When China builds Roads, Ports & Rail to other countries, some call it “invasion”. When America drops bombs on other countries, some call it “liberation,” But without infrastructure poor countries remain in a "Poverty Trap of Stagnation". Infrastructure is the essential platform for countries to grow and modernize.
I personally have taken Benifit as a Pakistani from cpec for atleast 2 years . Supplied them 1000s of tons of Steel for their projects 👍👍 . Thank you china 🇨🇳
Anime boy not these days that area has now been completed . Surprisingly they did cal this week wanted few hundred tons . They might start a new area . But for now I’m not . :D but this project gave the working capital I needed
Well being a Pakistani, I will add that the majority of funding goes to energy projects...and it has already brought in advantages it was supposed to bring...the power outages of 6 to 12 hours a day have been cut to virtually nothing...and yes the electricity is expensive...but there were no easy solutions...if it goes wrong, the blame goes tunnel visioned Pakistani leadership and not the Chinese...the Pakistani and Chinese interests are very well aligned though
Electricity is expensive due to the poor quality of transmission system and not primarily due to power production costs. The transmission system is old uses poorer material
@@ahmadsaeed1400 somewhat right...but there are some very tough IPP contracts too...not chinese only though...Qatar LPG deal was a tough...Pakistan has to look towards Iran somehow to lower the logistic cost...
Its funny how Simon terms Chinese economic policy as "Neo-Colonialism" but does not use such terms when US occupies any country via coup. Nice finding Sinom, great work
When has Simon had to talk about US using a coup recently, I would imagine he would describe it as the same? Also if you accept help from China you lose much more freedom than if you accept help from the US.

Unfortunately West don‘t see eyes to eyes with China, otherwise Western countries will see the value in these projects and will invest in Pakistan too. Even Korean, Japan and Taiwan can come and set up their factories there.
Take it from another western man. The deal that China did with Sri Lanka was still far more favorable than the USAs usual strategy of just installing a leader and buying him off while the public starve. Here Sri Lanka actually had a chance to benefit but just didn't uphold their part of the deal. Some might argue that it wasn't a fair deal to begin with, but at least Sri Lanka had a choice. It's insane to me that no one seems to judge China compared to the US. The US spies on it's population and lies about it, puts immigrants and children in cages and they have started more wars in my lifetime than I care to count. But China is the country that everyone is worried about.

Umm... Pakistan already has 4 metro lines operational with the first being in Lahore, opened back in 2013. The other 3 have since been constructed in Islamabad, Multan and recently in Peshawar. And these metro lines do not fall under CPEC either. Now, some might argue that those are BRT (Bus Rapid Transits) but they're still metro lines anyways with dedicated and segregated routes (both on ground and elevated) and stations etc... doesn't really matter whether there is a long bus or a rail running on that. The Orange Line in Lahore is the first metro rail project to be precise. But even then, Karachi Circular Railway was a sort of metro rail that ran throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s until it went defunct at the turn of the century due to excessive corruption and disrepair.
Really glad to see someone making a video on this, it’s so massive. It goes from everything to roads and ports to tanks and ships and whatnot. The debt trap part is partly true, but not completely, it’s really helped us here in Pakistan. There’s so much noticeable difference. And it will be a net positive for us.

Very informative video. But please note that Baluchistan is not a disputed region. It is very much sovereign Pakistani territory. Unlike Kashmir, no other country lays a claim to any part of Baluchistan province. There is a separatist movement going on there, which receives assistance from our enemies. But it has been largely neutralized over the past few years.

