21. • The $57 billion is loan with an interest on it, So, who will return
this loan? It’s we and our future generations.
• the government has added further to the foreign debt, which has
crossed $70 billion.
• the terms and conditions are shrouded in secrecy. Even the most
informed about CPEC are not clear about the exact conditions for
repayments and project execution mechanisms.
• the energy projects will be run by private Chinese firms and the
government will be contractually obliged to buy from them.

22. • The political and economic elite will get their fair share
by aligning themselves with the monopolist Chinese
firms. These firms and our elite will take benefits from
our pockets, since the aid is a loan.
• the middle class will be happy with job creation, ignoring
the fact that they will be fleeced even before jobs are
created
• China did not interfere much in our internal affairs
before, but would be obliged to do so in the post-CPEC
scenario

23. At the end,,
• CPEC should be made open to debate
• Give a fair share to all provinces specially Baluchistan, only o,5
percent for it in CPEC
• National interest over personal greed
• The project requires timely execution, implementation and
completion of the projects to reap the fruit of the stated pact.
• Media should critically analyze the project and raise awareness
without harming any national interest,
