Now watch the Mountain monkeys (BLA) go ape on this..
Every little brats in Baluchistan thinks that the whole province is their property..."Baap kii Jageer".
You need to bugger the Chinese to invest in more then just the industrial port. And to come on vacation to spend some yuan!
I'm telling you guys Pakistan is sit on the most important geopolitic and geostrategic in the current situation, it a cross road to many energy roads either China, India...no wonder people call Pakistan as PIPE-kistan...Pakistan will make billions of royaly over enery transportation across the country for decade to come, hope Pakistan don't miss the window of opportunity.
If Pakistan properly manage this golden opportunity, it will be a huge boost to national economy and make itself as one of the whealty country of South Asia.

When the work is done tourism will follow.
Gwadar is the only gate way to get to Middle east for western section of China, once this link to China is fully operational, alot of opportunity will present by itselfs.
Some pretty hard core idealism.
Dont make any delusions, this is only to bypass Malacca straits in case of war, although i have a difficult time imagining Gwadar unloading as much goods as a few Chinese heavy industry/container ports.
Similarly, due to Chinese policy of non intrusion they won't do anything to remedy the safety which as far as i understand the biggest obstacle for development. You (Pakistan) will have to do this by themselves. You will have to do something anyway, the rail-line looks like it is going through FATA, though i can be wrong. Ain't no free rides in this world.
What i wrote above can function as an answer to you as well.

It's not delusion nor hard core idealism, China sure know the future importance of Pakistan that why we invest on the port and road infrastructure, the only concern is that some foreign powers will try to put stick on Pakistan's wheel preventing it from progress.
Who is this "you" you keep referring to
Pakistan will also spend some of its dough to get this upstarted but I do not even think the port itself is complete yet so the railway link is probably still in its initial stages.

Gwadar will also be the port CAR states would turn to in order to facilitate their own trade. Iran should also ask Pakistan about making roads linking their port Chahbahar to Gwadar by land as well as sea, it would faciliate cross border trade between Iran and Pakistan.
You guys would not spend so much money if you did not plan on guarding it, is the Myanmar pipeline to China started yet? Some Pakistanis were talking about a naval base in Gwadar for China, is there any talks about this in China??
