The problem with many of us is that CORRUPTION is such a norm now even more so thanks to JC that we dont feel any need to condemn it....Which mind you is disgusting!
That's your personal opinion/an opinion of an individual as I did not buy PTI argument since day 1.
That's the opinion of one individual/writer of Washington Post, it does not hold any official credibility or stance from the Government of PakistanXi arrived in Islamabad on Monday bearing real gifts:
What China’s and Pakistan’s special friendship means - The Washington Post
I am actually surprised that you quoted a post of one individual on that article. Is this how you conduct research? So if I write a post on PDF, somebody else quote me on different forum claiming it as official source of information? Is this how we gather creidible information?No matter what, N.Shariff deserves all the praise for bringing China as a great power bearing gifts, help and sincere friendship is not an easy joke but a Herculean task. This might turn out to be a cornerstone in Pak history to emerge as an Asian tiger. For, Pakistan has the people power, nuke power etc along with growing infrastructure in everything.

Another opinion/post made by an individual. It's not even written by the author. So if you reply to his post on dawn.com website, does it become authorised source of information?SHAUKAT ALI

A very pleasant gift to the nation. Very well done the PM and all participants
Parties pledge to take full political ownership of CPEC - Pakistan - DAWN.COM
It's once again a personal opinion from the blog. You can write another opinion and I will publish it for you, I don't understand how does it become credible source of informationThe time and tide is not in favor of the detractors. They will die their death in the hurricane of CPEC since China is determined to make Pakistan a success story. $46 billion economic package is Chinese gift for people of Pakistan.
Costs and benefits of CPEC | For Pakistan
It's once again a personal opinion of an individualThe Present Pakistani government views China’s promise of $46bn investment as a gift, and with a focus on building a China-Pakistan Economic Corridor it will be a potential game changer.

