Re: Pakistan wins China investment worth $42 billion
.... The good thing about Chinese investment is it does not come with strings attached to foreign or domestic policy. ...
You think so? Think again.
Re: Pakistan wins China investment worth $42 billion
More important are 40 billions $ allocated by China for silk route . NOT A LONE , NOT INVESTMENT , DIRECT SPENDING Don't forget Bhutto founder of the Pak-China friendship . Even previous weak government of PPP worked hard for relations with China
Oh ... I forgot. :)
So ... what was Bhutto position in Pakistan government when Pakistan became the first country in 1950 who recognized China (People's republic of China) in place of Taiwan (Republic of China) ... started diplomatic relationship with China (PRC) ... and stopped recognizing Taiwan (ROC) as China ... and stop considering China as occupied land by rebels (Mao's army)... and that Pakistan did all this in 1950 against the wishes of USA, UN, and most world countries.
Hmmm... am I wrong to say that in 1950 (when Pakistan developed special relation with China) ... Bhutto was finishing his law degree in Berkeley University-USA ... and was preparing to move to UK to join for Lincoln Inn to become Barrister? ... Right?
Well ... how about 1971?
Actually, China was not a world recognized country until 1971 as in place of China world was recognizing Taiwan... and was considering China as rebel occupied land. It was in 1971 that China got accepted as member of United Nation in place of Taiwan and got recognized by most world countries as legitimate country ... It was then Pakistan also voted for China in UN
And what Bhutto was doing in 1971 ... fighting Mujib and planning to break Pakistan so that he can rule Pakistan, right?

**Coal-fired power: China shows no interest in many Punjab projects
China is not willing to assist Pakistan in many coal-based power plants in Punjab due to the costs involved in transporting coal. Gwadar coal-fired project has also failed to attract China’s interest, it is learnt. According to sources, the Chinese have not shown any interest in supporting Pakistan in many coal-based power projects in Punjab, including the proposed Rahimyar Khan coal project (1320 MW) and power project in Salt Range (300MW), due to the high cost of transportation of coal.
Sources added that the Punjab government had placed these projects in the list of first priority power projects. China also did not give a positive response to the Gwadar Coal Power Project - 300 MW. China, however, evinced its interest in supporting Thar Coal-based power projects - two by the Chinese government and one by a Chinese company: (i) Engro Thar 2x330MW Coal-fired, (ii) surface mine in Block II of Thar Coal Field, 3.8 million tons/year (660 MW); and (iii) a Chinese company Harbin Electric International has expressed its willingness to establish 660MW coal-based power plant at Thar coal field Block -4.
The sources revealed that sector experts of Ministry of Planning, Development and Reforms expressed concern at implementing coal-based projects in Punjab due to financial cost of transportation of coal but political will prevailed. **They told this correspondent that the Punjab Chief Minister convinced the Prime Minister to launch coal power projects in Punjab instead of Thar which is the source of coal.

The sources said China is interested in Sahiwal 2x660 MW Coal-fired Power Plant -1320 and Quaid-e-Azam 1000MW Solar Park (Bahawalpur).
The following is list of first federal priority power sector projects: (i) Sinohydro Resources Limited & Al Mirqab Capital - 1320 MW; (ii) Suki Kinari Hydropower Station - 870 MW; (iii) Sahiwal 2x660MW Coal-fired Power Plant - 1320 MW; (iv) Engro Thar 2x330MW Coal-fired, (v) Surface mine in Block II of Thar Coal Field, 3.8 million tons/year - 660 MW; (vi) Dawood 50MW Wind Farm (Gharo, Thatta) - 50 MW; (vii) Gwadar Coal Power Project - 300 MW; (viii) Muzaffargarh coal Power Project - 1320 MW; (ix) Quaid-e-Azam 1000MW Solar Park (Bahawalpur) - 1000 MW; (x) UEP 100MW Wind Farm (Jhampir, Thatta) - 100 MW; (xi) Sachal 50MW Wind Farm (Jhampir, Thatta) - 50 MW; (xii) Sunnec 50MW Wind Farm (Jhampir, Thatta) - 50 MW; (xiii) Rahimyar Khan Coal power Project - 1320 MW; (ix) SSRL Thar Coal BlockI 6.5mtpa & CPIH Mine Mouth Power Plant - 1320 MW; and (xx) Karot Hydropower Station - 720 MW******
