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..
Several cities across Jammu and Kashmir, including Akhnoor, Jammu, Poonch, and Rajouri, witnessed a peaceful morning on Sunday with no reports of firing or shelling overnight—marking a return to normalcy after four tense days. Pakistan, after violating the ceasefire agreement on Saturday, has now issued a statement reaffirming its commitment to the ceasefire and urged ground troops to show restraint. The peaceful morning is a relief for residents, with both nations appearing to take steps toward reducing tensions along the border.

Behind the scenes of the India-Pakistan ceasefire lies calculated pressure from the United States. Relying heavily on U.S.-controlled IMF loans and military aid, Pakistan was reportedly nudged by Washington to de-escalate. The U.S. is believed to have used its sway over Pakistan’s military, intelligence ties, and influence in international forums—possibly with help from Saudi Arabia—to defuse tensions. The strategic move helped avoid a full-scale conflict, as India also agreed to the ceasefire to ensure economic stability and regional peace.
