Are China's investments benefitting Pakistanis or hurting them? | Counting the Cost

  1. Hurting, since the mafia who couped and jailed the democraic elected primeminister Imran Khan,
    is stealing the money and moving it to crimnal hub Dubai for sotrage.

  2. We are stuck in a brutal circle the military handpicking corrupt politicians, the politicians then making deals with the Chinese, and later we the Public are stuck in the vicious debt trap.

  3. Democracy VS Dictatorship in Muslim Countries.

    Kisse bhi Musalmaan mulk main (jahan amaan aur sakoon hai wahan) haqeeqi jamhooriyaat nahi bulkay haqeeqi amriyaat hai.

    Kya is baat sai yea sabbit nahi ho jatta kay Pakistan ko bhi democracy ke nahi bulkay eik achi dictatorship ke he zarooraat hai?

    Ghareeb ko rotti, kappra, makaan aur insaaf chahe yea bus. Jamhooriyaat ho ya amriyaat, is sai koi faarq nahi parta. Waarna har dossra shaaks roz-gaar kay leyea Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Qatar aur China nahi ja raha hotta khushi khushi.

    Shayad Musalmaan aur Jamhooriyaat eik saath nahi chal saktay. Jahan Islam hai wahan Amriyaat zaroori hai.

    Kya khiyaal hai? Sochain zara. Siyasaat sai pehlay Riyasaat.

    PAKISTAN ZINDABAAD!!!

  4. pakistan has no choice…..there is no other country investing in pakistan , its only china. china is doing it for a very clear vested interest. all the best pakistan, the chinese have never given anyone one free lunch till now.

  5. Why is Pakistan , presently ,in such a dire state ?
    1. Agrarian Feudalism
    2 Oversized / political role of the Army
    3 Dual citizenship which means dual loyalties
    4. Extreme religious inclination
    5 Anti India / Anti Hindu mindset
    6. Over reliance on foreign powers like the USA and , now China
    7 Dominance of Punjab over other regions of Pakistan.

  6. During Cold War, Pakistan was just a hot bed to recruit Mercenaries and Extremist militants to fight Soviet Union
    Atleast with the Chinese investments would bring useful productivity to the country and stabilise the region

  7. Hmm i wonder which superpower backing those terrorist groups that only targets chinese projects hmm, also notice how this video didn't mention how much of Pakistan's debt is owned by the west? It only mentioned china's percentage
