Chinese
President Xi Jinping pledged to give Pakistan $46 billion in energy as well as
infrastructure projects. Most of the money would go towards a railroad linking
the port of Gwadar on the Arabian Sea with the Xinjiang Providence. Another majority
of the money would go towards making Pakistan’s infrastructure better. This would
help increase Pakistan’s GDP by approximately 2%. However, there are concerns
with the Chinese helping Pakistan. There is worry of the violent providence of Baluchistan
and how they will respond to China’s railroad as well as the money they are
providing Pakistan. Pakistan responded to this concern my reassuring China that
the safety of the Chinese workers is very important to them. Pakistan is making
its own military division in order to protect the Chinese.
