Politicians hit out at 'unfair' Pakistan-China Economic Corridor

[K.P.K]

Well it was Chinese who changed the routes as they are the one who are going to finance and built this. GOP has no major say in this. We should also keep in mind the security situation of KPK and Baluchistan as well. Chinese want to have less security issues and also want to safeguard their investment in this matter. Other routes can be connected one it is completed and GOP should take other parties into confidence before this project becomes politicise.

That's fine then find a secure alternative route that doesn't pass through our land, if we don't want it not much Chinese can do about it, see who buckles as they need us more then we need them, we are giving them a strategic edge.

Or the two provinces, poor and backward, need economic zones for uplifting

Economic zones are not produced out of thin air.

Economic zone needs people, raw material and land.

Economic corridor ban rahi hai kay nai?

Economic corridor ban rahi hai kay nai?

Obviously ban rha hai

Well you not gonna get much raw material from elsewhere other then Baluchistan and kpk

Damn the amount of Indians taking notice, sorry ladies internal family matter, don't get too happy.

Raw material is not JUST minerals.

For garment industry it is cotton.
For sports and garments again it is leather
for production and services industry man power is most important.

Remember Pakistan is a narrow country, competitively speaking it is cheaper to transport minerals than to pay the cost of insecurity and drug smugglers.

The problem is that PMLN has not shared the details of the agreements.. Which road projects are being financed first? At what cost are the Chinese giving this loan? Which part of the loan is provincial and which part is federal?

Except for these maps, nothing is known. All we hear is some odd comments... I personally know from planning commission sources that the government has guaranteed 27% dollar return to the Chinese on energy projects. Why are such details not being shared if the projects are so good for the country?

Is the federal government picking up the cost of 'orange line' and 'lahore - sukkur' motorway? And also the 1000MW solar project in Punjab? And another project on river Jehlam? Or is it the punjab government?

Why does the PMLN govt shy away from sharing the details? So it was for Metro, Nandipur, LNG and now this trade corridor.

May be the government wants to avoid controversy by not sharing the details. But, unfortunately, in doing so the government is doing the exact reverse - creating a controversy.

Yes its so true ,feels like nawaz is keeping so much under cover. You dont know how much is investment and how much is financing.
Cuz in past few weeks there came out news of coal plants and some other projects to be financed by china ,so news had ambiguously mentioned of bank loans. So its there i got startled that what is happening. so things are so murky.

Balochistan is only minerals rich

Economy corridor's first and foremost requirement is security when you talk about Pakistan....can those goods reach China<=> Gawadar safely? Is KPK going to provide some surety that none of containers will be bombed or looted? There won't be any IED attack or attack on Chinese workers? Definitely, these people can't work with their lives in an area affected by ruthless terrorists....is balochistan or kpk going to guarantee the security? I'm not favoring punjab but it is the province with least terrorism..but I wish it be through balochistan and KPK and I hope a secure trading may start through the former proposed route...

A great thing for the country.

And then begin the petty usual political, petty, provincial, ethnic shit shovelling.
What a pathetic group of people we are.

 

[Hyperion]

Nah dude, I've seen the paperwork.... loads of shit in it, many prefeasibility studies, favoring different routes have been scuttled at the 'financial whim' of the PM. Not good at all. KPK government will make it as difficult as possible for this to succeed.

Nothing but economic terrorism from Punjab. This will not go down as easily as in the past!

No sir it won't we will ensure of that, we are a new generation wiser now.

I've also been following this project for a very long time, off this forum. My own sources are nothing but neutral, and overall this is a good thing for the country. The parties as usual are playing petty politics over it.

I sure hope the KPK government don't stop this thing. This project is bigger than PTI's pride.

 

[Hyperion]

Oyen. Where, dear? Calling a spade, a spade is what it is. Nothing more. If you mess up with KPK's economic right, which, according to geography of Pakistan is it's, then you better expect some nice little crap from me. Don't even try to teach me economics or finance, btw!

Hyperion u shut ur mouth up. You are only spewing racist filth.

 

[Death Adder]

Lala let him be he wants an ethnic reaction and we shouldn't give him that pleasure.

Tashakur.

I want your honest opinion, if you are going to invest $1 Billion, your preferred investment zone will be in Dear Ismeil khan or close to taliban areas where operation is under way? Some people don't understand dynamics of regional security and spreading hatred against Punjab.

Secondly there is no change in route as mentioned by Chinese and our people on board, i would request you to give infractions to those who are spreading falsa propaganda.

 

[Hyperion]

I'll make sure we will stop this. Enough of "overall" good of the country. Every province has EQUAL rights, you can not issue sovereign state guarantees and develop Punjab only at the cost of gambling rest of Pakistan's future.

I'm biassed, very biassed for the financial security of KPK, Sindh and Baluchistan. Well look there, I support federation more than one left out province and it's inhabitants.

There should be an open debate about this.

Biach..... I don't understand dynamics of things? Do you even have an idea who I am, and whom I advise? How old are you, dude?

Because of terrorism and kidnappings traders from KPK have moved to Punjab. Bhatta khori is also another reason Karachi traders are moving to Punjab. But anyway China is investing in Gwader and some people obviously don't like this, especially enemies of state. I bet they will find another excuse to kill Chinese engineers in Gwader this time around.

Don't expect foreign investors to come anywhere near restive areas when even locals are running away from them. Some people here are just hypocrates and only know how to cry.
