Please don't push your luck in this issue you are on the wrong side Pakistan considers China as brothers and USA as ex-girlfriend
You lack in "independent thinking," and see conspiracy in everything.
To hell with IMF and World Bank. PTI will loose my vote if it will knock on the door of one of these institutes to rescue Pakistani economy.
As for the Chinese being our brothers:
A Chinese
brother committed fraud with me in a business deal. I also saw a video of some Chinese
brothers beating our policemen.
I am also aware of scandals of Saindak, Neelum-Jehlum and Metro Orange Train.
China also constructed a dam on indus river without informing Pakistan not long ago.
Chinese are NOT our brothers; they will look after their interests in large part. They are not emotional fools.
YES! Pakistan have benefitted from its relationship with China in numerous ways but same is/was true with US. State-to-state relations are not one-sided; China stands to gain from its dealings with Pakistan due to hostile India. However, China desire friendly relations with India because it is a huge market and China have planned an Indo-Bangla OBOR corridor to appease both.
China also have deep knowledge of our nuclear capabilities because of its lion's share of assistance in this domain. You are not worried?
IMHO, Pakistan should have decent relations with China, Russia and US, but establish economic safeguards and play smart. Do not allow superpowers to exploit us.
Back to the main point:
An economic expert needs access to relevant DATA to do his homework, and offer meaningful advice.
Hawa mein teer chalaney ka koi faida nahin hota.
CPEC is a mega-economic project but lacks in transparency. CPEC should be transparent for Pakistani nationals at mininum; agenda is to make informed decisions and experts having a say in them.
You are looking for excuses to justify a poor judgement of PTI-led government.
