‘Pakistan pays only 1 or 2 pc interest on Chinese loans’

[SMC]

While we pay 0.1% to japanese for their investments in india, where not a single japanese worker comes to india, not a single inch is given to japan, not a single share is sold to japan, not a single free zone is created for japs, not a single inch of any port given for free . Now compare and do your own math.

First, is there any proof of that interest rate? Second, the analogy with Japan is bad. How much is Japan investing relative to the size of your economy? Japan isn't investing in a trade route between India and Japan. That's what CPEC is. Completely different scenario.

Did you read the article yourself?

The 5% is the rate of interest charged to Chinese companies that are investing in these projects and will be paid by the Chinese companies and not by Pakistan government.

Oh and as for India and Japan deal.

Are you telling me chinese companies will pay the interest from their pockets ? thats so innocent of you.

No big deal as the price of the high speed train project he is referring to has all the interest costs build into to the price. So India is in fact paying all interest in a manner where politicians can score brownie points in their public's opinion. Chine in fact offered them the same train at a much lower price (but they would have to arrange financing or pay from their pockets).

Bullet train loan rate 0.1%, free in a way: PM Narendra Modi

Japan is not investing in trade corridor, yes. But it is investing in industrial corridor, the quadrilateral project of india. Google JICA and india, its involved in many projects.

No Sir! Please read the thread as this was answered already. But anyway, Pakistan will buy the electricity from these companies at Rs. 10 per unit for 20 - 25 years and therefore Chinese companies will mint money in the long run while Pakistan will still be purchasing this power for much less than it was costing them with the furnace oil run plants.

Is the post above you correct that the interest is built into the price? If so, this interest rate is hollow.

Keep in mind, using one a single project as an example does not mean much. If you can show that repeated over dozens of projects then you might have a point. CPEC, for example, involves dozens of individual projects, each financed in its own way. Some loan, some BOT, etc.

I still stand by the fact that Japan has different stakes in the project you mentioned compared to the stake China has in CPEC. It plans to use CPEC to do at least some of its trade down the road. Also, as an added bonus, having Chinese work on this directly means less likelihood of corruption and faster progress. I bet you can't say the same about the bullet train project.

There's a lot of propaganda out there from our 'concerned friends' around the globe. Just trust official sources of the Chinese and Pakistan for news on the project. China is not trying to take over Pakistan.

That's why I put it in quotation marks. Imbeciles the lot of them.

Ok. The early harvest projects i.e the Power Plants are Chinese investment. Chinese companies have setup the plants and no loans are not involved here i.e Pakistani Govt is not reapying loans here. What this article tells us is that the Chinese companies got a loan at 5%. Now what is important here is the Return on Investment promised by Pakistan on these projects, which is around 30%. So the Chinese have got some very nice deals here.

Infact, the Chinese have realized the issue of non payment to IPPs and have asked the Govt to set up a revolving fund for the Chinese Power projects so that timely payment is made to them.

No You Are Misinterpreting The Article It Says The Loans Are Given At Less Than 5% If The Chinese State Owned Companies Are Given Tenders.And The Loans Are Given To These Enterprises Not Government

But Indian will say this is fake news. Indian will tell Pakistan that they know more than Chinese on CPEC.

And we got few Pakistanis stupid enough to believe what Indian say.

Bro They're Not Stupid They Are Paid Traitors

Even At 0.1% It's Viability Is Questionable

Gentlemen, as part of this "Hybrid War" against Pakistan, there will be a lot of disinformation spread by Indian media and US and Western media. Thus it is very important that any news coming out of these indians and they allies in the West are treated with suspicion. These people will spread lies, they will try to create misunderstandings between Pakistan and its allies specifically China. It is upto us to analyse the situation before coming to any conclusion.

Why is India so scared of CPEC.

Relax we are just reading stuff and killing time passing judgments. Our opinions don't matter and individual opinions are irrelevant to CPEC, GOI never made any official statement other than concerns over the disputed territory it passes.

GOI cannot do any thing more than concerns over CPEC and Doklam that is the beauty of India.
