On August 29, 1842, after the first Opium War (China banned Britain from smuggling opium to China, Britain was dissatisfied and launched the first Opium War),under the military threat, China’s Qing Dynasty was forced to sign the unequal treaty with the British Empire, the "Nanjing Treaty," and China ceded Hong Kong Island to the United Kingdom. This is the real loss of territory.

Now that China is responsible for operating the port of Sri Lanka and creating profits for Sri Lanka, and this port become China's? ? ?
What China is giving Pakistan is not a loan. It is actually Chinas investment. Pakistan cannot spend this money any where else but on projects of CPEC that is why mark up is low and Pakistan will pay this loan from the money it earns from Chinese trade transit going to China. This is some what of a balanced deal for both govts in which both China and Pakistan benefit. India thinks it is a trap but idiots don't know a shit about it.
Now how it helps Pakistan is that it will bring investment into Pakistan's economy. Like construction projects will buy raw material and hire labor from Pakistan and inject money into economy. This is a threat to USA and India the whole CPEC is designed to take Pakistan out of IMF and US influence. That is the actual butt hurt for USA and India.
They know itwell ,they just want to tarnish the image of China and impede the development of economic corridor,otherwise they india will not borrow money for AIIB Bank themselves,they know this kind of loan is good.