Because even the media hardly used such a term which is being linked to the government.And as usual no one corrected the useless media....It was spread as a gift coz some heavy mouthed tind couldnt be bothered to correct the misconception!
These are Just few people who posted it as a gift! Heck even ministers think its a gift! Basically either no one knows what a gift is or no one knows what CPEC really is coz NS never briefed the details to anyone....which is it?
As I said earlier, it can be referred as figure of speech. What you need to know is Pakistan had very bad reputation in international market. The foreign investment is close to none, the trust deficit is low and the world has better business environments available throughout the world so there is hardly any real reason for investing in dangerous place like Pakistan when China came ahead to announce such a massive number which is like 25% of Pakistan's total GDP and more than the entire budget of Pakistan.
If you read the basics of Business Management, Marketing or Business Environment you would learn about PESTLE (Political, Economical, Social and Technological, Legal and Environment). These are the basic foundations of starting a business somewhere which the companies keep in mind before even thinking to invest. We know the situation in Pakistan and only nations with ability to target high-risk factor are currently investing in Pakistan's private sector. The news of China changed the dynamics and the positive wave paved the way for other nations to revisit their stance about Pakistan. It is something technical and complex and I think you are more suited for different field
This is a different era we are living. The nations indeed prosper from their own resources but in the days of information technology, the world has gradually shrinked to 1 PC's gap. The service sector alone generates trillions of dollars for larger economy. The service sector of London is generating more income than double the gdp of Pakistan. One reason that China and India's economies kicked off is because they received billions of dollars of foreign investment in the form of direct foreign investment and indirect foreign investments. Each billion dollar may generate 100,000 jobs depending on the nature of business so imagine the potential of 46 billion dollars. China may import less than 1% of labour from China due to lack of expertise in Pakistan but it is simply impossible to export the whole of labour in Pakistan. It is impracticable, illogical, unwise decision for any businessman.Yes but NATIONS prosper by their own doing their own industries laws which protect their own not boot lickers
Sure investment is good but killing local industries isnt great!
Its for us with permission for China to use it. They will not be using it for free, they will be generating millions of direct and indirect jobs, paying toll charges, buying fuel, generating indirect source of income for Pakistan in the form of hotels, restaurants, convenience and so countless number of opportunities to mention. It will also increase flow of trade in Pakistan. Pakistan would obviously use the same infrastructure for own purpose and it will be easy to export to Middle East, Central Asia and Europe upon the completion of CPEC with greater advantage of reduced transportation cost for Pakistan.You think the infrastructure is for us and not them to use? They will use it and you will pay the loan...They will use it and you will be maintaining it for life and paying the loan! Whose winning without a plan?
It's a simple logic but even if China uses it for their own benefit, it's a welcome news as they will be paying for the electricity making another source of income for Pakistan. Please do remember the commercial sector do not incur loss of electricity in Pakistan, it is the private sector with tons of subsidies for households.How sure are we, the energy will be shared in national circuit? Is it written or assumed?
It's a good news if they use it... You should take such news positively2ndly, how are we benefiting when their industries will also require energy and how sure are we they wont use ALL of what they produce?
It takes time for nations to stand on their feet, if you receive help from third party it's not a bad news. Even India and China are growing thanks to the help of European market USA.3rdly, Why are you like a relying on others that is not progress that is slavery!
It is true that we need to reform the energy sector, so I agree4thly, when we have problems with transmission lines, people stealing and not paying bills...NO AMOUNT of Chinese help will solve this so no ....not until you fix the blooody law or the people it is no win for us!
It's a simple economics and needed no further explanation. Do you plan to import say, 5 million Chinese workers from China? Do you really plan to do that? Please do remember that you might be paying them above 10,000 dollars per annum compared to only 1300 dollars for local population.SO is it written OR AGAIN ASSUMED that locals will be employed and not Chinese only workers? You do know around the world people are localizing coz they want to make jobs for their own but in Pakistan we dont even know but are ASSUMING China is making jobs for us! What a laugh!
Instead of writing such statements give me a draft of what you blabbed here that LOCALS WILL BENEFIT coz that is what CPEC is selling as!
Once again I wanted to highlight Environment and Social Analaysis of PESTLE. Corporations has social responsibility towards the people from where they benefit. I would need few paragraphs to explain this part, it's basics taught in Business Management, Finance, Marketing, Business Environment or Economics.
Chillax babes, life is bigger than arguments. I don't want to fight with youMismanagement is a rant for you? Oh of course it is....Coz you dont see the mismanagement...I couldnt be bothered to read the last para coz there is no use wasting time with a dumb, deaf and blind!
I dont really care about the provincial system of Pakistan. I am a Pakistani, nothing more or less. What you were talking about were the domain of the federal government. The provincial government of Punjab could not be blamed for the acts of other provinces just like the provincial government of Sindh should not be blamed for the acts of Punjab.Then what is the use of the federal? Your blind faith for Punjab only is disgusting and suggesting Punjab to be a different country as compared with the other provinces!
Well depending on the area, their local council will approve the road. Each county receives its share of funds and they independently decide about the allocation of funds for various sectors. There are certain projects which requires approval from Westminster but if the project is not of national importance, the local councils should be able to do it on their own. The law in UK is very similar to Pakistan as you know the constitution of Pakistan consists of various traditions of UKWhen someone wants to build a road through UK will they go to Wales to discuss or London and London should forward the plans.....Likewise MANAGEMENT role is missing ....harping role is activated!
I don't expect a magic from them. I just try to be fair, I appreciate good steps by KP government and grill them for the wrongdoing which I may be wrong but correct in my wisdom.Well when you do bakwas regarding PROVINCIAL role of KPK which is 2.5 yrs not even federal and expect magic...THEN expect magic from 2.5 in federal!
The discussion that we were doing was in context to the federal government. There are different domains for provincial and federal governments. If you hold the Punjab government responsible for the situation of balochistan in 2010, it sounds not appropriate as the government of PPP and the Federal Government were the only stakeholders of Balochistan. Such a case also applies in 1990s.During the 1985 general election, a new PML(N) emerged on the country's political scene. The party had supported the presidency of Zia-ul-Haq and won his support to appoints Mohammad Khan Junejo for the office of Prime Minister. Nawaz Sharif had won the favours and support from the President Zia-ul-Haq and approved his appointment as Chief Minister of the Punjab Province in 1985.
and Nawaz Sharif the then chief minister of Punjab Province (1988)
The elections resulted in the victory of IDA, with Nawaz Sharif becoming Prime Minister. (1990)
The PML-N gained national prominence in the 1993 parliamentary elections and occupied 73 seats in the state parliament.
The Pakistan Muslim League (N) struck its remarkable, biggest, and most notable achievement in 1997 parliamentary elections, held on 3 February 1997
It's a long debate, we can talk about it if you want...but the post is already too large so I leave it for next time[/QUOTE]On 18 February 2008, after the polls were closed and the results had been announced, the PML-N gained 68 seats in the National Assembly, just behind the PPP. They announced that they would have discussions on forming a coalition with the PPP which would have half the seats in the 342 seat Parliament. In a press conference on 19 February, Nawaz called for President Pervez Musharraf to step down. Nawaz and Zardari agreed on forming a coalition, and Nawaz announced that he and his party gave the PPP the right to choose the next Prime Minister.
and again in 2013....I am not even putting forward their provincial winnings
Please tell me how you missed all these "experiences"
