Even the most basic level student of economics knows that
there is no such thing as a free lunch .... not in THIS world ,
maybe in the hereafter ....where there will be virgins on couches
but NOT till we get there
the 46 Billion ( and now growing ) loaned to packland is NOT a gift
I know Xi jinpeng said the cpec is a gift to packland ....
do you REALLY believe that ? brothers ?
giving you a free lunch eh ? :biggrin2:
that is diplomatic speech
please read the small print in the contract ----do look at the details
IT IS A LOAN ....... because the smallest student of economics knows
about that free lunch guise
so china -packland is a question of ownership ! not friendship )
one of these days they will REQUIRE something of you
and you wont be able to say NO ! ...
.every loan has a maturity date and when they come to collect on that expiry date , no doubt after some extensions, they will collect either cash or whatever collateral they think they can accept and i'll bet packland will simply look on, without being able to do a thing
they will ask for territory - gilgit -baltstan ! ..... as payment not if , but when you , packland , default on that loan
( so dont bother to develop GB , it will go to someone else )
