What else is going to be funded by China? Seems everything happening in Pakistan is!

Is it for free or a gift to Pakistan or is it a loan? If it's a loan then payback time is going to hurt real bad!

We will donate free shipments of " BURNOL " Crème for our neighbor on the East to alleviate burning in most sensitive areas.

it makes sense to import LNG from Qatar and Iran,

China doesnot makes sense, since they too import gas from Russia and the middle east

Did China has LNG reservoirs?? if Yes, how much quantity and where it is found??

Next we will also import our passports from China.

We are going for this project when sanctions on Iran might be loosened. Instead of negotiating better rates with Iran, we are going ahead with 700km pipeline !!

China can not be the savior of everything for Pakistan. The project does not make sense.
