China-Pakistan Economic Corridor

India has been consistently raising objections and strongly opposing the evil designs of Pakistan to intermittently keep changing the position and the status of the vast areas of Kashmir including Gilgit Baltistan, politically and even geographically. The latest brazen move of it partnering with China in constructing the disputed “China Pakistan Economic Corridor ” (CPEC) and now proposed bringing in third countries is never acceptable as the CPEC is passing through the PoK. Whether both the countries are starved of the resources to already considerably delayed this illegal but costly project to carry it forward notwithstanding , what is a cause of concern is their invitation for participation of other countries in building different projects connected with the CPEC and accentuating interference in PoK which belongs to India. As if letting vast areas of PoK to be occupied by China as a ”gift” from Pakistan, as if it was its own territory , was any lesser measure of violating principles of proprietary and legitimising aggression by Pakistan, now other countries entering into the process of constructions with regard to CPEC is tantamount to confusing and complicating the main issue of usurping by aggression territories of India by it belonging to the then vast state of Jammu – Kashmir -Gilgit -Baltistan etc .
Needless to add, India has always been opposing and rejecting deliberate moves of Pakistan to dare alter the political and geographical position of the PoK as that entire area belongs to India which has been made clear on umpteen times including through resolutions having been passed to this effect in the country’s highest seat of democracy. This fact and reality of the situation has been conveyed direct to Pakistan as also the same from those international forums where that country continues to harp on and parroting about ”its jugular vein” – the so called Kashmir issue. In the instant case, India has termed such activities by Pakistan under this corridor as inherently illegal, illegitimate and thus unacceptable. Proposed participation in the illegal CPEC projects by third countries is nothing short of infringing India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Such activities by Pakistan being entirely illegal and thus will be ”treated accordingly by India” as conveyed by the External Affairs Ministry spokesperson makes the stand of India clearer.
Pakistan fairly knows and if it feigns it does not , in that case, it must learn that China ‘s so called friendship with it is to exploit Pakistan to its economic and commercial advantages even to the extent of colonising those parts where it could lay hands upon its natural resources and minerals especially in mineral rich areas of PoK. For that , China broadly pursues policy of lending money to , financing projects and lavishly exporting goods of ordinary domestic use to other vital sectors to various countries . It is pressurising water thirsty Pakistan for more water for its use. China has been increasingly exploiting Pakistan’s agricultural resources to feed Chinese millions . If at all it finances Pakistan’s projects , it does so on its own terms and conditions and to the disadvantage of Pakistan. It is true of all those roads and power generation projects in Pakistan where China has been investing. CPEC is being exploited to the hilt all against the interests of Pakistan but in its own interests by China and the latest move of other countries’ participation in CPEC is going to accentuate problems for Pakistan which strangely allows Indian territory but under its illegal occupation to be used by China whether for CPEC or for looting the rich mineral wealth of these illegally occupied areas of (the then state of) Jammu and Kashmir.
China draws all advantages in such a deal while whether this illegal Economic Corridor started in 2013 would really be completed by 2030 or not hardly bothers it. Pakistan is just like that frog that feels grateful to the one having put it in chilly water in first place never knowing it was going ultimately to be ”boiled” . China actually does the same with it in CPEC and in PoK . Surely , it will be fairly observed in the near future that CPEC will prove to be the same Chinese waters in analogical frog adage for Pakistan for which it will be too late to jump out to save itself . The instance of Sri Lanka is glaring enough for it to draw lessons from.
