  • China’s Global Building Spree Runs Into Trouble in Pakistan

    LAHORE, Pakistan—Pakistan’s first metro, the Orange Line, was meant to be an early triumph in China’s quest to supplant U.S. influence here and redraw the world’s geopolitical map.

    Financed and built by Chinese state-run companies, the soon-to-be-finished overhead railway through Lahore is among the first projects in China’s $62 billion plan for Pakistan. Beijing hoped the $2 billion air-conditioned metro, sweeping past crumbling relics of Mughal and British imperial rule, would help make Pakistan a showcase for its global infrastructure-building spree.

    Instead, it has become emblematic of the troubles that are throwing China’s modern-day Silk Road initiative off course.

    Three years into China’s program here, Pakistan is heading for a debt crisis, caused in part by a surge in Chinese loans and imports for projects like the Orange Line, which Pakistani officials say will require public subsidies to operate.

    Well Chinese and Americans have lot of money .. they should give it freely WITHOUT ANY INTEREST where it is needed  .. Same WSJ says

    2.5 Billion Pounds of Meat Piles Up in U.S. as Production Grows, Exports Slow

    2,5 billion pounds means ~ 10 billion dollars  .. it could make whole AMERICA SMELL BAD if all that meat gets rotten ............they should give it away freely

    but Chinese are much smarter than Americans when it comes to doing business with other countries..

    ISLAMABAD: A number of road projects related to the $52 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) are said to be in doldrums as the National Highway Authority (NHA) faces financial crisis.

    Chinese initiated the projects .. they dig all over the country.............. makes holes everywhere and Now they are holding and bouncing the checks

    Quote
    Sources told Dawn that contractors have stopped work on several CPEC projects after their cheques worth over Rs5 billion had bounced a couple of days ago.


    that is today's news..

    `But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
     `Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad.  You're mad.'
     `How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
     `You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'
