#1 the link between Pakistan and China is a curious one

the only highway that connects them goes over Khunjerab Pass which is over 14,000' and is snow covered and impassible during the midwinter

there is no rail link between the two countries but it would be possible to build a rail line along the highway --- the cost would be enormous and it would take years

#2 It will be fascinating to see who hustles whom, given the Kiplingesque admonition about "hustling the east". Here we see thieving cheats taking money from thieving cheats....how does this end well, and hopefully it doesn't!

#3 Chinese arrogance is astounding. And astounding arrogance usually costs majorly.

#5 The Paks see China as a balance to India. Got to wonder why all the silo building in the Middle Kingdom. US and Russian deescalation was only about addressing overkill.

#6 but have also bought a 40% stake in the Pakistain Stock Exchange (PSX) company.

That must have set them back a buck fifty. I've always heard the Chinese like to gamble.
