BEIJING — China’s president, Xi Jinping, travels to Pakistan on Monday laden with tens of billions of dollars in infrastructure and energy assistance on a scale the United States has never offered in the past decade of a close relationship, a gesture likely to confirm the decline of American influence in that nation.

Mr. Xi, making his first overseas trip this year, and the first by a Chinese leader to Pakistan in nine years, will arrive fortified from the robust reception to the new China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, and is looking to show that China can make a difference in a friendly, neighboring country troubled by terrorism.

Pakistani officials say that Mr. Xi will be signing accords for $46 billion for the construction of roads, rails and power plants to be built on a commercial basis by Chinese companies over 15 years.

Just as the United States sought to stabilize Pakistan during the war in Afghanistan, so China wants to prevent the spread of militant groups in Pakistan into Xinjiang, the far western region of China with a large Muslim population.

Washington tried to encourage the Pakistani government to try to stop terrorist groups from crossing the border into Afghanistan and attacking American troops, in part, by sending assistance intended to revive the gasping economy. Now, as China faces growing restiveness in Xinjiang, which has borders with Pakistan and Afghanistan, Beijing is attempting to help stem the flow of radicalism into its own backyard by bolstering development in perhaps the most vulnerable part of Pakistan.

To the increasing frustration of China, a Muslim separatist group, the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, founded by Uighurs, a Turkic-speaking ethnic minority concentrated in northwestern China, operates alongside several Pakistani terrorist groups inside Pakistan’s ungoverned tribal areas. A military operation was launched by the Pakistani Army in North Waziristan last June against the Taliban, also aimed at the Turkestan group, an action designed to please China.

A significant amount of China’s new assistance, including a port facility at Gwadar on the Arabian Sea, and rails and roads leading from the port across Baluchistan Province and into western China, will be in areas close to the tribal areas where the militant groups operate.

The route from Gwadar to Kashgar, in Xinjiang — a project officially called the Economic Corridor — also serves as a shortcut for the shipment of goods from Europe to China, avoiding the Strait of Malacca farther east.

“The Chinese are stepping in, in a much, much bigger way than the United States ever contemplated,” said Jahangir Tareen, a Pakistani businessman, and the secretary general of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party. “The assistance is far, far more than the United States government offered under the United States Agency for International Development.”

In advance of his trip, Mr. Xi wrote in a column distributed to the Pakistani news media over the weekend: “We need to form a ‘1+4’ cooperation structure with the Economic Corridor at the center and the Gwadar Port, energy, infrastructure and industrial cooperation being the four key areas to drive development across Pakistan and deliver tangible benefits to its people.”


Most striking about the visit is the scale of Mr. Xi’s aid announcement compared with the American effort from 2009 to 2012 spearheaded in Congress by John Kerry, then a senator, and pressed in Pakistan by Hillary Rodham Clinton, then secretary of state. The program designated $7.5 billion for development projects over five years.

That effort was a “dramatic failure” because the resources were scattered too thinly, and had no practical or strategic impact, said David S. Sedney, a former senior official at the Pentagon responsible for Pakistan during that period.

The Chinese appear to have learned from the American program, including the notion that the American plan was designed to deliver a strategic result — deterring terrorism — but failed to do so, Mr. Sedney said.

To do better than the United States, the Chinese have come up with “a much larger financial commitment — and it is focused on a specific area, it has a signature infrastructure focus and it is a decades-long commitment,” he said.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Friday that the projects in Pakistan would be the first initiatives of the $40 billion Silk Road Economic Belt and Maritime Silk Road plans, an ambitious network of roads, rails and ports designed to link China to Europe through Central Asia and Russia, and announced with considerable fanfare by Mr. Xi in November.

China’s assistant foreign minister, Liu Jianchao, declined to say how much of the Silk Road funds would go to the Pakistani projects, or how much the new Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank would lend. “It needs huge financing. China stands ready to provide financing,” Mr. Liu said.

