Pakistan is the 4th most likely country in the world to default in 2022

..but China already has this from Pakistan.

Not exactly. China also has access to Pakistani market which is 242 million people.

China already has FTA with Pakistan. China has access to Pakistani ports as well. Infact Pakistan owes China a lot of money for Gwadar.

I can see two things that Pakistan can do for China.

1) Pay back Chinese loans with interest and become profitable for Chinese companies that operate in Pakistan. This is not easy given Pakistan's current macroeconomic and political stability issues.

2) Start a war with India. This is more achievable and China will not care about Pakistan's loans in this scenario

.. but that is where debt restructuring kicks in. Take new loans with lower interests from IMF, enforce austerity for a short period, pay off high interest loans with cheaper loans. This is a well known strategy for many. FDI or finding resources in the backyard can help break the cycle and Pakistan has not found either so far

Just ask Sri Lanka how that strategy worked out for them....

We all know that our current govt system is screwed. If we look at our history we will surely see that every person in power has made sure to fill their pockets. Generals played a vital role but their were others. How could one person who is known to be the perfect example of corruption be ever made the president and how could we make a PM whose sons are foreign nationals? No doubt Ganja Snr was selected by the army, Army had made MQM to counter PPP in Karachi but we all know what happened their as well.
Lets hope for the best (which is of no use ) let see what happens tomorrow. Don't forget our bureaucracy, judiciary and almost every other institution is full of these corrupt people. One should also ask why aren't we asking our judges what's happening with SS cases? Any society or any great empire can not survive with corruption its as simple as that. Well bajwa has reached new levels of hatred.

Sri Lanka is in this mess because they delayed going to IMF sooner. Rajapaksa came to power with same promise as Imran - say no to IMF. Both countries were forced to talk to IMF again. Luckily for Pakistan, Imran took the u-turn a bit sooner than Rajapaksa

Are you a Pakistani? Are you a Muslim? What would you know about Pakistan? lol.

Don't give your opinion based on your limited information.

I know more about Pakistan than you could possibly imagine.

You can know more than me about Pakistan. But that fact does not rationally challenge my opinion on the topic

For an Indian you asked a good question.

Pakistan can offer China Gwadar and Karachi ports.

Bypassing the Malacca straits. This gives China a huge advantage.

This will only happen if Xinjiang and Pakistan become as industrialized as Eastern China, this will take a lot time but it can happen.

Pakistan can offer China Gwadar and Karachi ports.

Going over treacherous himaliyan terrain and road journey? I doubt it can replace mellaca strait. About 25% of entire world's shipment goes via that narrow strait. I doubt a mountain road can even attempt to replace it especially with things like oil.

Not to mention it passes way near to hostile territory.

China anyways has a path to central Asia and Europe via Russia.

As far as India goes, for China, India is not a big enough threat anymore.

Lol what a moron you are. China also has to go through the treacherous Pamir mountain range to reach Central Asian Republics.

China goes to Pakistan through the Khunjerab Pass. That is not the only mountain pass to Pakistan as well.
There are other mountain Passes in Pakistan that goes to China.

You Sir are a moron, there are quite a few mountain passes between Pakistan and China. Khunjerab Pass is the only developed Mountain Pass.

China is not pakistan's mommy. What will China gain by focusing so much on Pakistan?

It should piss off indians like you

Wow what a bloody Indiot you are.

China gets the ports of Gwadar and Karachi.

In return China develops Pakistan. China Industrializes Pakistan. I know you Indiot are jealous of Pakistan.

Now piss off.

 

[Solidify]

Pakistan has to focus on its economy first
