Since the United States began to engage in special operations in Asia, its efforts to win over India is comprehensive, and it invests and sells weapons. As a result, it was fooled by India this year, buying Russian oil, and returning the " Indo-Pacific Economic Framework " (IPEF).
Since the United States aims to be China, India was the best tool, but it was so difficult to play, so I began to look for other targets, taking advantage of this year's Fed rate hike , and when I was focusing on Asia, I found - Pakistan .
The epidemic and inflation, Pakistan has had a very difficult time this year. I borrowed a lot of money from Middle East , but it was still not enough. At this time, IMF ( International Monetary Fund ) reached out and said I could lend you money, but you have to agree to my conditions.
According to the IMF's rules for borrowing money, fiscal and monetary actions must be carried out according to the contract. In recent years, Pakistan and us have worked together on the "Belt and Road Initiative", so it is impossible to fully follow the IMF's requirements.
So the problem was temporarily put on hold until the end of May, when the IMF agreed and then gave $1 billion.
is exactly what happened. The natural gas bought by Pakistan are all from European companies. The United States has provoked a war and the natural gas prices have risen again and again, causing Pakistan's energy burden to become heavier and heavier.
cooperates with our country. Most projects in Pakistan have many requirements for electricity. Due to insufficient funds from enterprises, there is government fuel subsidy, and the IMF's requirement is that subsidies must be cancelled.
Of course, after the cancellation, the burden on Pakistan enterprises increased and the government's finances were relatively tight. So after a month, our country borrowed US$2.5 billion from Pakistan.
To put it bluntly, the United States is changing its course to ruin our "Belt and Road Initiative". This year, the American media slandered and slandered every now and then, and the "debt trap" was also an invention of the United States.
From Africa to Latin America, and now to Asia, Pakistan’s debt problem is caused by the “Belt and Road Initiative”.
Blinken In the past two days, Pakistan has been struggling with floods. You have to negotiate debts with China. If you owe China $30 billion, you must find a way to reduce debts and reorganize debts. The purpose of
to win over Pakistan is quite obvious. It just approved the upgrade of the F-16 to Pakistan some time ago, and now it is now standing up for it, which is actually sow discord.
You should know that Pakistan is the flagship country of the "Belt and Road" and the United States also wants to develop its own version of the Belt and Road, trying every means to slander and suppress it.
Finally, let’s talk about the US$2.5 billion loan to Pakistan mentioned above. Our loan interest rate is 1.5% + SHIBOR ( Shanghai Interbank Offering Rate ), which adds up to about 3.5%.
The interest rate lent to Pakistan by the IMF is not high, usually 1.5%, but note that since Pakistan has quite a small quota in the IMF, more than 80% of loan interest rates have surcharges, about 3.5%. The weighted interest rate is 4.5%-5%. The part of
is often directly ignored by Western politicians and media, and the publication is 1.5%, so they shout all day long that China's loan interest rates are high.
so much so that now the West says we have become competitors of the IMF, and most countries borrow from China and don’t go to the IMF anymore.
Return to this question, the United States wins over Pakistan not only shows that the United States does everything to us, but also says it is useless. Of course, in Pakistan's words, China-Pakistan friendship is higher than Mount Everest and sweeter than honey, so the United States will definitely end in nothing after all.
