Quote:On the road in the Karakoram

Yooo'w! I love this! the flavor is absolutely right..like Fridays in Port of Spain. action fuh so..excitement...hustle, food and bacchanal. money is the theme and trade the activity... and sometimes fight too.

oh god! wud life be so sweet all the time..intense, colorful. oh man

Quote:Traveling the Karakoram from Gilgit, the capital of the Northern Areas, to the Khunjerab and back is an exhilarating road trip along CPEC and its spin-offs. And it’s a crazy carousel.

Psychedelic Pakistani trucks, Chinese container road warriors – some trying to subdue the Khunjerab without chains on their tires – packed minivans plying the Hunza-Xinjiang route, Silk Road motels, the smell of curry interfacing with the best apricot juice in the world, roadside butchers, shacks advertising themselves as “Silk Road Investment & Credit Society Ltd,” many a Pak China Gateway Hotel, checkpoints consisting of a roadside table and a bunch of papers kept from flying away by pebbles, stashes of yuan crisscrossing rupees and dollars and messy, multi-level “people to people exchanges.”

Quote:The China-Pak embrace
The building of the original Karakoram – an engineering tour de force – took no less than 27 years and claimed the lives of over 1,000 Chinese and Pakistani workers.

The Karakoram Highway is much more than a road; it’s a rolling, graphic emblem of the China-Pakistan geopolitical embrace, surmounting all manner of economic, cultural, geological and security barriers over decades to the benefit of a strategic objective. And the strategic objective now is CPEC as the flagship BRI project.

At the recent opening ceremony of the China International Import Expo in Shanghai, where he was guest of honor, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan described CPEC, including the Karakoram highway, as a “vital link” for China and Pakistan with the Middle East and Central Asia. “CPEC is a mechanism to connect China, the Middle East and Central Asia that also opens ways for fresh investment and paves the way for new markets,” he said.

Khan also reassured his hosts – as well as domestic public opinion – that his new government is engaged in deep, meaningful reforms to ensure transparency and accountability; virtual ghosts as far as Pakistani business is usually concerned.

“Pakistan has an array of resources, minerals and renewables amidst the most diverse landscape,” Khan said, adding that his country is a leading exporter of sports goods, medical instruments and IT products, and has promising, 100 million-strong human resources under the age of 35. So, the potential is immense.

Islamabad is all in on completing CPEC up to 2030, with projections of up to 3% added to annual GDP growth, as industrial output is bound to rise with more electricity courtesy of CPEC investments and more production coming from Chinese-style Special Economic Zones.

According to the historical accounts of Chinese Muslims, Islam was first brought to China
by Sa'd ibn abi Waqqas, who came to China for the third time at the head of an embassy
sent by Uthman, the third Caliph, in 651
less than twenty years after the death of prophet Muhammad.

The Huaisheng Mosque is one of the OLDEST mosques in the world !

Trade existed between pre-Islamic Arabia and China's South Coast
and flourished when Arab maritime traders converted to Islam.
It reached its peak under the Mongol Yuan Dynasty.

you were right.

what is truly stunning is the amount of money that's involved in CPEC. that's a huge investment man..awe inspiring.

and Pepe making it sound like it so long term...but most of the time elapsed already and lots of benefits on the ground. the end is projected as 2030...11 years and 11 months to go..right around the corner

:cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

what I thought is that China would force a three party reconciliation for mutual regional prosperity. but Indian is still out. that's not good
