“Hire Chinese workers who ultimately take wages home.” It’s the small things that matter folks

"The US decided the port would not be economically viable..." China: THAT'S MY JAM

China building road for themselves and charging the bill for it as loan to Pakistan 😂😂

The 1947 footage was of Indian parliament lmao

Hilarious that at 1:46 they have used footage from the Indian parliament from 1940s when talking of Pakistani independence 😂

Well, if you have a spare $1 trillion, it is better to spend it on infrastructure around the developing world - than fritter it away in a single misguided war (Operation Iraqi Freedom).

Debt trap diplomacy.

Pakistan is the next sri lanka

Idea is to belt Pakistan on the Road. (That's the whole belt and road initiative)

With the kind of leaders pakistan has, and it's never ending dependency to rely on others, it will always remain a stooge of other super powers.

Debt trap...thats what it is

Pakistan PM :"Our economy now linked to china "this is the big statement . Pakistan on the way to srilanka .

Looks like a Debt trap to me... they walked right into it, that’s what happens when you get hand outs in the first place! There’s no partnership there 🤦🏻‍♂️

rule no. 1: don't mess with the Fisherman in the area. It leads to delayed projects worldwide, f.e. in Jakarta

Very impressive port. Very busy as well, I counted 6 cruise ships, 8 tankers, 12 cargo ships and 20 industrial cranes 😂😂 Greetings from Germany...🍺🖐

so the road is the belt and the sea is the road. makes sense

Shipping in their own workers then building them housing that keeps them separate. Locals can apply to be the janitor or checkpoint security I expect. Maybe not even security, not with CCP management.

6:05 Oh, the CCP will install 5,000 cameras, and install CCP trained police to 'maintain a high standard of human rights.'

Pakistan owes the world 239 billion dollars, and Chinese money is only 25% of it. Considering that the debt is used to build critical infrastructure, the CPEC project is essential to Pakistan. And why does no one talks about the other 75% debt 🤔

The report is completely misleading. The project is supposed to complete in 2030. First phase of CPEC, which include 12K megawatt electricity, has already completed, the 2nd phase which include Special Economic Zones is underway. Already 10 Special Economic Zones have approved by PM in March 2020 and 3 of which are already working. More than 3000 km roads are either completed or about to complete this year. Moreover, China is building two big dams which will complete in 2025.

Showing footage of india when guy is talking about Pakistan

Phase 1 CPEC Phase 2 Provide Loans Phase 3 Bankrupt Pakistan Phase 4 Provide Trust Phase 5 Take over Pakistan

To all nations, don't compromise your value.

Why are no Pakistani/Chinese interviewed, in order to have a balanced view on the topic they should have been interviewed too, I am neither Pakistani or Chinese, just want a balanced reporting

All of the videos concerning the belt and road initiative are not detailed enough.

Wtf erdogan shaking with xi 3:00 Uighers : bro!!!

Keep up balochistan ،، بڑے گا بلوچستان بنے گا بلوچستان۔

Sending out engineers are better than sending out troops

So basically China is developing a military base outside China in some other country

Laughs in uighur.

Balochistan was an indepedent country. It was overrun and annexed by Pakistan,

One can always expect US media to put dirt on whatever Chinese does.

So, give loans and only hire your own people to build so that the local people get no benefit... I've seen this movie before...

"the local people fear that they will be left behind" go ahead and show local people employed to build the residential community... seriously blomberg?

Pakistan ask US for help to build the port. US: No. Pakistan ask China for help to build the port. China: Yes. US: China intend to build a naval base in Pakistan.

Western media is the referee of the world's issue. What a joke.

As Pakistani, we are clearly seeing the benefits of CPEC in our country from communication to the power supply but the Bloomberg have made the whole documentary based on the views of those persons who hadn't visited Pakistan once. I am really surprised that they have already failed the project, based on the data they have collected from an office situated in any foreign country. I was expecting more research work rather than the pre-paid package presented from world renowned site. Bloomberg should approach to the local and governmental body for the true picture of the lies which are still propagating in 21st century.

CPEC is a great success. Gwadar has grown into a major port rivaling Dubai. Chinese engineers are safe in Pakistan and loved by Baloch people. CPEC is minting money, and Pakistan is becoming the next Asian tiger. This is all due to the honest and selfless leadership of Pakistani politicians and the establishment. Long live the great leader Xi Jinping.

By population you can count Guwader people on fingers

Why are the Chinese acquiring or controlling ports - from Sri Lanka to Darwin? Not so much BRI as military and food security for China.

The main challenge is the slow-paced bureaucracy and lack of transparency within Pakistan.

That 80 billion dollar aid cost Pakistan unimaginable lost to the economy and deaths. Poor research and biased documentary.

