Pakistan could overtake India in trade with China in eight years: official

[Black Tornado]

China is one such country with whom enhancing trade by anyone means increasing imports. Can’t imagine India signing RCEP, was good that we backed off with RCEP.

Pakistan will take a lot of what is currently Indian business in the coming future. The advantage of CPEC, in particular, better connectivity, has allowed me to increase my company's business with Pakistani vendors significantly compared to 2 years ago. Pakistani vendors are getting better at matching even bettering the landed cost of their competitors - something they couldn't do a few years back. This trend will continue to be more apparent over the next 3-5 years.

As said by one of your economists. You'll most likely be seeking aid from Bangladesh by 2030. CPEC is just smoke & mirrors.
Anyways, I like your positivity. Also, quick question - Do you really think China will maintain a positive trade balance with you?
