Exclusive: CPEC master plan revealed

[koolio]

Wow that last pic looks amazing, hopefully these beaches should be developed to bring much needed tourism.

To my Pakistani friends. Please don't fall for this west sponsored Black propaganda. To understand that all, please watch the following documentaries in detail to understand how they attack any nation trying to get out of their claws and work for its own interests and welfare and growth of its population.

Be aware of Black Propaganda
Be aware of Black Operations

Watch Part 3 if you are short of time.

That is the most eye catching bit. If implemented, this will leave Dubai and other Asian tourists destination in dust. The Baluchistan coast is remarkable and ideal for those who seek sun, sand, waves and warm waters with not a single cloud in the sky 365 days in the year.

Mediterranean countries mint their beaches and if you plan a family holiday with a villa or good hotel, you are left with atleast 3k bill. Pakistanis don't realise how beautiful beaches they got with sandy flat planes going as far as one can see and warm water which won't freeze your balls if you take a dip.

Why Ihsan Iqbal is not happy with publishing of this plan by Dawn?

His argument is this isn't the final draft that government accepted in Beijing yesterday or very near past!

Very interesting indeed:

To be fair, this Dawn article does mention Chinese imports going through Pakistan.

Indians know that CPEC is going to change Pakistan forever

I agree, if CPEC was insignificant Indians wouldn't pay proxies to attack people working on it. CPEC is going to be a huge change, connecting Pakistan to western china and probably to Central Asia. There is this scare among Pakistanis after the release of this article that Chinese companies will buy up all of Pakistan, it stems from lack of information, for example no foreign company can establish business in Pakistan without giving at least 30% stakes to local businesses. Pakistan gov. should release the final draft of the long term plan to counter this Dawn leak. This Dawn leak is very detrimental to the progress of CPEC.

Good points.... Plus CPEC is in essence OBOR's pilot project and by default the flagship project of China grand plan establishing it's foreseeable future policy. The Chinese establishment cannot afford for CPEC to fail. It will have a huge detrimental effect on their short and term vision and goals.

China by default will have to ensure they do not position pakistan in a difficult position where CPEC is rejected by the masses, places pakistan in a debt death trap, or endangers pakistan integrity. It is a high risk game for both parties... because of that it is in both sides to ensure the success of this transformational project.

India cannot fathom a project which tilts the balance in favour of pakistan. Their goal has always been the extermination and annihilation of pakistan.

Yeah, I think the same, if CPEC is the pilot project of BRI and it is looked as some sort of a colonization mission like in some sectors (very few) in Pakistan, it will have adverse effect on BRI. Ahsan Iqbal refused to release the final draft of LTP because he says "Its a bilateral plan and both parties must agree to its release", I don't know how he is going to counter Dawn leaks, maybe by maligning Dawn News ? I think he should make every plan as transparent as possible.
The gist of CPEC is, It is a WIN-WIN, China is bound to gain from CPEC, and Pakistan will be getting Power and infrastructure. And when there is adequate infrastructure more countries will invest. Western countries tend to invest in places where Chinese have invested in infrastructure.

This is the most interesting and revealing part of this whole report.

Only if you've missed the whole point of CPEC, like much of Pakistan's media, forum members and probably yourself included. Chinese investment in Pakistan is not just about a trade route, or one superhighway from Gwadar to Kashgar, that's both misleading and gross dumbing down of what is trying to be achieved. You don't spend tens of billions on a single trade route and port, that should be the first dead giveaway to any who might have misunderstood what's going on. If you look at the initial plans set forth, very few of them are related to Gwadar, but wider investments in infrastructure, energy and agriculture are listed instead.

Pakistan budget to pay Chinese loan interests

Your concern for Pakistan and its abilities to service its liabilities is noted, you can spare us all in needing to go any further.

