Twist in China-Pakistan Friendship | Report: 98% of Chinese Loan to Pakistan Not Out of Generosity
A recent report reveals that 98% of China's funding to Pakistan consists of loans, not grants.
The outstanding debt amounts to $67.22 billion, 19.6% of Pakistan's GDP, higher than reported.
China has invested in energy, budget support, and transportation sectors.
This situation poses a dilemma for Pakistan: either repay the substantial debt or risk falling into a debt trap, similar to Sri Lanka's experience with vital infrastructure forfeiture.
The choice ahead is crucial for Pakistan's economic future..
