You don't understood a simple question I guess. Just think our scenario, do you think India is stupid to invest USD 500 Million on Chabahar knowing very well the fact that it's not economically viable for us, yet we are investing because it serves our strategic interest to a greater extend.
Similarly, China is not investing in Pakistan to earn a total profit, rather it's their hedge against any future crisis (if any) which threatens their traditional trade routes via SCS. Moreover all the money China put's in is not investment rather loan (not even soft loan), I bet experts in Pakistan also won't disagree with that. Above all China is getting few exclusive economic zones where even Pakistani businesses are not allowed to operate. LOL
You seems pretty naive, without much knowledge of macro economics and investments. I was just asking you to elaborate ROI if someone is supposed to invest in CPEC related projects. Reply back if you have answer to this simple question.
In layman terms Gwador is leasehold improvement, China will return the Port and other facilities after 40 years. The 9% revenue sharing is essentially ground lease payments.
Pakistan gets a well maintained deep sea port for free after 40 years.