Mr. Xi embarks on his visit to Pakistan after the Finance Ministry announced last week that 57 countries had signed to join the new development bank.

Perhaps just as important as China’s economic assistance is a major military deal that is unlikely to be publicized during the Chinese leader’s visit, Pakistani analysts said.

Pakistan has agreed to buy eight Chinese submarines to counter India’s naval dominance in the Indian Ocean, a $6 billion purchase approved by a parliamentary committee in Islamabad this month. The new submarines were “very quiet, capable and lethal,” and a step up from previous Chinese arms sales to Pakistan, said Lyle J. Goldstein, associate professor at the Naval War College in Newport, R.I.

ISLAMABAD — China’s President Xi Jinping arrives in Pakistan today to seal deals for $46 billion in economy-transforming investments in the country’s crumbling infrastructure, which will extend Beijing’s commercial and military reach to the mouth of the Persian Gulf and allow China to supplant the United States as Pakistan’s biggest investor.
http://www.post-gazette.com/news/wo...o-seal-deals-in-Pakistan/stories/201504200083
U.S. investment from 2010 to 2014 in Pakistan totaled $5 billion.

“Pakistan, for China, is now of pivotal importance. This has to succeed and be seen to succeed,” he said.Reuters insert ends

Most of China’s 15-year investment program, $34 billion, will go toward commercial power generation projects that by 2018 could end crippling electricity shortages in Pakistan.

A further $12 billion will be invested in the Pakistan-China Economic Corridor, a network of highways, railways and pipelines that would link the Chinese province of Xinjiang to a Chinese-financed and -operated commercial seaport at Gwadar, near Pakistan’s border with Iran.

The corridor is an extension of China’s $40 billion Silk Road initiative, a project of Mr. Xi’s administration intended to provide an overland link to Europe and to expand existing sea lanes to Asia, Africa and the Middle East through Chinese-run ports in Bangladesh, Burma and Sri Lanka. The initiative also aims to reduce China’s reliance on the Malacca Straits, near Singapore, as a conduit for its westbound trade, and make it less susceptible to a naval embargo on its Pacific coast.

China would use the pipelines to import crude oil and petroleum products from Persian Gulf producers. Before the 2011 imposition of U.S. and international sanctions on Iran, China was one of the largest importers of Iranian oil and wants to reinvigorate energy trade with Tehran in anticipation of the lifting of the sanctions as a result of a proposed deal on Iran’s nuclear program.

The planned Chinese investments dwarf American efforts, which included about $2 billion to help finance the installation of electricity generation capacity. China plans to invest $15.5 billion to supply electricity from mostly coal-fueled power generation projects by 2018, and a further $18.3 billion after that.

Mr. Xi will also finalize the sale of eight conventionally powered Chinese submarines to Pakistan, at a cost of $5 billion to $6 billion, and may sweeten the deal by offering to build a submarine refueling and maintenance station at Gwadar that would also be available to the Chinese submarines.

 

[A.M.]

As expected, patwari posts map from Wall Street Journal. I asked for OFFICIAL map from something OFFICIAL put forward by the Pakistani or Chinese government. I await your OFFICIAL map of 3-routes, I would be very happy is that is the official map, but I have not seen that in any Pakistani government handouts or promotional material.

I do understand that for patwaris, asking questions is akin to 'barking', that is why the Cyber Crimes Bill 2015 being introduced by PMLN to become law. Criticism and questioning is considered 'barking' by PMLN dogs whose masters sit in Saudi Arabia.

Read bottom left of the map.

Now put your keyboard away.

You are correct in saying that one is economic and the other is defence related. Pakistan has also helped China to defend their rights at the highest forums.

yup but the thing is JF17 is like a sign of our friendship with China. KHW or helping China to defend their rights at the highest forums cannot be used as sign of friendship to be more clear and precise. Signs are always those things which are small but much more effective in defining the thing it related to............................
