First of all, this is all BS propaganda by the US and others. 99.9% of the news on CPEC is a fabrication by the media whose strings are being pulled by the US. '
However, there are a few things about CPEC that always bother me - think about it:
-so Pakistan has to get in "debt" so that China can "secure" its supplies routes?
-Pakistan has to pay loan interest to the Chinese.
-Pakistan has to "use" Chinese companies and CPEC projects are using minimum local manpower.
-And then is Pakistan gets into economic trouble, it has to go to IMF for a bailout?
IF what I am saying above is true, then CPEC is a terrible deal for Pakistan. I say if the Chinese do not want to come to the party with Pakistan then as far as I am concerned, they should go and F* themselves. The Chinese need to do much better than what they are doing now, and if they can't do it, Pakistan needs to cut a deal with the US. It is as simple as that.
