'Western countries pushed Pakistan into debt trap': Chinese envoy defends CPEC investment

[Ocelot]

what c#nt wrote that story?

All doubts will be clear if govt decide to disclose break up of the loan taken.

They already did to IMF, not a squeak from them on Chinese loans after initial hoopla.

Erm the aid was to make Pakistan tow along the lines of American foreign policy not to bring peace.

1965, 1917, Pakistani nukes, continued Kashmir border conflict - the U.S. could not convince Pakistan's leadership to stop these things.

I'm sorry mate I think you're deluded if you think US gives aid to bring peace.

It's more to encourage the pursuit of peace. But Pakistan's leaders have demonstrated repeatedly that they aren't interested.

Aid isn't given out of good heart -

What you really mean is that you cannot acknowledge that aid may, indeed, be "given out of good heart". Because you're are a 100% ace-perfect mind reader, right?

- there is profit to be made in other ways.

Obscure.

That is not a refutation. The "trap" comes not from the amount of a debt but from the terms for repaying it.

The implication of Zhao's statement - and I don't think it will be lost on the U.S. government or IMF - is that Zhao is encouraging Pakistan to screw Western lenders and repay loans to China instead.

This isn't going to end well.

Eh?