So called CPEC going through Pakistan Occupied Gilgit Baltistan. POK and Gilgit Baltistan is integral part of republic of India.🇮🇳❤

Looks Propaganda video instead of informative video.

Gwadar port itself will cost about 200 million. You know what else will cost 200 million? US military! Every 2 hours.

Long live Pak-China ❤️

I'm glad that She Pumpkin's CPEC is stalled. His real aim is to encircle India completely.

Wasn't Pakistan the one who went to China with the idea to build a Port in gwarder, which gave China the idea to revitalized the old silk road, aka B,R,I

US $80 bn in aid over 50 years, economic damage caused by their regional wars over $120bn to Pakistan in less than 20 years., thats the US deal.

Im from india and i don't hate pak, usa has used them for their own benefits and now china is doing the same but imran khan( worst pm) had let them to do so. Pak and india should join hand together for development , we r the same ppl with different nationality

Correct title: “How to take over the world without anyone noticing!”

Let me just say that : China is not in it for Pakistan. China like US in the past, is there for its own benefit. Its always a red flag when a foreign government creates a community inside your borders (Port City).

Pakistan should be thankful that it is located between China ( famous for its manufacturing capacity and Iran for having oil and gas reserves)

"The money powers prey on the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity. ..." Abraham Lincoln What about this idea? 🤣

Update : Pakistan has given the Gwadar port to China on 40 yrs lease means china now practically own that port of Pakistan . Looks like China's debt trap working very well .lol Edit : it's not 100 yrs but 40 yrs , but main thing is one country has given up there land to another country just becoz they don't have money to pay .

The title needs to be amended to specify the focus on gwadar.

Mr. Jonathan Hillman, a small history lesson here for you. Pakistan didn't got it's independence in 1947, it was formed on the basis of religion by dividing Indian mainland into two. Erstwhile Punjab and Bengal province divided into two. Muslim majority East Bengal and West Punjab formed Pakistan along with Balochistan, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Mr. Mohammad Ali Jinnah, then member of All India Muslim league later founding father of Pakistan had come to believe that the Muslims of the Indian subcontinent should have their own state to avoid the possible marginalised status they may gain in a Hindu-Muslim state. In the year 1940, the Muslim League, led by Jinnah, passed the Lahore Resolution, demanding a separate nation.

We can feel your pain 🤣🤣

so basically Pakistan as snookered itself. Joined in the Soviet war, won and then joined in the Afghan war, ongoing, suffered loss now indebted to Chyna.

What about the infrastructure in Afghanistan and it's peace from America

From neutral point of view, this project is huuuuggee so it will take a long time to realise this and obviously everyone also understand that. So stalled is not the right word imo

Pakistan on Sale! oops.. already bought by China by way of such projects 😂 It is said that wisdom and poverty does not go hand in hand and Pakistan leadership is an absolute example of this statement and unfortunately so is the fate of people living in Pakistan.. It can be well observed and is a ground reality that Chinese workers not only giving their people tough time to Pakistani in their own country by taking leverage of their foreign passport and Pakistan govt is helpless of course because of such investment and debt..Pakistan can soon be turned in Mongolian country and the situation will be much more similar like we are seeing in Gaza!

you know china doing things the right way when these western reporters can't find a solid reason to criticize China

5:32 dude has absolutely no muzzle control. Swept that kid and man

This sounds like a debt trap.

There's something very satisfying about watching Pooh Bear's empire crumble.

5:30 Completely leaves out the fact that Balochistan was occupied by Pakistan in 1947.

there is no point of building the port first and then connects it to the country. So, Pakistan and china is currently building the road connectivity first and then build the port later for the use.

My Pakistani friends told me the port is doing well. I trust them over any US media.

China's Belt and Road initiative has left many financially weak countries trapped in "secret debt". It is claimed that China owes 36.5 billion to these countries. China has invested a total of, 64.3 billion in roads, bridges, ports and hospitals in 173 countries. These countries include many countries in Africa and Central Asia. According to experts, 80 per cent of the, 64.3 billion has been lent to the central bank of the country concerned or to a joint venture between China and that country. But the government of many financially weak countries could no longer borrow. As a result, China has taken a different path. They have lent to a coalition of several companies. The government of that country is not directly in that alliance. But in many cases, the government has taken the responsibility of repaying the debt if the alliance of the companies is not able to repay the debt. As a result, the actual debt of those countries to China is not clear to the concerned government in many cases. According to the expert agency, the debt of China in 45 countries is more than 10 percent of their average national product. According to the expert agency, the debt of China in 45 countries is more than 10 percent of their average national product. There is strong dissatisfaction among some locals over the huge Chinese investment in provinces like Pakistan's Balochistan. They claimed that they did not benefit from the project. Militant groups have repeatedly targeted the Chinese project in Balochistan.

This video is so salty it should carry a health warning for sheep.