@@romananedb4117 Ahh not quite dude. There was never a war (post WW2) with Japan, Taiwan and Mongolia; That's just flat out wrong. And as for India, Vietnam and Tibet, Things are much more complicated than that... Well not really if you read history. The disputed territory in India were taken away from China during the Qing Dynasty by the British and was never recognised, thus the contention. And it was India that provoked the war with Nehru's forward policy. Some Indians considered it to be one of India's biggest mistakes and wonder what Sino-Indian ties might look like today had Nehru accepted Zhou Enlai's proposal of swapping Askai Chin and South Tibet or something like that, But India at the time wanted all of it. The island disputed between China and Japan (and also Taiwan) use to be also part of the Qing Dynasty, but was annexed by Japan in 1895 along with Taiwan. When WW2 came to an end, The United Nations agreed to give the islands to the Republic of China. But since the Republic of China lost the civil war to the Communist, and had to escape to Taiwan, the legal status of the islands became complicated, especially with the growing threat of communism to the US. But both the PRC and ROC (Taiwan) have never waged a war against Japan for it lol. Taiwan, like I said, is officially called the Republic of China, and the Chinese civil war never officially ended, so Aggressions happened from both sides for obvious reasons. The PRC consider itself as the successor state of the Republic of China, which is why they claim Taiwan. The KMT party, and a few other minor parties, on the other hand claim the ROC to be the legitimate government of all of mainland China, plus every land the was still part of the Qing Dynasty in 1911. the DPP of course wants Taiwan to be an independent country, but the other parties will never allow it. We might see a military coup by pro KMT generals if Tsai Yingwen ever declares independence much sooner than the PLA can mount an invasion. The situation in Taiwan always depends on which party is in power. If the DPP is in power, there would be, as you would see in the news, a lot of acrimony; if the KMT is in power, then Taiwan would have a cordial albeit wary relation with the Mainland. Tibet - the legal reason is because it was part of the Qing Dynasty and both the ROC and PRC claim it because they are the successor state - the Qing emperor abdicated and all its territories were handed over to the new government. Tibet gained de facto independence for a few decades when China was in the midst of a several decade long civil war, but the independence of Tibet was never recognised by China's successor governments nor by the League of Nations (which to be fair was a pretty useless organisation) The real reason on the other hand is because Tibet is a highly valuable strategic place with a lot of fresh water supply. If China didn't get Tibet, India would. "Parts of Mongolia" I'm not sure what you're referring to. Mongolia at one point was, as you can already tell, part of the Qing Dynasty and was also briefly part of the early Republic of China until it splintered away thanks to Russia intervention. The ROC still considers Mongolia to be part of China, while the PRC has recognised Mongolia since 1949 and has NEVER waged war with Mongolia because it was a satellite state of the Soviet Union who wanted a buffer state. Thats the whole point of an independent Mongolia; a buffer state for Russia like Poland. As for Vietnam, After WW2, the United Nation granted all of the South China Sea to the Republic of China, and just like the island dispute with Japan, Communist China Defeated the Nationalists and so the legal status of the Islands in the region became complicated especially when other SEA nations also began claiming it when the rich resources of the region became apparent. Essentially what I'm trying to say is, if life was a Hearts of Iron game, China would have cores on all those territories, so none of these 'aggressions' are exactly unwarranted. And this is in comparison with other Great Powers like those in Europe and America who have in the past annex other countries out of the blue for their resources, strategic reasons, or just simply competing in the "great game" to see who gets the most land. I mean America and her allies still do that today with the Middle East and Latin America and Africa -- bombing and killings tens of millions of brown people and staging coups against their governments so they can become marionette states which is infinitely less tame than China reclaiming territories it never gave up on.
Let's not forget some of the other primary monuments (in the US), such as Washington Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Monticello, Arlington National Cemetery, etc. Perhaps a US Monuments channel? Simon says (LOL) that the majority of his viewers are American. 🤔
Actually, Sri Lanka sold 70% of Hambantota port to China because it needed the money. Sri Lanka was and still is seriously in debt, much of it at interest rates like 6%. The Hambantota port was financed at 1.5% so what Sri Lanka did with the money was pay down some of its 6% debt then kept the 1.5% debt to China. As you can see from the facts, the statement that "we'll just take that port for a hundred years" is quite wrong. Sri Lanka asked China to buy a 50 year lease in order to alleviate Sri Lanka's debt problems with its western lenders. A bit of honesty wouldn't go astray here.
Me, being a Pakistani agree with your suspicions regarding CPEC, but at the same time I am very hopeful for a delevoped and prosperous Pakistan... Loved your video. 💜🇵🇰💜
It won't be debt trap as they said. China is after some money for sure, but when you are poor, you don't have a lot value. Take some land or a port? It's not worth that much. But after Pakistan get developed and people become rich, China can earn a lot more by trading.
This is one of China's ways of exporting more goods, from its industrial powerhouse of an economy... While I do think there are questionable motives behind it... They are building and improving the infrastructure of many nations around the world... Something the British industrial revolution did with those same countries... While its not an empire in name, it certainly is political influence over large swathes of the world, like in Africa and in Asia.
Don’t connect the bloody westerns attitude to Chinese... Western dominated the world and still. Look at France 🇫🇷 what is doing with African nations for hundreds of years.. Uk 🇬🇧 recently stole Venezuela’s gold..
you can't compare that, look at India's crippled infastructure that was setup by the British and comapre that to Singapore that built their own - all the countries that were "built" up by Britiain were done at significant cost to the colonised country. This is an age old argument that has thoroughly been debunked in academia. The argument usually boils down to - yes yes genocide BUT RAILWAYS and GOVERNMENT CLERKS.

