How Asia Fell Out of Love With China’s Belt and Road Initiative

[Pan-Islamic-Pakistan]

Dude, Turkey hates China over their treatment of Uyghur. Have you not seen the exchanges between Turks and Chinese on this very forum?
Iran seriously mistrusts the Russians as they have betrayed them too many times.

Russia and China is a marriage of convenience and that will disintegrate some day, probably when China becomes so strong(2025-2030) that the Russians really become scared that they will take back the Far East that Russia captured in the 19th Century from China.

You are wrong about all your points, brother.

Russia, China, Turkey, Iran, and Pakistan are being pushed together by the policies of the US and its lackeys (India, Israel, KSA, UAE, etc.)

Pls pray tell me how making the cabin and interior in India for a few sets of Bullet trains and then transporting to Japan for finishing will be viable? Sense aside which company in India will come forward to create an infrastructure for a few train sets? And lets say if one company does create infra what will it do after this project? As other projects are planned to be done by China, Germany etc. So that company needs to invest in infra again cos tech for other country platform is different.

The highlighted part affirms Indian companies doesnt have the requisite experience or infra to create the system. I would be surprised even if signalling systems will be given to Indian firms for this project. Indian companies will be doing one thing only. Laying pillars and bridges, stations etc for this project. Other than that, steel, trainsets and training will come from Japan and we need it. And importantly Indian labour for this project.

Secondly the loan agreement with Japan. I will spell it out. No payment for first 20 years. After that it supposed to be paid in 30 years with 0.1% interest. Effectively 50 years loan at 00.1% per annum. Care to show which Chinese project in Sri lanka or Pakistan had this liberal loan interest? The Chinese loans to Pakistan has 18% interest with soverign guarantee.

I am still waiting for feasibility report for Hambantota howeever.

Why degrade your own country manufacturing capability just to validate your own argument? India does manufacture coaches, you also export them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_Coach_Factory

But you're not getting the contracts coz Japan is funding the bullet train so most contracts go to Japanese firms. Your govt officials too admitted it, I cited the source in previous post. Quit deluding yourself. That is how business world works.

Feasibility study means nothing if host country is unable to stick to the terms. Sri lankan mismanaged its project, China gets the blame. India bullet train originally planned for 28% elevated railway, but now want to increase to 90%. The cost will triple, which means borrowing will increase. If you apply the same logic, it's called Japanese debt trap, lol.

Only you know if manufacturing normal coaches is the same as Bullet trains coaches. If Indian firms is manufacturing bullet trains then we would be building it ourselves brilliant.

And Feasbility study is everything. One buy's a home after doing an grand analysis of the area one is buying, the cost of living in that region, the location from that place to your work and its estimated price in 20 years. Dont tell me you walk somewhere and buy a home. Lol. Chinese paid Rajapakse and Sharif some money, did some projects, and trapped the nation in debt.

The basic fittings in train are the same, there's no special bullet train lighting or bullet seats, LOL. For more technical parts, Japanese can co-produce locally, since the bullet train is staying put in India. Keep mocking your own country's capability so you can win this argument


If you changed the term of the original plan, you only have yourself to blame. Indian bullet train now want 90% elevated railway, cost will triple. Japanese debt trap, but India still want it.

China BRI is basically a scam.

Yeah, such a wonderful scam that caused USA to spend $1T so far in Afghanistan.

Wars have always been fought over Natural Resources and Trade Routes.

I like CA,but there was a problem with this government. The marijuana was legalized. A few days ago, a person smoked marijuana and robbed a woman 35 dollars in the street. The police released him a few days after he was arrested. (Is this not a big violent crime??), now the robbery of violence has increased, illegal refugees have soared, the government has given illegal refugees a four-star hotel, interfered with Saudi internal affairs, interfered in China’s internal affairs, and interfered in the internal affairs of the Philippines. Convicted attempted murderer invited to reception With Trudeau in India. This is not the previous Canada that was peaceful with the world.
This prime minister is very loved to show off and interfere with this intervention.It seems that he forgot that he is a prime minister and not an actor.
