The rally arrived in Multan from Lahore, it will move on to Sukkur and then to Karachi after overnight stay in Multan.

The 51-member Chinese delegation and 20 vehicle car rally entered Pakistan through Khunjerab Pass on Saturday.

CPEC is not as it is made out by our Politicians. Its the next East India company. Considering how China occupied independent nations like Tibet and Xiangiang on our border and also the South China sea Islands by force. The next logical step is to occupy Pakistan first by luring an investment that is peanuts. Every Pakistani must take a dispassionate view of the CPEC and stop it in our interest. Nothing is more important than an independent stable Pakistan and we have already started to see how Chinese ambassador is dictating terms to us. So its in our interest to stop this CPEC immediately.

I met these guy in Kaghan Valley as i was traveling to Naran. There were trough security arrangement for them from Balakot to Batakundi. two policement after every 500 meters. firstly i thought that may be this is due to high number of travelers but later i understated about the situation.

Pakistan needs only China to become a Super Power. The CPEC should be Completed ASAP . The Moment the CPEC is Up and Running the Pakistani Economy will grow around 10 to 15 percent. I wont be surprise if The Pakistani Stock exchange hits 100,000 points.

@Sheraz Pakistan is only isolated inside the head of Modi and his gang. Meanwhile more and more countries are approaching Pakistan to be part of the CPEC which is a real game change for the Asian continent.

We shouldn't believe these Chinese. They are just spreading their business over our country and through that to the Middle East. But what we are going to get?? I believe they are just using us ! that's all.

We are extremely thankful to China for its sincere and all weather support and help which has been continuing since decades, for making us indomitable and ensuring our freedom. Our hearts and souls go all out in welcoming our these saviors', for Pakistanis can not ever pay this debt of love and brotherhood from China. We acceded to China our territory in Kashmir in the past, and now we accede our hearts . Long live China, long live Pakistan, long live Pak-China friendship.
