i stopped reading at "in shipping the cheapest way between any two points is by sea" that's not correct in all circumstances, sorry sir you are in my opinion not correct. Among other things, when you calculate costs what would time? isn't that of any importance?
And there is way more to CPEC and Gawadar than meets the eye, the geo-political scenario is rapidly changing, we never would have thought that we will say Russians and Pakisani's will be friends and will be working together?
yes
only of pdf , PTI morons will tell you :-
1. land route is cheaper vs sea
2. LNG is cheaper than NG
Not PTI, plmn morons.
We have been saying this for a long time, land route only by China's western Pakistan bordering areas makes sense.
We have been shouting for ages that IPP 'take or pay' imported fuel power plants will devastate us.
Fun fact.
( The capacity payments has surpassed the generation cost of all electricity)
CPEC has nothing to do with energy agreements, FFS

The biggest problem for CPEC seems to be the population distribution of China. The western part of China is not arable and therefore sparsely populated. There is no real market incentive to ship large goods to this part of China via CPEC route.
Well, China did say that CPEC is the crown of BRI (the grand plan to revive silk route). So you cannot entirely blame the western media for it.There is not gonna be much of transit trade between Pakistan & China under CPEC. There is no mention about this even on CPEC official website. There is no planned big highways or rail track between China & Pakistan to facilitate such transit trade from Gwader to China.
But this is the main aspect that western media (CNBC, DW, CNN & BBC) focuses on and then tries to prove how CPEC is going to fail since such a transit trade is not feasible.

Manufacturing shift: Over the longer term, say 10-15 years if CPEC is hale and running, Pakistan will become a dumping ground for Chinese manufacturing.
