China will provide six patrol ships to Pakistan for CPEC protection

Of course the Chinese would! After all it's not about Pakistan. It's about protecting China's port at Gwadar which has been leased out to them by Pakistan for 40 years. So the port effectively belongs to China and thus the need to protect it and the assets therein.

Leasing is not owning please know this and understand it lolz.
 
Seems like a good idea for anti piracy. But the article itself leads the reader to believe China is paying for this and gifting these to Pakistan? Is Pakistan paying for these boats? Also with the number of actual larger corvettes that PN requires to protect shores from other naval powers, why only 8 of these ships?
Not likely to question personal in uniform but this seems political especially given the superior platforms afforded abroad.
