@Adam - Chinese BRI program cannot fail ****stan, if it does this, will send shock waves to all other countries that are part of the BRI program, they will see the Chinese as someone they cannot rely on. You could ask the same for Sri Lanka. Why did the Chinese walk away? Sri Lankan economy is based on Tourism and Agriculture with no natural resources. The Pandemic and Import ban on fertilisers which meant that the Sri Lankans could not feed themselves or export its agriculture and Tourism came to an abrupt end.
****stan is self sufficient with food and has a stronger industry than Sri Lanka but really needs to lift exports and stop being dependant on external energy which is eating into foreign reserves and start to utilise its natural resources such as coal in Sindh and recently Barrick Gold corporation (US) made a discovery of one of the worlds largest Gold-copper project in Reko-diq
