exactly you are correct "just around the time" but the contract was signed earlier. I that contract contains more number of reactors can be built then no problem. signing new contract will be a problem.
I am not sure if the Chasma 1 contract had options for Chasma 2 built in - the contract for Chasma 2 was signed a month before China joined the NSG.
Thats close enough for the West to have raised issues, so we shall have to wait and see what happens with future discussions. I do agree that nothing earth shattering is goign to happen soon in terms of contracts being signed with China, but nonetheless, it is important that Pakistan continues to campaign for more NPP's, and its own domestic program.
