- Pakistan's Weapon Imports from China Amplifying Economic Crisis? | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Islamabad has announced a $86 Million grant for Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir, amid protests in the region against high electricity prices. But can Pakistan afford the grant? Pakistan is mired in debt, with 42% of it being external debt. Islamabad owes foreign nations and institutions about $125 Billion. The lion's share of Pakistan's debt is owed to China. Islamabad pays China back both directly and indirectly. Direct loan repayments are supplemented with arms purchases. 82% of Pakistan's defence imports between 2019 and 2023 were from China. This includes big ticket items like submarines worth $4-5 billion, which Pakistan cannot afford amidst its economic crisis.

Don’t worry, Pakistan plan to use all military imports on its own people as they are easy target!
😢😢😢. Being a Pakistani I can understand your words
@@umerhayat1590 I can understand. As Pakistani people, I doubt, do not support these actions. Only hardliners and puppet politicians...
Hope you all don't end up like other victims of China
No body cares
It's a good buy from Chinese ,buy one get one free
Pakistan Army is brave enough to control its own people.
I don't think Pakistan is buying, nor China is selling. China is using Pakistan as its naval base and air base. All those subs Pakistan is allegedly buying are actually owned and operated by China. By saying that these subs are bought by Pakistan, China doesn't have to face any reaction from US camp. This is the case with war planes too. For now it is 12 planes. Very soon this count will go up.
Good point
👍. Good ideas for China.
Very smart inference!
Well China pretty sure has not got full hold of Pakistan's naval bases....but yes, They can operate it whenever they want........
I agree with you on this score.
The reason for this is the fact that strength of the military might doesn't end with acquiring advanced hardware only. Those have to be maintained and operated by highly skilled military personnel. Failure to reach the required skill to do such job may lead to disastrous consequences--- especially in respect of stealth submarines. It's convenient for Pakistan to let the Chinese men and officers handle the operational side in the name of on-job training under Chinese navy for an indefinite period of time. Pakistan with its economy in shamble and an insatiable urge to project its military power has no other alternative.🥲
I am a Pakistani. I can understand your report mam😢
Chinese fingers are in pakistan pockets but also they are shaking.

Thanks to USA to keep Pakistan alive and provide strength to counter india

I feel pity for the innocent people of Pakistan.Their netas boasting as if they are economically stable.pakistan has to buy rusted weapons because they don't have money to purchase food.
Pakistan is run by Pakistan Army+ ISI
Just like Endia they keep buying weapons while their people are starving !
perpetually broke Pakistan 😂
It’s a shame reading these comments. The British divided our land, resources, people and now we are being manipulated by external interests. Feels good to be a stooge of America and the West. Proud to be an Indian 😂😂😂😂😂
Buying weapons on credit.
At present and in the upcoming future, their predictions suggest that India is not a concern for them. They believe these weapons won't assist them, knowing India won't attack unless provoked. Their main concern is earning; as long as they don't buy anything, their politicians won't benefit. They also anticipate internal disturbances in their country, so they feel the need for these weapons to defend themselves and assert superiority over India. It's baffling why their civilians allow their country to invest in such weapons instead of using the funds for their own people's welfare
they dont buy,....chinese gift them to keep india in check simple
Palki, when you said "Chinna has its fingers in" and paused for a moment, i was like 😮 what's up !
All Pakistani money go to Chinese pocket😂
I notice there are many individuals from India sharing their views in the comments. I have a few questions for you: Why is there animosity towards Pakistan? Is it primarily over the Kashmir conflict? Considering the historical and cultural ties between the two nations, why isn't a reunion possible? After all, Indians and Pakistanis are closely related. Additionally, could it be argued that England's interference played a role in the partition of India and Pakistan?
India had a history of Muslim rulers for centuries and they feel inferior to Muslims and the fact that Pakistan and Bangladesh got separated from India because of religion.
Also Indian are very patriotic and can be bit hypocrites and arrogant besides this there is no other logical reason why Indians hates Pakistan.
Most educated or real proud Indians won’t be so bitter about Pakistan. Kashmir issue between the public isn’t just about just Kashmiri people and land it’s more about ego.
This is just my view, debate with me if you don’t agree with, I am a Pakistani though
@@user-te5ov3se7s your reply reeks of Ego, brainwashed propaganda, and half baked knowledge of history, and culture.
I sincerely hope you do not hold any position of influence in pakistan govt.
@@citizenjosie714 correct me instead of yapping nonsense to me, just look at all the comments of bitter Indians. I know there are Indians who are very nice and then there are people like.

