As we know the Global Oil transit, transport cost is estimated to be around 8 dollar /barrel in the existing route
lets say china by building this pipeline saves 50 % I would doubt that
That brings it to 4 dollars if a one dollar/ barrel is spent on pipeline maintenance so the nett saving comes around 3 dollar per barrel, china would looking at-least 30% percent saving in costs for having invested in huge infrastructure .....
So what remains is .6 dollar /barrel, really what will Pakistan get other than may be employment opportunities and of course some free infrastructure this would be the case for all the chinese trade that happens through pakistan other than some employment it does not mean anything more
In your excitement, you failed to understand the impact of a single $ over the period of 1 month. And that too considering that your estimation of USD 8/Barrel is accurate for shipment through existing route.
