Is CPEC sustainable in its present form? Leave a comment and let us know your thoughts.

[@sjshar5201]

Its a begging bowl. It will remain so. Just like afghan crisis was milked for years..CPEC investment is merely a speck as far as Chinese economy is concerned and Pakistan will milk it to last drop.

[@harsha0929]

CPEC is being built on PoK which is illegal. CPEC will remain at the end as one of the world’s most disastrous projects ever built. Until and unless we have a diplomatic talks with China and Pakistan, this project won’t remain forever. If India gets PoK, then what happens next is upto Pakistan and China

[@abkh5780]

Well I live just half an hour away from a motorways coming from China to Gawadar which was built under the CPEC and all the lanes of this motorways are complete and functional. Another thing is Pakistan and China can land their fighter jets on this motorway which is amazing. Well Pakistan also has many other motorways built in 90s.

[@sjshar5201]

@@MaulaJatt2 Off course its not bad. China gets to put its companies to work. The workforce is Chinese. The returns are fantastic at very high interest rate. They invest 100 and take 200. Pakistan politicians make money in commissions. The burden of loans falls on common people. Seems like Pakistan people don't know how to calculate. They are happy paying the price. Nobody's heard of cost benefit ratio it seems.

@@shikolitrevour9736 Dude china literally passed its cpec road thorugh kashmir(pok region ) which is temporary occupied by pakistan but it is part of india(signed in the document by the last king of kashmir ) , so if china is not respecting indian interests how can you expect india to do the same . Be realistic and not in sort of wild fantasies . China must stop occuping others territories because if you violate others terrirtories how can you expect that other would be willing to do business deals and co -operations with you .India at 1960s trusted china and even though it occupied tibet india still thought that relation can also be normal even if there is no tibet but what happened in 1962 was an eye openor for india , in that war china occupied some portion of ladakh and at that india understood the relation between india and china can never be normal as you can see the effects of the war till today and also in the future too. If you take out the past 2000 yrs history you will notice that there was not a single war between china and india because tibet acts as buffer between them but after 1962 war it all changed there are frequently war conflicts between china and india . If china never tired to occupy tibet or india supported tibet in that war things could have been different today .
