test | 1 year ago | Reply Pakistan will always stand with China no matter what. And yeah Pakistan will give air bases military bases naval bases and drone bases to China and in return China will move millions of factories to Pakistan s Special Economic Zones. Pakistan will give China access to Gwadar Port Karachi Port and Qasim Port. And if China wants to have more ports in Pakistan we can also do that for China. We will kick Japanese European and American companies out of Pakistan in order to have Chinese companies. Pakistan needs ML1 ML2 ML3 ML4 and ML5 and much more to connect all the provinces of Pakistan for more robust and comprehensive railway connection because Pakistan is a third world country and most people here cannot afford to fly which means train and railway lines are the only solution for affordable and timely ride for the lower and middle income people of Pakistan. Also China will carry goods through highways and railway lines to Gwadar Karchi and Qasim Port. That s why infrastructure railways and highways are cruical for inter provinces and intercountries trade especially between China Pakistan Pakistan Iran and Pakistan Afghanistan.
