May be it is time for the insolent child who abandoned her mother in August 1947 to return to her loving mother's laps... It is worth giving it a thought.

To all the optimists in this forum - there was no deal in the first place. It was actually an MOU signed between the Abu Dhabi based investment firm and Bahria Town, the Pakistani developer. However, now that is also cancelled.

Sorry to rain at your parade. Bette luck next time guys.

some people

looks like a typical illogical sentiments from our indian neighbour.... than again with chinese investing in Pakistan's deep sea port in Gwadar and offical negative response from the indian government no wonder any thing positive for Pakistan is seen negatively from indians,...

nice to know who are real friends are.. thank you for confirming this.

reminds me what ex-ISI general Asif Durrani commented on the indians.... "when it comes to Pakistan, indians become incredibily stupid"

Yes pls quote ISI on matters related to India, surely that is the best most unbiased source one can get on all things India.

FYI same ISI said a lot of things about whereabouts of OBL also, we all know how that turned out.

@ponder

clearly you have no idea what you are talking about.. China is friends with Pakistan for a great many resasons which perhaps beyond your ability to understand.

Take the case of Gwadr port which the heavily being invested by chinese for economic reasons i.e. to cut container time to export to africa and middle east.

the rest of your comments are simply too idiotic to comment on.

@ponder

Again you dont understand the Chinese, you have no idea how much geniune assistance they have give us.. i dont even where to start on thier assistence to help Pakistan energy crisis (which was fustrated by this horribly corrupt government) to defence needs. They are just waiting the govenment to leave and then firework will really begin.

There was a reason why Gen Musharaf has on record stated that Pakistan has 4 all weather friends and China was one of them. Clearly unlike you he knows what he is talking about.

PRC is using Pakistan quite effectively, trust me I understand PRC a lot more than the avg Pak nationalist does.

You deny that China sold you locomotive engines that failed?

Gwadar is very useful for China but again you miss the fact that it does them good primarily and you secondarily. PSA is one of the best if not the best port operator in the world, they got driven out after being fed up.

Gwadar was and most probably will be a commercial failure due to poor security, the Baluch know that its not made for their benefit. With PLA(N) or Pak Military forcibly securing it will only further ensure its commercial failure even if it is a "strategic success" - then the rules will change again by the US/India/Iran & Baluch descendants in the Middle East who dont want to see this succeed on their spilled blood.

China will use you for its strings of pearls, sell you anything & then do real biz with say US, Japan & Ind as it has always done.
