China to hold grand Belt and Road Forum meet next week: Will India skip biggest diplomatic event of

[Vigneshwara]

"GRAPES ARE SOUR" said the fox.

Sour grapes is all what you would have to eat when the chinese invade.

 

[Areesh]

In other words, indians after failed to isolate Pakistan have isolated themselves.

 

[Hareeb]

So why is Government of Pakistan and State Bank of Pakistan being made liable to pay back the full investment amount with " Interest " at any cost ?

Shouldn't the Chinese have confidence enough to earn back their investment ?

When did we do that?
We promised to buy the services they will produce like GOP will pay (rates as in contracts) Chinese companies -- a specific time period as in contract-- for the electric power they produce and electricity will be distributed by local companies on NEPRA rates. After the time period of contract is passed, all those electric generating companies will be owned by GOP.

Collect in what form ? You have already waived them for all kind of taxes . And as you say, the infrastructure will be operated by Chinese for 23 Years, then from where does Pakistan earn ?

Toll taxes, and many indirect taxes.

If you take a loan and default whom does the house belong to, it would belong to the bank. With trillions of dollars of resource for just $55 billion dollars seems like a good deal.

Yeah! Okay.

I see you are mocking at our 33% poor..Why do you think we need china to be rich ?

China is not our ticket to prosperity, but can be one woof the countries who help us prosper.

I know you have problem with CPEC, but you can't be so narrow minded. As China always officially acknowledge Kirshmir is a part of Pakistan, it's nothing to do OBOR's India part. Business is business.

China is hosting the forum, India is not going, Why are Pakistanis getting so worked up for? First, its none of your business. Second, if you think India is losing out then celebrate, why are you Pakistanis crying and cribbing here?

Show an official Chinese govt statement concurring the part in bold above! First learn to spell, its Kashmir, not what you got after converting Chinese to English!!

Sooner or late India will have to join, or it will be isolated. You will loose influence when the others are actively participating.

India wont be joining in present circumstances as of now, further diplomatic channels will be explored by both sides to sort out the differences

For china it's business, i agree. So what makes you think we need to send representative for OBOR ? China conducts business with India as usual. Actually china benefits from doing business with India. In 15 years india will consume more trade from china than all of its neighbours combined.

I would say china cannot let india go. But india need not join OBOR.

That being said, the real reason for boycott is the disputed part in kashmir.

You signed an FTA isn't it? Which was a remarkable move. (Pun intended)
How much toll can you collect? let's just assume 1000 trucks pass in a day. You collect $100 per truck (hypothetically). You get a hundred thousand. In other words it cost a hundred thousand to ship something to China via Pakistan. If you reduce the toll then your earnings will be affected. Is that very economical for the Chinese?

How long will it take to get the promised return? Power problem in Pakistan is not due to lack of power generating plants rather it's the problem with distribution side. You have a power surplus even now. There is no words about investment in distribution system, only in power generating projects.

What if you went default? Any idea, I guess you will go the Sri Lanka way.
In the worst case scenario may sell out lands for lease like 99 years.

OBOR may get you new business opportunity in China to recover some of those deficit.

 

[Chhatrapati]

That part we are dealing well. You can set up industries in India and export finished goods to China, as part of Make in India. Just like what Oppo is doing now.

 

[帅的一匹]

China seems to be doing a bad job trying to convince India in anything , whether OBOR or his holiness the Dalai Lama.

Even China and USA are fighting fiercely under the table, they still send delegation to China. Business is business, no one will hate money.

Don't worry about India, it can take its own decisions for its future!

There are business opertunity even now. Which both countries are exploiting. Trade can happen even if india does not go with OBOR.

OBOR is primarily for China's benefit now. India has no problem in that.

We may grow slow, but we will grow.
