China to take control of Gwadar Port

A welcome move.Recommend

there goes, another asset of our country in the controlling hands o f chinese. Whats wrong with us?? Slowly we are handing over our economic assets to chinese. Shameful. Recommend

China will take control in 2047!!! Lmao!!
With a country whose future lies in a limbo, making a deal effective after 36yrs doesnt make sense at all. Specially when gwadar is in Balochistan!!Recommend

Never too late… At least China will never use Pakistan as “Rubber” the way USA has been doing.

It’s time we say good by to US, ask them to please leave us on our own and wholeheartedly join hands with China…our natural ally and a time tested friend..

{But at the same time we should never forget that we also need to ensure good goverance in Pakistan in line with the cooperation we receive from our chinese brothers.]Recommend

Saaed, I think when China finally takes over and shows its true face Pakistanis look back to the age of America with fond memories.

Do you seriously think a country uses tanks on its own people will be truly kind and understanding towards YOU?Recommend

@sandy:
ahahah, China has ports all over Asia. Your silly brain does not understand Control.Control means Chinese state companies will invest and grow the port Recommend

I sincerely hope that the “all-weather friendship” between Pakistan & China doesn’t lead to a “forever Sino-Pak friendship (slavery)” wherein China runs not only Gwadar port, but the whole Pakistan!
Take care, my brothers. Don’t forget we are part of undivided India.Recommend

@gandoo

And you think Chinese companies are charity organisations which will run the port for free? Wake up.

The Chinese will take majority of the profit from the port. and they’ll throw a little beggar money at Balochistan government.Recommend

@Noise:
Agreed… That doesn’t mean that we continue to be servants of USA. China remains a natural ally by virtue of its location in relation to Pakistan.

What’s the harm in ensuring a continuity of goodwill between the two. If not perfact, they’ll at least be far better than USA whose so car stretegic partnership [that's also against the pak_china spirit] has always damaged this country.Recommend

i want to ask all those of you who are talking about the sovereignty of our country that what have you done for this country. you people just sit in you homes and move your tongues like no one knows better than you.Giving the gawadar port to china is a very wise decision.our leaders are doing nothing but destabilizing our country. in such a time,,, it would be better to seek help from china other than USA. China also helps us due to his own interests but till now they have no intention of destabilizing us because our stability is very vital for their existence. On the other hand USA is trying all that is possible to destroy us..China knows about all the dangers we are facing in the name of terrorism. So in order to use the port safely and provide a safe route,,, it will use its own security forces which will strengthen our armed, Arial and naval forces!!!!Recommend

@gandoo
haha, u continue rock on,, lets see who are the real fools,
40 year is good time period for chinese to transfer almost all minerals of pakistan esp balochistan to china, and it not only minerals,….Recommend

China should also send PLA troops into Gwadar for protection of Chinese nationals and the port since Pak army is engaged in wide spread anti terrorist operations in FATA and Fronteir region. Recommend

As a Chinese, I would say this port is really important for China to secure its oil supply from the Middle East. Currently, around 60% percent of oil daily import in China is from the Middle east. but the oil supply path from Middle East to China is not secure due to the bad relationship between India-China and also because the American huge influence in South China sea. they can cut our oil supply any time they want. The port in Pakistan would help us a lot to secure the oil supply and help us to connect Iran. I am sure Pakistan people also can benefit from the development of this port.

I am sure China would not hurt the sovereignty of Pakistan. Recommend

@Weiwei Dai:
Sure! China will not hurt the sovereignty of Pakistan! Then why are your troops in my country? In Azad Kashmir. Why don’t you unilaterally return the ill considered decision of gifting you a part of Kashmir? What are you going to make there? Shanghai? China has violated the sovereignty of every single one of its neighbours. Vietnam? Japan? Taiwan? India? Myanmar? Nepal? Turkmenistan? Russia? North Korea? Now you are lecturing us? Our leaders are selling us to you. But we Pakistanis will not sl ourselves to you. So keep your cat mouth 50 cents/ 5 renmenbi a post propaganda to yourself.Recommend

Strategically, its better to partner China then the USA. China is a neighbour and the next superpower.USA is in the decline. USA is too aligned to Israel and their main aim is too create disunity between muslims and muslim countries and everything they do is for their own benefit and interest.The USA is an unrealiable “friend”.They are your friends today and enemy tomorrow ( ask Hosni Bubarak of Egypt ). USA invades countries on little flimsy excuses that don’t toe its line, unlike China which did not invade any country I know off. Its best to be independent but if you have to choose, choose China Pakistan can go it alone and be neutral and independent BUT it will soon have to face the wrath of USA. USA can create a reason overnight to attack Pakistan, then what ( just like Iraq, Afghanistan now Libya and there is room for more Muslim countries on the USA list. …..). Its better for Pakisatn to get a “big brother” like China. Once Chinese have some assets (military, ports etc ) in Pakistan, USA will need to keep away. Don’t give your country away to China, but use your strategic position to the open sea wisely. China needs access to the Arabian Sea and you need protection from USA, Both need each other this moment .USA will want to attack you someday, so act quick. The USA wants to neutralise Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal, so stay far from them.Do not allow then access to your country.Make friends with your neighbour Iran, Afghanistan, China instead. The money USA gives you, don’t worry about losing it, trade with China, Iran instead to make up for it. Don’t let USA create mistrust between Sunni, shia, taliban etc. Taliban are your true friends, i love them for their truth, sincerity, bravoury and love for Allah and jihad. Don’t let USA kill your own people using drones etc. Its very painful as Muslim to see how Pakistani’s kill each other and are so disunited.The true instigator of disunity is the USA. Disunity creates weakness and the enemy wins.Its sad the government of pakistan allows USA to operate drones to kill its own people. Wake up pakistan !!! Recommend
