If you cannot comprehend the difference between free trade investment and concessional investment done by the likes of China, then you are deliberately blind.

The powers that invest in such kinds - like US did to Pakistan in early 60's and then on, come with strings attached. They offer concessional loans or invest in guaranteed return projects, the projects if they fail then lead to situations when these powers ask for something in return to compensate. Typically they are also accompanied by more concessional loans in the defense sector which starts making the country both militarily as well as economically reliant on one patron country. Then they start making inroads and buying out key politicians and generals to maintain status quo and ensure nobody challenges their hold in that country. This doesn't play out in 1 year or even 10 years. This plays out over several decades.

If this sounds familiar - thats because it is. Pakistan has gone through this exact same route with US back in teh day. Idiots expect to the do the same thing over and over gain while expecting different results. Pakistan has always cut its own nose to spite India. Pakistan is clearly willing to pay any price to maintain parity or fight with India.

And frankly, India's collective reading of Pakistan is that Pakistan absolutely refuses to learn from history and adapt. That can be seen as how Pakistan has made the same mistake over and over again wrt India. Its symptomatic of the Pakistani behaviour.

Pakistan attacked India in 1965 and since then on has consistently tried to declare war on India by first sending in irregulars while thinking that India would not respond across the international border. This happened in 47, 65, 71, 99. Each time, your higher authorities have thought that 'this time', we have the Indians locked and they wont be able to respond. Each time they have been proved wrong when Indians went across the IB. While this assumption is valid as a theory the first time and even the second time to test for luck or coincidence. Pakistan's repeated use of this without yielding any results any time is instructive for us.

This merely shows a level of adamancy in Pakistani authorities (civil as well as military). They refuse to adapt and are bull headed. This is a tactical advantage but strategic fallacy. As has been evinced repeatedly - Pakistan is tactically brilliant but strategically dunce.
great analysis and i can't disagree from some ,
china's investment in pakistan are in 2 parts 1 which is investment for building gwadar and power projects and 2 is loan which pakistan took for building roads etc etc 35 from 46 is investment and 11 is loan. back in 50s-80s pakistan have to give something back to US for those investment like intervening in soviet-afghan war, war on terror or providing intelligence about iran iraq etc etc,

there is a law in pakistan any company wants to work in pakistan have to align with pakistan company and about 30% share goes to pakistani company even though china willing to buy whole organization they have to align themselves with pakistani company. and the amount of loan pakistan acquire (except those 35 billion) its done by pakistani govt on their own.
you people and many in paksitan still can't understand what is CPEC. this will help
for CPEC leading us to bankruptcy is not more then a hoax
