1. NWell written: Many technical phrases/concepts are mentioned, but not elaborated further, for example Balance of payment, Preferential Trade Agreement (mentioned only in the lede). Some phrases are either ambiguous, or inaccurate interpretation of sources for example By 2018 their trade deficit was 35% doesn't specify what it's referring to (China's role in Pakistan's trade deficit).

2. Y No original research, from what I could garner so far.

3/4. N, the criticism/sourcing is heavily from Pakistan perspective and very little is noted from China's perspective. If it were not for the photo caption, I wouldn't have known that president Xi Jinping signed it even. Some of the subsections either feel like WP:COATRACK or do not adequately summarize what it is, for example Balance of Payment.

5/6. Y

This article has potential, but needs some work, including improved/diverse sourcing and WP:DUE WEIGHT from China's perspective. For an Article dedicated to highly technical trade/economic terms, the standards for it should be high as well. It does not pass a GA nomination from me, at this point. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 21:57, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