There is a Chinese saying that roads must be built before you want to get rich！

Many posters on this forum don't understand that the objective of the Pakistan corridor is to save time and money for Chinese goods. By travelling via the Pakistan corridor, travel time will be cut by up to 60%, as compared to travel via the South China Seas. Pakistan will make tens of billions each year from Transit fees by enabling Chinese companies to use the corridor to save time and money. Its a win-win situation for both China and Pakistan.

Why is CPEC failing? It’s because of the Pakistanis themselves, China has invested a lot of its money and wants to get it done, but they’ll never be able to complete it because it should pass through Pakistan’s heartland which is Punjab, Punjab is Pakistan’s farm land, because of the zamindari system, majority of the land in Punjab belongs to Pakistan’s elite, the army and the politicians, all of which hold dual citizenship and businesses abroad and their families live there, so it’s doesn’t matter to them if CPEC fails and they will never let CPEC pass through their land without demanding a royalty which China will never pay, so China now became predatory, let’s not forget that balochistan is not Pakistan’s land so they’ll resist, this was bound to fail from the beginning.

I don't understand why Bloomberg is so anti-China. The documentary is completely biased and present a narrow twisted view of the situation on the ground. As a Pakistani, we pronounce it as " _gaw_aa_der_ " not gwada.

I feel like the US is upset when China does this but its ok when they (the US) do it.

An anonymous Gwadar based English speaking journalist, that's a solid source.

It is called colonization of small eye😂😂

Who will think that giving ultra corrupt countries so much money will end like this..

Lol!!!! The report is so obsessed with Gawadar port which is supposed to complete by 2030. If one wants to dig out CPEC then one should study energy projects, Dams, special economic zones and massive build up of Highways and Motorways. just one example for you people. In 2013 Pakistan was short of 60% of electricity it needed; now Pakistan has electricity in surplus thanks to CPEC.

The person who made this video should actually go to gwadar and see how it is developing into something truly amazing

China gets to use their excess labor, state-owned enterprise capacity, and keep strategic allies indebted to them. The leaders of the target country get to tout achievements and are paid under the table. The general population gets desperately needed infrastructure. It's a win-win-win strategy. I'm not implying China cares about the target country, but why would/should they?

The Chinese solar system: Mercury, Venus, China, Mars,.....

Remember what happened to Afghanistan when 2 super powers were trying to use it as a chess board?

Thank you imran khan for slowing down CPAC 😂😭😂😭😂😭😂

1:43 - 1:53 This is all footage from the Constituent Assembly of India and from a parade outside Rashtrapati Bhavan. As if all the white Gandhi caps weren't a glaring clue, you can clearly see Sardar Patel in the footage. Who is your video producer? Fire them. This makes me wonder if even the dam construction footage was from Pakistan. Very sus.

Trade along the BRI has reached more than U$ 1 trillion annually. British Airways started flights to Gwadar two years ago. There is no more electricity shortages in Pakistan.

you said US spent 80 billion dollars in Pakistan but overall result is disappointing 😂😂😂. But you didn't mention that Pakistan broke Soviet union and made US only super power in the world. And after your Afghanistan war Pakistan has lost around 200 billion dollars. and around 90000 human lives

I like how nobody cares until gwadar poses serious threat to them.

The real name should belt and debt initiative 😂

Belt and road is like a fungus. It spreads its tendrils out and absorbs resources from far away locations. But the difference is that nothing beneficial is returned.

It's not finished because the predicted time for finishing cpec is 2030

Another wrong map if India, just don't include a country if you aren't going to show the correct map.

When muslims value profits more than the lives of it fellow muslim brothers

13th bailout since the 80s. Pakistan is getting up there with Argentina.

We live in Pakistan, and we know the ground realities of this project, hundreds of kilometers of roads are constructed, work of few small and 3 large dams in going on, railways lines are being installed under this project, new fiber optic cables are installed and lot more. So we don't need west or america to lighten us about it.

I still remember when Western media said Chinese won't use highspeed railways because it's almost empty( for first month YES!) now China built 75% highspeed railways in 10 years and most are fully packed and China still expand to 90% of world highspeed in next 10 years.. Western media also said Chinese new cities are totally ghost cities(actually it's not CITY it's just a community on China standard), but most ghost cities are fully packed crowded again 5 years later! I just don't know Western media is so shortsighted because your ruling party is only 4 years life, or you just want to bash China for fun? China will make Gwadar to replace Singapore, it will not only take 4 years like Shenzhen took 40 years from a fishing villege to a bigger HK.. recently American media found out Horgos became big city from a sands in Xinjiang and Kazakstan. let's wait and see 5 years later.

Pakistan will be next Singapore. Economy booms and life gets better. If China has made someone salty feel, it means China has done a right thing. Respect Pakistan leader that has right vision for his own people.

Such an all weather China-Pakistan friendship is rare.
