Gwadar deep port city looks beautiful and much better developed at the back of American Ambassador Donald Blome in the video above.

If you are smart you can rent a place to 10 different fools

If you are smarter, you can sell a place to 10 different folks, without even owning it. In business jargon, it is called Leveraged buyout.

I don't know why Pakistanis are trusting the Americans, USA always back stabs Pakistan, the only reason why uncle Sam is interested in helping Pakistan is due to Ukrainian war,

America needs to fix itself, it's infrastructure is becoming outdated.

Message from US : This baby is back in our lap. Your 50 Billion dollars investment is done and dusted.

Pretty much sums it up.

Pakistan may have sovereignty, but China has the Suzerainty (along with IMF). So, it is understandable a U.S. ambassador may be persona-non-grata if China has objections. A bit like China protests if a high-level foreigner pays official visit to Taiwan.

China will decide who can visit Gwadar? Terms and conditions like these are not conducive to expanding economic portfolio of Gwadar.

American ambassador visiting Gwadar makes no difference whatsoever to CPEC.

Please calm down people. Gwadar should welcome all investment. Pakistan should welcome US investment. That would also mean no US support for Baloch separatists as they would threaten that investment.

Sadly, I think no US investment will come, especially to Gwadar. The ambassador's visit is nothing more than one done for publicity.

China may decide. He who pays the piper calls the tune. They may reasonably assume U.S. ambassador may create restlessness among the locals by unintentionally pointing out that they may not be benefitting from all this investment.

Chinese ports are open to American shipments, but Gwadar should not be? Interesting.

There had been protests in Gwadar due to lack of opportunities for locals in this glorious project.

Pakistan can benefit from Gwadar by opening it up to locals and global trade. It is of limited use to Pakistan otherwise.

Gwadar port may certainly be open to all and sundry ships, But not a high level American official. There is obvious difference between commercial traffic and appearance of interference.

When was the last time US invested in Pakistan in a meaningful, sustainable and mutually beneficial way? No US private enterprise with strictly a commercial objective is coming to Gawadar. As for the US Gov. it is only going to provide some paltry sum to a dubious org to go create some more mischief.

We have relations with all powers. U.S, China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia. We are free to do what we want. Now get lost Indian. My advice, get food, shelter and toilets for your billion+ people that they desperately need.

Do you see Pakistani objecting to American ambassador in China visiting any Chinese port or city? The answer is NO. This is not our place to decide.

But rules are different for Pakistan?

Is it sensible to tell American ambassador in Pakistan to not visit Gwadar because Chinese will be upset? How does this reflect on Pakistan as a sovereign country?

No such thing as appearance of interference - being insecure it not helpful.

If some poorly worded chit chat by a low-level official in Washington D.C. can cause an appearance of putsch, you think a physical visit to Gwadar will be considered innocent? BTW, what exactly is the business of U.S. Ambassador in Gwadar? Do Ambassadors of Germany, Japan, U.K., France visit the place too?

And how exactly Involving US into a major Chinese investment zone going to help Pakistan? Yes Gwadar isnt off-limits but then again you cannot involve two opposite forces in a similar zone and hope and pray for everything to go well.

You see you're intelligent. You understand what optics is. PDF budday and GHQ are incapable of understanding this.

If Pakistan's budda leadership was smart they'd intice America to invest in a neighbouring Makran coastal port like Ormara or Pasni.

But Pakistan's chutiya leadership is just that. Chutiya. You create problems and distrust with all your neighbours.

Imagine what Iran is thinking right now.

Chinese ports are open to American shipments. American companies are developing Chinese infrastructure. American companies can open manufacturing plants in economic hubs of China. But rules are different for Pakistani slaves.

Pakistan has been a sincere friend to China and welcomed CPEC with open arms. But CPEC has not produced much economic impact and shifted fortunes of numerous households in the country. If Chinese are imposing unreasonable terms and restricting economic potential of CPEC, how is this helpful?

WE need to question our leaders and make them accountable. Good practices such as transparency and citizen engagement are alien concepts to state on the whole, not just a particular institute.

Locals were protesting in Gwadar for not accommodating them and the state's response was to ban protests in the city. Optics, right?

WE are exploited because WE show weakness and internal disconnect.