I don't have any expectations from my Pakistan government, so atleast China has come like a savior for us. We don't want to be known as Somalia of Asia. We need education for 70% population, money for 60% people living below poverty line, employment, poor infrastructure, solutions for safety and terrorism and China is the one who can provide all these to us. Most important, China is the one who can give befitting reply to India and China can stand with us against India. India thinks that it can do anything with its Money and power but it forgets that China is with us and China save Pakistan like a father protects his son.

sigh, most of the debt that Sri Lanka owed was to western banks and corporations, Chinese loans were something like 10% of the dbet. But who controls the media and who do you think they blame, while quietly robbing Sri Lanka, like always. look in to the Goldman Sacks 3 billion dollar fine they had to pay in Malaysia, that is typical capitalism.
You can heard about China-Pakistan ecnomy, China-Egypt industriel park, china-Thailand high-speed railway, china-sri lanka port, china-Russia pipeline of gas, You ever heard any plan for Indian or other English-Speaking countries?
There is nothing to build in China anymore, there are lot ghost towns there. So inorder to maintain the growth of construction sector chinese govt exported them to other countries. They give the loan to poor countries, with the terms that only chinese companies will complete the project and all raw material will be brought from china. The country sure get infrastructure but it doesn't revive their own industries which is important part of any project. Pakistan will pay 65b dollar with 3.5% annual interest. Imagine the boom in Pakistani construction sector and other industries if they had got this project. 65b$ would be pumped in Economy and plus long term revival of that sector. Exports would be increased.
@Qabileghor yup construction sector of Pakistan isn't experienced to handle mega projects. My bad. Well let's see after ,2040 how it will change Pakistan. I'll be 42year old till then.

Small correction: Baluchistan is not a disputed region. It has seen some separatist activity in the past but it’s almost entirely Pakistan-Aligned. Kashmir is disputed between Pakistan, India and China.
No it’s not, never has been, no country sees it as such, nice try desperate Indian, remember that there’s 29 separatist movements in India. The only one in Pakistan is a designated terrorist group by the USA, the UK and the UN.

And these metro lines do not fall under CPEC either. Now, some might argue that those are BRT (Bus Rapid Transits) but they're still metro lines anyways with dedicated and segregated routes (both on ground and elevated) and stations etc... doesn't really matter whether there is a long bus or a rail running on that.
The Orange Line in Lahore is the first metro rail project to be precise. But even then, Karachi Circular Railway was a sort of metro rail that ran throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s until it went defunct at the turn of the century due to excessive corruption and disrepair.

