Gwadar goes red - Specabad.

[Indus Pakistan]

If I was in charge of CPEC in Pakistan and do note this is merely theoretical speculation so don't get your pants in a twist I would give the 'hammer head' in Gwadar to China on 30 year exclusive lease and additional 20 year shared lease giving Chinese 50 year secure investment.

The hammer head is 8 miles of beach and 3 miles in depth with port on the east bay. The hook that connects it to 'mainland' would have secure boundary wall. This leased area of Gwadar could be named 'Specabad' with respect to CPEC. This would encourage Chinese companies and people to move to Specabad and begin converting it into 'Hong Kong' on the Arabian Sea. The target would be to move 250,000 Chinese to Specabad seafront within decade and half. Rest of Gwadar City would be left with Pakistan to develop and would enjoy the multiplier effect from the Specabad like Guangzou did in mainland China adjacent to Hong Kong.

This would pretty well assure 99% success of the long term plan of the CPEC and over few decades would tie Pakistan into the chinese economic miracle. I think this is better than millions of Pakistanis migrating abroad to West in search of jobs suffering along the way.

As Specabad would grow and develop like Hong Kong or Singapore did it would open up rest of Gwadar and transport links with China across Pakistan would buzz with economic activity. This would create fundamental infrastructure, economic, people, social linakages between Pakistan and the worlds greatest largest economy - China.

Thoughts people?

Why can't Pakistan create it's own Hong Kong?

If it can't accomplish that, what's the difference between this $58, or whatever, Billion and the previous $Billions?

Bro, we somehow need to get you the reigns of power in Pakistan. You'd make us a superpower in 20 years

You trying to get me killed .... hahahaha !

To put it bluntly our culture, our mindset, our politics, our way of thinking is not conductive. If it was we would have done it by now. Well we did try. Have a look at Karachi.

Fact is Hong Kong, Singapore are product of Chinese genius. We need to adapt and Sinocize. But that will take time. By doing what I am suggesting speeds the process with a half century convergence where rest of Pakistan can be fully opened up to Specabad. This would give time for law and order to improve etc.

Ps. Most of the hammer head is just sand and cliffs at the moment with hardly any population. The benefits of leasing some sand and cliffs would bring about major change in the region.

 

[Kaniska]

Actually it is an excellent idea..In that way, you can secure China and its investment for long run..

Lol........no way! We need you to live and prosper for many decades.......

Well our politicians and policy makers fucked up a great port city like Karachi, don't expect much from Gwadar, whatever development that has happened in Gwadar is because of the Chinese. Remember Gwadar was promised to be transformed during Musharaf's time? What has happened in Gwadar since? It still largely looks like small sea side town that's all.

 

[jupiter2007]

Whole gwadar division should be given pseudo province status and should be develop as a whole not just the port.

I dont think thats workable(unless you extend it further north to include airport and highway connections.Which leads to include most of the present day Gwadar.That would be like just renaming the city and handing it over to China. The hammer head has its limitations.The head terrain is cliff like which leads to limited development in that particular area. Skscrappers wouldnt be possible on top of a rock. Thats probably why you have residential schemes in that area. There is a naval base on the east end of the hammer.The stem is an ideal place to be an economic district but but its not enough in space and definitely needs a push northwards.[/QUOTE]

Pointless thread since you're not in charge of development in Gwadar.

No but constructive discussion and ideas like Kaptaan is conveying is also very helpful and positive.

No problem with that just think it is the wrong section for such discussion. This is for official news on the CPEC isn't it? Just my opinion.

In that sense everything we discuss on PDF is pointless. Non of us is a PM, President, Defence Minister, General, Minister, MP etc.
