Out of the blue we willlll ssuddenlly lllaauunccchhh itttttt- *cough*cough- damn i got into my 50's writing this-
Pakistan have signed a deal with China for 6 Qing class submarines with styrling AIP and all electric propulsion system.
Reports are different concerning the tonnage, some say between 3000/4000, some talk about 6000 tons submarines.
there are many threads about the deal, and you can look it up on the Internet easily.
Pakistan hasn't signed any deal yet, there are only rumors that a deal might be singed for 6 S-20( Yuan class) SSK by end of this year.
China, Pakistan set for submarine deal by end of year, say officials - IHS Jane's 360
Yuan class(3600 tonnes) is approximately half the size of Qing class(6600 tonnes) and does not carry CJ-10 missile.
S20 which is further a scale down version(1800 ton displacement) is export version of yuan class is what Pakistan might get.
Such small subs unlikely to carry any nuclear weapons , more than that Pakistan does not have any SLBM or SLCM which can deliver nuclear weapons.
It is now believed that the contract inked between CSIC and Pakistan early last April (see FORCE April 2011, pages 16-17) calls for the CSIC’s Wuhan-based Wuchang Shipyard to supply six Qing-class SSKs, all of which will be equipped with a Stirling-cycle AIP system and will be able to carry up to three nuclear warhead-carrying CJ-10K LACMs each. The double-hulled Qing-class SSK, with a submerged displacement close to 3,600 tonnes, bears a close resemblance to the Russian Type 636M SSK, and features hull-retractable foreplanes and hydrodynamically streamlined sail. The first such SSK was launched in Wuhan on September 9 last year, and a total of three such SSKs are on order from China’s PLA Navy as well. The AIP system for the Qing-class SSK was developed by the 711th Research Institute of CSIC. R&D work began in June 1996, with a 100-strong team of scientists and engineers led by Dr Jin Donghan being involved in developing the Stirling-cycle engine, while another team led Professor Ma Weiming of China’s Naval Engineering University began developing the all-electric AIP system. The two projects entered the production engineering stage in 2007, with the Shanghai Qiyao Propulsion Technology Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of the 711th Institute, becoming the principal industrial entity charged with producing the AIP system. Incidentally, the Qing-class SSK’s all-electric propulsion system is a derivative of a similar system that was developed about a decade ago for the PLA Navy’s six Type 093 Shang-class SSGNs and three Type 094 Jin-class SSBNs.

Pakistan could sign a deal to buy up to six submarines from China before the end of 2014, senior Pakistani government officials have told IHS Jane's .

If you look hard, you'll find out that the deal was signed with the previous pakistani government.Your source is full of crap, no such deal was signed.
Check the date of the of your article ...Wednesday, June 29, 2011
Check the date of Janes article.. 02 February 2014

Maybe for 6 Yuan class this time, the 6 Qing class are in the making.No such deal was signed!!
or when was it signed, who signed it, for how much..when will the subs be delivered?
IF a deal has already been signed why is Pakistani govt saying that it might sign a deal for Yuan class from China by end of 2014?
The deal was signed between Wuhan-based China State Shipbuilding Industrial Corp (CSIC) and Pakistani Government in April 2011 is for 6 Qing class submarine,These submarines will be double hulled with a submerged displacement of 3,600 tons. It will be equipped with the new Stirling-cycle AIP and will be able to carry upto 3 CJ-10K which could carry nuclear warheds, Other features include hull retractable foreplanes and hydrodynamically streamlined sail. The AIP and the propulsion systems will be all electric and not the diesal electric propulsion system making the submarines very quiet. This propulsion system has already been tested on a number of heavier Chinese submarines.