Dot worry on Pakistan. Be serious on your own country.

Paxtan is Poor punjabiArmy is rich😂 They r taking loan from IMF to buy weopons!
wait a minute pak's forex reserves are 8 billion usd and they are buying 4-5 billion usd worth of submarine ? whyyyyy
Its a good deal with payments arranged unlike Indian MMRCA : 8BN $ set for 126 jets in 2008 then bought only 36 jets for 8.8bn$ and still looking for rest of them after 16 years with no money . thus going for low tech low cost Tejas

*Pakistan has signed a JF-17 Thunder Block 3 deal with Iraq, Azerbaijan, Serbia, and Argentina, and Pakistan will generate 8 billion U.S. dollars in revenue after selling those fighter jets to those countries.*
*Pakistan has sold over 300 million U.S. Dollars' worth of military weapons to several countries during the last few years.*

Theres is no Without a shadow of doubt that Pakistan is the Next Sri Lanka!📉📈
So, ostensibly these arms will protect Pakistan from its external enemies. The threat however, is not from outside- it’s from the inside - from its own neglected population.
Just as it was when the military lost 1/2 of the country (now Bangladesh).
The weapons will not protect Pakistan from splitting at the seams. No amount of military suppression will deter Baloch or Pushtoon separatists from their effort to break the country. It’s happened in the past and in all likelihood will happen again. India has no interest in Pakistan. If they had they could’ve just walked in and be welcomed by Pakistani population in 1971. When the disgraced military had no where to hide.
Don't worry about Pakistan. Please concentrate on your personal problems in your country
tata = whole pakistan
Pakistan did not exist after 1971. It is only Punjab. Other states are Punjab colonies
Palki have a nice sense of humour 🇹🇹
Cheaper than USA that’s why.
if India gave Occupied Kasmir Pak, may be we be friends with india and rather than china, importing indian goods for 84 Billion USD 😉
How does Pakistan paid back ? Seemingly, Indian Media is much more worried about Pakistan's debts than Pakistan it self 🤣🤣😂😂
Wait and watch
If it's not your concern why waste your precious time passing your comments here , just because you stopped and you are curious- let me degrease- we are keeping hawks eyes on every development that happens our other side of the border- we are concerned about our first and foremost security- imagine 250mil beggars and radicals storming towards our borders- anticipation, planning and action only this which could save us- good ex- Israel conflict.
At least Pakistan is not in recession is good news.
Pakistan faces no threat of any aggression from India, if one is to track the diplomatic and the defense and military stance followed by India, ever since the two nations attained independence, and in all probabilities, the same policy by India shall likely continue, going forward as well. Still, Pakistan’s piling up weapons and incurring huge expenses, despite its economy in a pronouncedly deteriorated condition.
It’s the Pakistani government and not the army that needs to justify these decisions to the people of the country, if it actually is a democracy and not a sham. It's high time that at least now, Pakistan sets its priorities right. The country's focus should now be to alleviate the prevalent alarmingly high poverty levels and get its derailed economy back on track rather than on stacking up ammunition.
Only in 2024
Saudia 32 Bn $ investment
UAE 10 Bn $ investment
Iran TRADE pact 10 bn $
China 52bn $ investment in railways
Barter trade with no USD with 6 countries
Defense sales to middle east ,CARs ,Sri Lanka, and even France /US .
Long term energy contracts with Iran, Azerbaijan, Qatar, Saudia, Kuwait ,Iraq ensure diverse sources and fin security .
As far as India is concerned it has a record of interfering with all its neighbors thus can't be trusted . Pakistan tried having unilateral ceasefire in Kashmir for 20 years now . but India escalated in 2001,2008, 2012, 2019 . proving a constant threat
IMF is funding pappistani arms purchase. US, NATO and Netherlands had funded pappistani nuclear weapons and missile programs
Best pause.... 😂😂😂😂 example of economic mis management
6 trillion dollars economy and every 3 months have a deficit of 10BN $ in current account .....what good management by India
@@hasnainmian3534US has a deficit too, deficit is not a bad thing .India is growing at 13% in nominal terms and 8% in PPP terms
I think atleast Maldives learn something from this
The real concern shld be how they are able to sell their weapons as well. Indian outlets haven't covered much of their accomplishments. We need ro focus on every minor of their growth cuz this will help us to grow faster. And not stand still and laugh at them.
They hv mortgaged bilawal butto's butt.
We can all agree and conclude that it's miles ahead of Indian made. Always remember the wonderful day of December 8, 2021. An Indian highest priority VIP helicopter mission transporting India's most important senior commander Bipin as well as many of India's most highest ranking captains, generals, officers, chiefs, squadron leaders all onboard crashed resulting in the death of all 14 passengers. If India cannot even guarantee their most senior military officer safety during a short and simple 4 minute flight, how can they possibly accomplish anything?
This is not a fairy tale made up by India's adversaries to make it as though India's military is incompetent. It's the truth with concrete evidence of it happening and I have it all on video. This event will go down in history as one of the best of all time.

