cause it will lead to making of a new middle class who will get employment in making and maintaing this corridoar and a covert assurence that india will never attack pakistan or the parts where corriidoar is bieng built (main reason why PMLN wants it to pass thru punjab and PPP wants it too pass thru sindh)
bro chinese always employs their own labour they r going to use pakistan labour but in minimal quantity thts for sure.
• However, only USD 6 billion of the investment is for improvement of facilities in and around Gwadar, and another USD 5 billion has been set aside for metro for Lahore and railway track from Karachi to Peshawar
• Reports of the corridor being a network of rail, road and pipelines is a myth
• Around USD 33.8 billion is for renewable energy projects to tackle Pakistan’s energy crisis; but Chinese power companies have pulled out of such commitments before on grounds of non-feasibility For example in January 2015, Chinese investors pulled out of a 6600 MW power project in Baluchistan’s Gadani
• Work stopped on 5 Chinese power projects in Punjab that generated 6600 MW
• Though Pakistan’s installed capacity is 22,800 MW to meet current demand of 19,000 MW, it produces only 12,000 MW
• Circular debt standing at USD 5 billion confronts Pakistan’s energy sector
• Gwadar is also less crucial to China as it is expensive to pump or carry oil or gas over the Karakoram range to Xinjiang
• There is a problem of resources as well. 4 of 6 thermal power projects for which agreements have been signed are predicated in imported coal as against imported furnace oil from which 60% of Pakistan’s power is generated
• Moreover, solar power projects in Pakistan are not as cheap as thermal power; sun will therefore set on these projects fast as well
• Money will be taken from old investors to pay off new ones; CPEC will remain a pipe dream
-- also wht i have heard the thermal plant tht chinese are supplying to pakistan are the same tht they are decommissioning in china to reduce pollution in their cities
