Where did you get that impression? Investing 46b dollars in a country is really not a sign of abandoning her.
I am sure that is not the message Chinese received.
Pakistan is still receiving huge amount of military and economic aid from American each year.
Well, India really need to review its communication capability. Obviously, neither China, nor Pakistan feels that.
And India will not be part of the reason if PRC fails in Pakistan. Be assured about that. The Americans know that. The Pakistan people know that.
Has anyone told you that you should start your analysis from ground reality instead of your own emotional belief?
God, I really don't know what you are talking about! You are talking something happening on another planet.
Even North Korea did not get 42 billionsss - but why and that is a much closer alliance and even has history of comrade and companionship. Was it because the 42 billionsss equivalent was done much earlier and it was a guise for making it a hegemony and military control. What is the breakdown of 42 Billions in Pakistan and wont Pakistan people ask that eventually.
PRC has planned it. Pakistan wants to be part of bigger group and feeling but it knows when to react - Soviet Union, America, India.
Please don't treat Pakistan to be kids and with lessened common sense. That is extremely dangerous.
You seem to discount any disturbance and obstruction and even delinquency happening between PRC and Pakistan. You think Pakistan is absolutely under PRC control.
When they ask and have questions. Do you think the response from PRC will be of comrade and companionship.
When they want more. When they doubt. Even with India the PRC wants a red carpet.
What happens if there is no development and advancement ... they already see how PRC behave and you can see from within Pakistan that analysis of PRC (the ground reality) and it goes all the way to the top (dont worry not all the way like you think but God knows the truth).
Do you think Pakistan will not have questions. Do you think Pakistan will not ask why PRC try and abandon it. Do you think Pakistan will not ask why "quite happy" but not "happy".
One reason why the West and America hand is still held on but the massive distance is the safeguard it has because Pakistan does not like being double crossed.
The funny thing and it hits the emotional chord strongly is that PRC does not even like Pakistan (making it the "first" demonstration of outward investment never done before is LOL). It is being used explicitly and Pakistan is not going to be silent about it. Too many references that Pakistan is being used to by PRC for a purpose.
That way why is it easy to make PRC think of abandoning Pakistan and also the reality that Pakistan will think why PRC wants to abandon it. To deviate that PRC will only announce and make Pakistan feel like you say "emotional beliefs" that they are Iron brothers, sky high, water deep and Yahya Khan ... that is the ground reality.
Pakistan is not a bunch of idiots that PRC is making them out to be. PRC knows it has (many different types of) restive characters on the far west.
Another funny thing is that PRC people and interlocutors are able to talk with sense and even touch emotional chords. Try doing that with a angry Pakistan. Pakistan is not a Myanmar.
I add a small passage here on India (i leave the ground reality and emotional beliefs for later) ***** there have been clear instances where the message has been that we want Pakistan to continue and have no ill to the Pakistan people. Shimla Agreement is one. There are other at least two big examples. Another will be when there is India vs PRC investment and competition inside Pakistan. Will Pakistan have the strength and will power to be ordinary.
Please go ahead with Pakistan. Please do not disappoint Pakistan. PRC is the favorites there is no pressure.
"Pakis ought to demand better terms and benefits in terms of the service they are providing and have provided to PRC some will say. One might say that this service will be in perpetuity and everyone knows when Pakis feel and react when they are not given enough respect and terms according to what they deserve which some will say is justified according to their status."
Does PRC want such a Perpetuity. Will PRC be afraid of the angry Pakistan and Pakistan will demand more and more. But there is talk of abandoning it !! PRC is pragmatic and knows that and that is one good thing which I am sure is taken into account and they will be able to convince the Pakistan people of not making it "happy" and reasons why.
I am sure PRC interlocutors that manage the PRC policy that are pragmatic start analysis from ground reality instead of emotional beliefs. PRC become a reason for Pakistan and India closeness (dont be surprised to hear this more and more). In fact PRC will try and say that themselves but Pakistan will read through it this time.
-----> The physical connection of Pakistan is through a small passage way on the furthest of the furthest far west of PRC.
-----> PRC leaders would like PRC not to be bothered with such second-rate thinking (that takes up unnecessary energy and struggle that is injurious to its health) and would prefer a more advanced coordination and complexion that is develop on the PRC nation.
The above is all a emotional belief.