@@ororochi India(Akshai Shin and Arunachal Pradesh), Vietnam, Japan , Taiwan , Tibet and parts of Mongolia.
@@romananedb4117 Ahh not quite dude. There was never a war (post WW2) with Japan, Taiwan and Mongolia; That's just flat out wrong. And as for India, Vietnam and Tibet, Things are much more complicated than that... Well not really if you read history.
The disputed territory in India were taken away from China during the Qing Dynasty by the British and was never recognised, thus the contention. And it was India that provoked the war with Nehru's forward policy. Some Indians considered it to be one of India's biggest mistakes and wonder what Sino-Indian ties might look like today had Nehru accepted Zhou Enlai's proposal of swapping Askai Chin and South Tibet or something like that, But India at the time wanted all of it.
The island disputed between China and Japan (and also Taiwan) use to be also part of the Qing Dynasty, but was annexed by Japan in 1895 along with Taiwan. When WW2 came to an end, The United Nations agreed to give the islands to the Republic of China. But since the Republic of China lost the civil war to the Communist, and had to escape to Taiwan, the legal status of the islands became complicated, especially with the growing threat of communism to the US. But both the PRC and ROC (Taiwan) have never waged a war against Japan for it lol.
Taiwan, like I said, is officially called the Republic of China, and the Chinese civil war never officially ended, so Aggressions happened from both sides for obvious reasons. The PRC consider itself as the successor state of the Republic of China, which is why they claim Taiwan. The KMT party, and a few other minor parties, on the other hand claim the ROC to be the legitimate government of all of mainland China, plus every land the was still part of the Qing Dynasty in 1911. the DPP of course wants Taiwan to be an independent country, but the other parties will never allow it. We might see a military coup by pro KMT generals if Tsai Yingwen ever declares independence much sooner than the PLA can mount an invasion. The situation in Taiwan always depends on which party is in power. If the DPP is in power, there would be, as you would see in the news, a lot of acrimony; if the KMT is in power, then Taiwan would have a cordial albeit wary relation with the Mainland.
Tibet - the legal reason is because it was part of the Qing Dynasty and both the ROC and PRC claim it because they are the successor state - the Qing emperor abdicated and all its territories were handed over to the new government. Tibet gained de facto independence for a few decades when China was in the midst of a several decade long civil war, but the independence of Tibet was never recognised by China's successor governments nor by the League of Nations (which to be fair was a pretty useless organisation) The real reason on the other hand is because Tibet is a highly valuable strategic place with a lot of fresh water supply. If China didn't get Tibet, India would.
"Parts of Mongolia" I'm not sure what you're referring to. Mongolia at one point was, as you can already tell, part of the Qing Dynasty and was also briefly part of the early Republic of China until it splintered away thanks to Russia intervention. The ROC still considers Mongolia to be part of China, while the PRC has recognised Mongolia since 1949 and has NEVER waged war with Mongolia because it was a satellite state of the Soviet Union who wanted a buffer state. Thats the whole point of an independent Mongolia; a buffer state for Russia like Poland.
As for Vietnam, After WW2, the United Nation granted all of the South China Sea to the Republic of China, and just like the island dispute with Japan, Communist China Defeated the Nationalists and so the legal status of the Islands in the region became complicated especially when other SEA nations also began claiming it when the rich resources of the region became apparent.
Essentially what I'm trying to say is, if life was a Hearts of Iron game, China would have cores on all those territories, so none of these 'aggressions' are exactly unwarranted. And this is in comparison with other Great Powers like those in Europe and America who have in the past annex other countries out of the blue for their resources, strategic reasons, or just simply competing in the "great game" to see who gets the most land. I mean America and her allies still do that today with the Middle East and Latin America and Africa -- bombing and killings tens of millions of brown people and staging coups against their governments so they can become marionette states which is infinitely less tame than China reclaiming territories it never gave up on.

Actually, Sri Lanka sold 70% of Hambantota port to China because it needed the money. Sri Lanka was and still is seriously in debt, much of it at interest rates like 6%. The Hambantota port was financed at 1.5% so what Sri Lanka did with the money was pay down some of its 6% debt then kept the 1.5% debt to China. As you can see from the facts, the statement that "we'll just take that port for a hundred years" is quite wrong. Sri Lanka asked China to buy a 50 year lease in order to alleviate Sri Lanka's debt problems with its western lenders. A bit of honesty wouldn't go astray here.
Ah so “we’ll just take the port for fifty years”
Me, being a Pakistani agree with your suspicions regarding CPEC, but at the same time I am very hopeful for a delevoped and prosperous Pakistan... Loved your video. 💜🇵🇰💜
It won't be debt trap as they said.
China is after some money for sure,
but when you are poor, you don't have a lot value.
Take some land or a port? It's not worth that much.
But after Pakistan get developed and people become rich,
China can earn a lot more by trading.
@@wwdww1230 Yes thats here! If Pakistan gets rich with the help of this infrastructure it can pay of its debt and also an eceonomicaly strong ally.

This was awesome! Please tackle the rest of the Belt and Road initiative.
This is one of China's ways of exporting more goods, from its industrial powerhouse of an economy... While I do think there are questionable motives behind it... They are building and improving the infrastructure of many nations around the world... Something the British industrial revolution did with those same countries... While its not an empire in name, it certainly is political influence over large swathes of the world, like in Africa and in Asia.
BigIdds It’s very interesting. I’m looking forward to more videos on it.
Don’t connect the bloody westerns attitude to Chinese...
Western dominated the world and still.
Look at France 🇫🇷 what is doing with African nations for hundreds of years..
Uk 🇬🇧 recently stole Venezuela’s gold..
you can't compare that, look at India's crippled infastructure that was setup by the British and comapre that to Singapore that built their own - all the countries that were "built" up by Britiain were done at significant cost to the colonised country. This is an age old argument that has thoroughly been debunked in academia. The argument usually boils down to - yes yes genocide BUT RAILWAYS and GOVERNMENT CLERKS.

As an American living in California its sad to see the poorest nations in the world building infrastructure for its people. In 20 years Californias roadways will collapse.
Wow, this is big, really big. Is there a way to stay on top of this maybe a segment at a time? Just seems so big and every aspect is huge such that it is difficult to wrap ones head around the whole thing as one project rather than many huge projects. Awesome job of presenting it this far though Simon, thanks so much for that.

