Pakistan has taken out significant loans to build the power plants with the understanding that CPEC phase 2 would see a shifting of industrial ventures to SEZs by Chinese companies.Unfortunately it will be more expensive
Instead of blaming mian mansha blame the guy who made the policy
You cant make a policy of 20% RR on imported fuel and then blame the investor
Blame the one who gave the policy

If CPEC is to be the cornerstone of the BRI, the Chinese will have to invest (not loan) more, as the party seeking a new global order, in a similar way to how the US invested in Europe during the Marshall plan.
A project like this but over the Himalayas. As the Chinese import more Russian gas and oil (probably at the most discounted price to any customer) they can turn around and sell the electricity they can generate to Pakistan, and even at a point that is still cheaper then any other consumer in South Asia. Pakistani industries would be competitive and Chinese producers would still turn a profit. Some the electricity could run a rail line over the Himalayas, giving China another solution to their malacca dilemma. So it’s win win for Russia, China and Pakistan.Now I am not an electrical engineer (the few courses I took of circuit and sort also went a bit over my head), so would be interesting to see any existing power projects of this scale or what an electrical engineer thinks of this.
An economically strong and competitor Pakistan (with equal or higher GDP per capita to India) would make resolving the Kashmir issue more easier, as many Kashmiris wouldn’t have to decide between their true desires and economic stability.
