec out of this discussion.
Unwanted
we do not have surplus wheat we need not to export besides most of the wheat/ flour is smuggle into Afghanistan from my province KPK and thus we here in KPK have shortage of wheat and when such a shortage arise then inter-provincial wheat movement is banned by Punjab and thus we here in KPK are forced to eat substandard wheat from hoarders 
So it is a good for locals if wheat smuggling to Afghanistan stops.
