(Yes, your right. It's just a road. Just strip of tarmac. Just a ribbon. What will it do? Well it will flood the Pakistani market. It will destroy our industry. So what is good about it?
Everything. The problem with Pakistan is we have
stuck our heads up our backsides. This has allowed the world to move on while
we are still sat there in our villages swatting flies. Have you ever thought why a country of 200 million people has exports less than 3 million Ireland?
Where is our so called industry? Well we don't have industry like most of the world. We have parasites going as industry. Now this is how "parasite industry" works. The
elite make the poor go abroad to slave away in Saudia Arabia or other countries. The billions that comes to Pakistan then is spent on cars, motorbikes, houses, food, fridges, electrical products etc.
Then the elite create a import restriction that either stops anything being imported or attracts high taxes. That means when you want to buy a car, fridge etc you can't buy it from abroad. Then the ruling elite give a licence to one of their favourites to make friidges. The factory that makes fridges can be utterly inefficent and the fridge could be rubbish but it still sells because onsumers have no choice. So these lame duck industries that really are just parasites and survive because of regulated market keep making money for the elite.
Comes alonng CPEC. destroys these industries. Consumer get choice.
If our fridge is better why would we buy Chinese? If our shoes are better why would we buy Chinese? If our industry shuts it is because it was incompetant parasite. As industry shuts down that effects the market. The Chinese companies will soon start moving their prodiction units along the CPEC to supply local market as well as abroad. This then over time introduces nerw ideas, new ways of running things and introdices competion.
Over time some of our people start comepting and the best go on to then compete with the world. This is why CPEC is good for us in the long run.

So that is what you think?
Let me explain to you your thought and its consequences....
First,
You said
everything is good about cPEC....Totally wrong.That is what you think, just a dream.Why would china help us.Chinese govt knows situation and level of corruption in pakistan.why would china help.why would any other country in the world help an other country without any concern.let's say china is a deeeep friend of pak .does it make any sense?do we have any kind of example in which a country helps an other country to such an extent?lets accept it for a minute that china really cares about us.but Why we always need a shoulder for support.did china asked for any help when it was striving and fighting for its existence?well! The thing that makes cPEC good for Pak is sincereity of China.After cPEC completion it depends on china that either it wants to make this project useful or harmful for Pak . And the truth is that Some kind of little financial help and cheap goods that china is giving us and that shahra e resham is not a proof that China is actually thinking about Pakistan's progress. Everything that china has done in past was only for its own good.Give me a single example of chinese help which is actually making pakistan developing.....except those aids which worth nothing...and those useless engines.
.
second "stuck our heads up our backsides. "Whatever u call it.
Those nations which learn nothing from the past can never ever make progress.they just keep falling because they did not stick their heads up their backsides.so sticking the head up our backsides is necessary.so that is an unvalid explaination.
.
Third we are still sat there in our villages swatting flies.
It is up to us that either we want to do something or just want to wait for a miracle.it is our chioce.why are we following such dumb politicians?Who has choosen them as our leaders? Is'nt it you?isn't it me? They were not born as our leaders,we have choosen them.Then why are we claiming that these politicians are ruining us.We are destroying ourself.than why blaming leaders?
Why we are sitting in villages swating flies?because we have accepted it.We dont want to make any change ourself but are crying for a change.Changes dont come that are brought by nation by people by youth.If we wish and work for making a change we will no more swatt flies sitting in our villages.
Every nation had a time when he was just swatting flies but they did not wait for cPEC to come and change their condition.They worked and hard worked for their progress and even china changed his condition from worst to best.Point to be noted"without anybody's help"
Forth elite make the poor go abroad to slave away in Saudia Arabia or other countries.
Why we are going abroad for slaving?why dont we make our country worth earning a living?because we are getting adopted to slavery.We think slavery is easy than making a way in our own country.Accept it or not we are all biased.We think of ourself only.to go abroad and earn a living is only for you while if u make a change it will give benefit to each person of your country but who cares.
And please explain elite.Doesnt elite consist of all the leaders plus all those rich pakistanis who are not giving a chance to poors.who want that all the treasure should be theirs.they are not happy if a poor gets rich or comes to their level.what cPEC will do in this regard.
Fifth If our fridge is better why would we buy Chinese? If our shoes are better why would we buy Chinese?
Better thing is always costly...so is pakistani.
And every body wants to buy a thing that is cheap.chinease products are cheap.majority of peole are poor in pakistan and they cant afford a costly and a better thing...that is one reason why chinese products will rule even if they are worst because majority is going to buy it due to cheap price.Than pkaistan industry will automatically destroy because a little no. of rich buyers can not make it stand.
So either pakistan makes excelent products,poor will only buy cheap worthless chinese products,as it is happening now a days.Than again our engineers,youth and all that talented people will have to become slaves of other countries for a living,again,as it is happening now a days.

Sixth Over time some of our people start comepting and the best go on to then compete with the world.
Competition ?what kind of competition ?the competition of an already developed country with a country who is fighting for existence?do you expect that an economicaly weak country will ba able to stand that competition? No way... we will surely loose balance.we need to strengthen our roots first and it is posaible only when we develope our industry.And cPEC is not going to help us anyway to make progress.china will not wait for us to get developed.our leaders are going to stop bringing chinese products in pakistan.we need to be sincere with our country we should buy only pakistani products and only then and only then we will make progress....
Result
We need a leader wo does not want to rule,who wants to lead a nation.
We need a nation,a united nation,The pakistani Nation.
We need to bring a change in ourself,a positive change.
We need to be ready for any kind of sacrifice of ease,time,energy etc.
We need to learn how to live independently .
We need to learn to live with unity and need to learn to work as a team,and as a developer not as a slave.
