Khawaja Asif hints at foreign policy shift from US towards China, Russia

OBOR is a backup plan for wartime in case US navy starts choking Chinese trade routes.Also the economies which are going to be connected by OBOR are a drop in bucket compared to west.

Even china knows OBOR cannot become a primary economic booster . Do you know how incredibly cheap it is to transport stuff over water instead of land?

Also , what is china going to export if west refuses to buy from them? Currently today the creators of economic demand and consumption is driven by west.

Our economies will survive only if west is prosperous

See: For example : Laptop industry

Westerners want laptop. The laptop hardware is made in Chinese factories . The microprocessor ,the semiconductors etc are made in factories of Taiwan and shipped to china via water. The laptops are then exported to america via waterway. The laptop tech support is done by Indians and Bangladeshis .

Now if we take the west out of equation ,how do you think we will grow our economies ? The chinese economy dose not mean shit if there is no one to buy its products

Both west and china need each other
