The cash-strapped country, which is struggling to save itself from a balance of payments crisis, thanked China for offering a discount of $100m and for not rescheduling the costs despite the deferment of the project, originally set to begin two years earlier in 2021.
Pakistan is in a fucked up economic position and have pivoted to the west again after Imran Khan was removed from office and arrested.
I really doubt Pakistans ability to pay for it. China will probably end up giving more discounts to them.
Pakistan is China's biggest ally in the region, too bad its Elites are so corrupt and most in the pockets of the US. Most of their Generals have been trained in the US. More result of the horrible Sino-Soviet, just imagine no Sino-Soviet Split and USSR-China-India were aligned...
would be a potential unimaginably high cost in one of the most likely countries in the world to have a land war, it’s nice to have nuclear power but if this current war has taught us anything nuclear power plants will not be kept out of a war for safety reasonsnot advocating for them not to have it, but it’s a real big picture concern
awesome. oil imports fucked up Pakistan, reducing oil dependence is super poggers.When China visits, they bring state of the art nuclear power plants.
When Westerners visit they bring lectures.
Pls come to South Africa with this, I can't take load shedding/rolling electricity blackouts no more.
Russia tried, but they fucked up the deal by being blatantly corrupt and shady as hell.
