  • Two important highlights; We export 1.93 billion dollars to China and import 11 times more from China. 1.93 billion dollars is almost paid to the imports from India. In a way we are paying Chinese to come back to invest in our country. CPEC is valued at 40 billion dollars. The money will be recovered by China in 4-5 years max through imports from Pakistan. CPEC gives Chinese a large bonus, leaving us practically peanuts. This is another economic model. Import to a country and get in a deal with them so that part of it can be re-invested back. Somehow, this is not the right model for economic development.
