This pipeline is important. Way beyond the Iran/Pakistan connectivity.
If and when it is FINALLY built, after 25 years of conception and negotiations....it will pave the way for connections to India, Bangladesh, SE Asia ......AND China, eventually.
The Coolie Chamar weakness of the Pakistan and Indian governments, and the opaque commercial negotiation style of the puppet mullahs of Iran prevented it from being completed, thus far.
But now with somebody else paying for it.....China...all is well.
Failed State Pakistan in the meantime will purchase 8 Chinese submarines at a secret cost of $7 billion when spares and maintenance are factored in.
Absolutely useless for a land power, whose only threat scenario is from the land...waste of money and kickbacks for the corrupt traitors in Pakistan. What are landlocked Pooooonjoabis going to do with submarines........use them to smuggle heroin into the Persian Gulf, Africa, North America and Europe???????
That $7 billion should have been spent on steel mills in Kalabagh, using Thar coal.
Or schools, colleges, universities and hospitals.
But no. For the Harijan chamar Chutia from the Pooonjob...submarines are more useful to smuggle drugs around the world.

Defying US Objections, China to Build Iran-Pakistan Pipeline
US Has Been Threatening Pakistan Over Pipeline for Years
by Jason Ditz, at antiwar.com
Despite years of haranguing from the US and threats to sanction Pakistan, the Iran-Pakistan natural gas pipeline will finally be built, by Chinese company CNPC, according to reports.
.
Initially
floated as an Iran-Pakistan-India pipeline, the project has been pushed
as a way for Pakistan to solve decades of crippling energy shortages
that have led to intermittent blackouts in major cities. India withdrew
from the project in 2009, saying the prices negotiated were no longer
attractive..
Pakistan still wanted and needed the gas, but the US State Department has repeatedly threatened to impose crippling economic sanctions on them for daring to do business with Iran.
.
The insinuation of a Chinese company into the situation changes it dramatically, and seems to be the result of the latest framework deal with Iran and a planned easing of sanctions.
.
As a permanent UN Security Council member, China is in a much better position to thumb their nose at idle US threats over the pipeline, and given recent diplomatic progress, it will be difficult for the US to even try to retaliate over the matter.
