  1. WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH OF LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN PAKISTAN AND CHINA THEN WHAT IS THE NECESSITY OF SIGNING AGREEMENTS?? AGREEMENTS ARE NORMALLY NOT SIGNED BETWEEN BROTHERS.

  2. Pakistan is going to become colony of China. Chinese strategy is to load Pakistan with debts they cannot pay and then grab land as they have done in other places.

    Pakistan would be wise to stand on its own two feet rather than be dependant on foreign power like China who are hated throughout southeast asia and are unreliable.

    • I disagree with you, there are many projects between china and Pakistan, like the jf17, many others in the defense field. China is not hated in Pakistan. India is very much hated in Pakistan and I believe this agreement is to screw India. India complained that roads are going through disputed land but that did not stop it and it will not stop.
