Its amazing how LITTLE you guys really know about the real life. A diplomatic, statesman's vision at works.....and the credit goes to China? Who brought the Chinese in the first place. It was NS's government. And where were the SAME Chinese when Mushy and Zia and Kiyani were COAS's???? They didn't want to drop a DIME in Pakistan then. Let alone $ 40+ billions worth of investment. No civil and rich country would want to invest into ANY country with military rules, dictatorships or even political turmoil.
Where were the Russian investments, the Indian PM's show of friendship through the visit, the Sri Lankan relationship, the improved Pakistan -US relationships in military's time? How come Russia didn't invest a dollar into Mushy's time in Pakistan?
For those of you, who live in a fool's paradise, the military has nothing to do with these civilian deals. The "diplomacy" you referred to, is created BY the Civilian government. Not an angel from up above, or a few star general from the GHQ!! Also, the military doesn't want to be involved with politics. This has been reaffirmed by Gen. RS. So PLEASE, let a respectable institute do what they do the best. The ONLY military involvement is during the time of tension with India. Otherwise, the military wants peace with India. The time to be a macho-man military is over. Allow a country's elected leadership to do the things the people will hold them responsible for (for once in Pakistan's lifetime). There are CLEAR examples of progress, even on the diplomatic front I've outlined above!
Its pretty clear there are many in Pakistan, who put their own personal preferences and agendas above the entire country's national interests. Just like the post above!! Sad to see this crap being written without common sense or logic.
Not going to happen. Pakistani Army has locked down Baluchistan and have clearly identified ALL terrorist leaders and they are being monitored.
On the contrary, Iran is being countered with billions of electric and gas selling deals to Pakistan. Plus hundreds of billions of trade benefits through China, going ALL the way to Europe by road. The Iranians are smart people, they can have "some" billions worth of Indian trade, or hundreds of billions worth of benefits with China......you take a guess where they'll go.
The times have changed. Now, the new "best friend country" is the one that gives you the most trade benefits. Welcome to 2016!!
Nawaz Sharif did not organised all of this, it started and planed back in 2008 that the Gawadar port will be handed over to China, and it was officially handed over in Feb 2013. As far as Chinese President visit to Pakistan is concerned in NS time, and that he announced 46 Billion dollar investement, it was planed back in 2009 that China will invest a huge amount of money in Pakistan.Gawader port handing over to China for better operations has NOTHING to do with NS giving the Chinese businessmen total guaranty of 30% return to invest into the CPEC. In fact, what you clearly don't know, if out of the $ 46 billion, $ 46 billion is being invested into the POWER PRODUCTION projects!! CPEC (the ROUTE) is ONLY $ 10 billion of it.
And its also pretty clear from your silly post that you have no clue what you are talking about. There is $ 30 more billions worth of investment that will come around 2019-2020 for CPEC phase II, when the Chinese will shift certain manufacturing into Pakistan. AND you'll tell us that the military cut this deal in 2008
.
Ever read into the REFORMS the NS government has done for investments that are clearly called out in places like Bloomberg and many other US and Western sources? If you can't research, but will continue to lie and misrepresent such critical program on here, then shame on you. I can argue and debate with logic. Not with stupidity. Stupidity has its own cycle and ends in a lot of embarrassment if you care for it (which I don't think you do, the word "integrity" doesn't exist in people like you's heads, and the likes of IK's heads)
Learn to appreciate who is re-building a new Pakistan and how Pakistan's brand has been established across so many countries. That's the LEAST you can do. All this propaganda, negative crap only makes you and then Pakistan look bad. The people who are doing the work, have already put their names in the history, NOTHING you can do to change that!!
). So how, the port was going to be operated by the Chinese cheaply. No Naval presence was allowed. And China had NO interest till 2013 to do anything there. As there wasn't any civilian government and Mushy and Zardari would be seen in the same light, albeit one being a Dictator and the other one being a Corrupt bast*ard.
I have not distorted any fact look the post again.............i have asked fews questions-----------which you clearly avoided
Actually in the long run what will turn out to be even bigger than the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor will be the Eastern Corridor.
Pak is taking a strong check on that and will not be allowed to be done .
Again it would be nice if the visitor acknowledges Pakistan's sacrifices instead of the host crowing about them.
Well yeah. So far Pakistanis are counting on it being a toll booth to unload goods at dock and send them to western china and that this would change the fortunes of Pakistan.