I don't have any expectations from my Pakistan government, so atleast China has come like a savior for us. We don't want to be known as Somalia of Asia. We need education for 70% population, money for 60% people living below poverty line, employment, poor infrastructure, solutions for safety and terrorism and China is the one who can provide all these to us.
Most important, China is the one who can give befitting reply to India and China can stand with us against India.
India thinks that it can do anything with its Money and power but it forgets that China is with us and China save Pakistan like a father protects his son.
Logic = if this project would not have benefit for China and Pakistan... the negative buzz around neighbors might not evident today...!

Further explanation to your remarks in simple language;
The return and pay back period for construction of Home, Building or a commercial property build are longer than usual job or services....
CPEC is long-term, strategic and one of its kind project like silkroad or GT road once; that use to connect two Continents....!

Fantastic video. China's investment under CPEC is in energy, infrastructure, agriculture, security, science & technology, and port construction. I hope it will bring stability to the region.
In Shaa Allah (God Willing it will). Ameen suma Ameen
It won't bring stability because China is not stable they're thieves of Technology be careful of China they're very dangerous
China is doing these 99 year lease's in other countries as well. Being indebted to the CCP is a slippery slope.
I’d be amused if you stared at the camera and went “BLALALALALALALA” for 5 seconds
Would love to see more information on the Chinese Pakistani Corredor it sounds like a pretty amazing engineer in project there’s no reason they shouldn’t be shared with the world if for no other reason to inspire people to build… I don’t think that’s a crazy thought United States and Mexico should get together on some infrastructure projects and build relationships not put up walls
sigh, most of the debt that Sri Lanka owed was to western banks and corporations, Chinese loans were something like 10% of the dbet. But who controls the media and who do you think they blame, while quietly robbing Sri Lanka, like always. look in to the Goldman Sacks 3 billion dollar fine they had to pay in Malaysia, that is typical capitalism.

You can heard about China-Pakistan ecnomy, China-Egypt industriel park, china-Thailand high-speed railway, china-sri lanka port, china-Russia pipeline of gas, You ever heard any plan for Indian or other English-Speaking countries?
There is nothing to build in China anymore, there are lot ghost towns there. So inorder to maintain the growth of construction sector chinese govt exported them to other countries.
They give the loan to poor countries, with the terms that only chinese companies will complete the project and all raw material will be brought from china.
The country sure get infrastructure but it doesn't revive their own industries which is important part of any project.
Pakistan will pay 65b dollar with 3.5% annual interest. Imagine the boom in Pakistani construction sector and other industries if they had got this project. 65b$ would be pumped in Economy and plus long term revival of that sector. Exports would be increased.
@Qabileghor yup construction sector of Pakistan isn't experienced to handle mega projects. My bad.
Well let's see after ,2040 how it will change Pakistan. I'll be 42year old till then.
@Qabileghor since 1st phase is completed how much revenue CPEC generated last year?
@Talk the Talk ! So you will wait till 2040 to generate revenue from CPEC?? 😂 Pakistan need short term solution right now. The debt will rise day by day. You are talking like your country is sitting on reserves that you can afford to wait for next 20years till the completion of CPEC.
@Qabileghor Chinese are sending there workers to Pakistan.
@Talk the Talk ! No gallon of oil will be transported through CPEC.Its economically unviable to transport raw materials like oil through Land route.Sea routes are still the cheapest way.They created CPEC as an alternative route if India blocked Malacca strait.
Make sure you do a video on this too when the CPEC opens for business!
Cpec was open almost 3 days ago...❤️
So this whole project is cheaper than the f35 lightening fighter jet project ?
Small correction: Baluchistan is not a disputed region. It has seen some separatist activity in the past but it’s almost entirely Pakistan-Aligned. Kashmir is disputed between Pakistan, India and China.
Balochistan is a disputed territory illegally occupied by pakistan

Listening to a British man belittle 137 nations who have signed up to the BRI in full "colonizer mode" saying 'you are all too dumb to do this, can't you see that it's simply bad?' It's like Simon can't actually comprehend what is going on and what the meaning of his words are.
Thank you Simon and Ollie for the video.
Just to be clear, we don't want a slice of someone's pie. We are baking our own pie and you can come over for a slice! Lol
IMHO most people don't care about international politics, we just want development that improves our life and CPEC has done that with new cities (Gwadar), sea ports, highways, power projects, metros, railways, etc. Also, we elected a new government after corruption was found and the new government of Imran Khan audited and re-negotiated some contracts. I think the debt is more sustainable now.