 

[shahbaz baig]

according to Dawn leaks entire punjab and some part of sindh will have major industrial zones. GB, balochistan , KPK will have only raw material exploring industries.. infect two major transmission lines with grids is being developed in punjab. and there is not even one transmission line for balochistan yet. it is not FDI it is all loans which Pak have to pay back at 12% ratio. pak will not be able to payback the debt by 2025 etc etc .

ahsen iqbal denied the report , saying that this is not the original long term plan.
may be he is right because in this report, industrials zones were included in sindh & punjab. but now all provincial Govt has already announced the location of industrial zones in their provinces.
we thanks to china who supported us.

PMLn senior minister Ahsan Iqbal is very angry after dawn release this report......

After reading this report , it seems PMLn has sold all Pak resources to China..Little example , China will bring machinery to grow more cotton in Pakistan , then raw will export to China and later finished product will be export from there. So, what will Pakistan industry will do to stop and compete .

Nothing really new that most senior members, TTs and mods on this forum haven't already guessed. The only surprise is the big focus on agriculture.

And we have yet to see any agreement or project implemented under CPEC for agriculture. Maybe agriculture is part of phase 2.

‘Nervous’ India can’t stop neighbours backing OBOR: Global Times
SAM Report, May 15, 2017

New Delhi ‘should just be a good member of the audience’ if it does not wish to participate in the initiative, a report in the Chinese state-run media said.

India’s refusal to join China’s high-profile Belt and Road initiative is “regrettable” but New Delhi cannot “impede its neighbouring countries from cooperating with China in infrastructure development”, a column in the Chinese state-run Global Times said on Monday, referring to New Delhi’s opposition to China’s One Belt, One Road initiative.

“It is strange that the onlooker is more anxious than the players,” the article read. “While India cares about its neighbours’ debt burden, the neighbours appear willing to take on more.” The two-day Belt and Road Forum is being attended by leaders from 29 countries, including Pakistan.

The editorial came in response to New Delhi’s statement on Saturday, in which it said the project, which includes the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, does not respect India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The 3,000-km-long CPEC is aimed at connecting the two countries through a network of railway tracks, roads, pipelines and optical cable fibres. India has been critical of the CPEC as it runs through Azad Kashmir.

“While India recently issued an official statement saying it would not be part of the “One Belt and One Road” (B&R) initiative, it will not affect the trend towards cooperation in infrastructure development among its neighbouring countries at all,” Global Times reported today.

“India was openly sceptical of China’s Belt and Road Forum (BRF) hours ahead of the opening of the event, mainly due to concerns over the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). It is regrettable but not a problem that India still maintains its strong opposition to the B&R, even though China has repeatedly said its position on the Kashmir dispute would not change because of the CPEC.” the article said.

“The B&R is a grand economic cooperation and development plan open to everyone, and is aimed at improving infrastructure in countries along the B&R route, thus benefiting the local people, it said. China would never force any country to participate in the B&R if it was too sceptical and nervous to do so” the article said.

Referring to the statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs on March 13, a day before the two-day B&R summit, it said India also cited the potential debt burden as one of its other concerns, saying that, “connectivity initiatives must follow the principles of financial responsibility to avoid projects that would create an unsustainable debt burden for communities.”

On Saturday, Pakistan and China inked new deals worth nearly USD 500 million, covering airport, port and highway construction, it said. “As regards the potential debt burden, Pakistan’s repayments will peak at around USD 5 billion in 2022, but this will be offset by transit fees charged in the CPEC,” it quoted a media report and referred to Nepal officially signing a deal with China to join the B&R with plans to build a cross-border rail link that may cost up to USD 8 billion.

The article further stated that given the active responses from countries along the route, there is no way for India to impede its neighbouring countries from cooperating with China in infrastructure development. “China has formally invited India to join the B&R. If India doesn’t want to take a part on the stage, then it should just be a good member of the audience. The role is still available if India changes its mind, but it may only be a small role if it is left too late,” it said.

Likely.

Phase one was always about the initial building and up-gradation of existing and new infrastructure; Roads, ports, offices, and new power plants. You cannot grow an economy without these things.