Why pakistan does not pay the loans with military bases
Yes if dijibouti can host 12 nations , Oman and tajikistan can give bases to India , Japan ,GERMANY,south Korea can host US ...why not Pakistan
It is not buying ,but Chaina is sending them freely to wage a proxy war against India.It is the simple like these failure of India to guess things rightly makes its foreign policy failures.
Beggaristan 🇵🇰 is for reason 😂
India has taken 6 times more loans than Pakistan ...a bigger beggar
They will just sell ONE property in Dubai.
Pakistan is a strategic asset for both China and the US. For China Pakistan is useful in a two front war with India and also to waste Indian military resources in Kashmir by having Pakistani ifiltrators at the Kashmir border. For the US Pakistan is like a watchtower to keep an eye on Russia and the middle east from Afghanistan/Iran to Saudi Arabia. For China and the US India is just a big market to expand their business interests. China on the consumer market front and the US in IT sector (cheap Indian IT workers) and for the sales of military hardware. For Pakistan both will bear economic loss if they have to just to keep Pakistan as a viable entity.
You need more info on geopolitics to connect the dots correctly, right know Pakistan isn’t really anyone’s true ally. Pakistan was a good friend of America until it hid Osama in its country which destroyed Americas trust, Pakistan doesn’t want to get sanctions from the US at the same time it wants to be friends with china along America. It also is greedy
"Pakistani Paranoia" caused by their own doctrine.
But Pakistani all time non merit incompetent State and Government including Parliaments and Judiciary including Armed forces don't feel shame.

Not sure how and where did you get that debt of Pakistan is 42% of GDP. The IMF not have this data. Additionally if 42% is considered bad then India is currently at 83.13% and USA is 121%

Chinese debt trap 😅
From what I have read of JF17, I think Iraq is making a SERIOUS ERROR in buying them from Pk!
yeah the iraqi airforce has gone mad. cant they see that india is selling tejas
I heard gulf countries are investing billions over businesses in pakistan in coming days. I heard the number is 60B. But I think that depends on Indian election results because of its congress it'll be a sellout party to gulf and pakistan and USA and so on but if it's bjp then it'll get difficult for pakistan for ever, that what I think and we'll know on June 4th.
China also said they were going to invest $62 billion for their CPEC project in Pakistan. That was 10 years ago now and during that time the Pakistani economy has only gone from bad to worse, with the CPEC project constantly getting derailed and delayed. Doesn't matter how much you invest unless you have internal stability
People invest in a market where they expect profit for their investment isn't it?? So tell me how much is Pakistan growing?? What is their growth rate and what is their inflation rate?? People are dying to get their two meals per day and it's called development?? Saudi Arabia is buying gold mines with 5-6 billion dollars is it an investment for Pakistan?? What Pakistan gets from that 6 billion?? So if Pakistan is growing how come they're asking for a bailout from the IMF, even if gulf countries invest it looks bleak for Pakistan.
No matter who invest what, Their religion tells the people to up the arms for the destruction only. They have got 3 generations now with all religious hate and destruction implanted in their brain. They are on the path of downfall only.
The prime minister pocketed some of it
China equipping paxtan to create tension. They them self can't even make or buy a single fight jet
Pakistan was manufacturing Mairage jets since long and has more of them than France itself . it also rebuilt f6 /f7 (mig 19/21) . before JF17

Bribes might help temporarily, in the long run unproductive adding to debt and more debt!
Without a huge Defence budget there would be funds for food and growth!
But bogey of India is more important than food and development to Pakistanis!
Result the present crisis!

Buy weapon is seller will be happy . Why not buy food from them . Do trade with china . ? 😊
"Loan shark China!", "China's fingers in Pakistan's pocket!" - I fondly hope that Chinese monitoring entities listen to you!
