The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) Opportunities and Challenges.MWaqasAkbar3
Brief introduction about CPEC projects, opportunities from this project to both China and Pakistan, and the challenges for both countries faced by this project.
The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a major infrastructure project that aims to connect China's Xinjiang region to Gwadar Port in Pakistan via roads, railways, and oil and gas pipelines. The project was proposed in 2013 to address China's high transportation costs and delivery times by shortening the distance to Gulf countries. CPEC will boost both countries' economies by facilitating trade, creating jobs, developing infrastructure, and strengthening strategic and economic cooperation between China and Pakistan.
CPEC is the biggest project in the history of Pakistan and is of great importance not only in Pakistan but all over the world especially in Asia. People have different views on it and some countries are spreading negative propaganda about it. This research find the reality of CPEC and the impact on Pakistan either it is beneficial or only the shop of debts.
Pakistan relation with japan (by Advocate Raja Aleem)Raja Aleem
Japan and Pakistan had established diplomatic relations on 28 April 1952. Relations between Pakistan and Japan have been strong. Despite having been through various phases and having witnessed some vicissitudes, Pakistan-Japan relations have kept growing to the mutual benefit of the two countries. Until the late 1950s, the relationship was essentially that of two developing countries. Pakistan, being the main source of raw cotton for Japan's textile industry, was one of its major trading partners. Japanese spindles on the other hand helped build Pakistan's textile industry.
1) The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor route passes through Gilgit-Baltistan and Balochistan, disputed territories claimed by India and Baloch nationalists, threatening Indian security and violating human rights.
2) India is developing alternative ports in Iran and Afghanistan, and supporting Balochistan could undermine the CPEC corridor.
3) Local opposition in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan provinces stem from changes to original CPEC plans and concerns that development will not benefit local residents.
The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a framework for infrastructure development and economic cooperation between China and Pakistan. It aims to improve connectivity between China's Xinjiang province and Pakistan's Gwadar Port through transport infrastructure, energy projects, and special economic zones. CPEC will upgrade the Karakoram Highway and construct new roads, railways, and pipelines to facilitate trade and reduce costs. It also involves developing Gwadar Port to boost trade and provide China with improved access to the Indian Ocean. CPEC is expected to significantly increase bilateral trade and investment, promote regional development and stability, and benefit other countries in the region through expanded connectivity and trade routes.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

Editor's Notes
Our prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) once said that ‘Seek Knowledge in china’.
Fortunately China is in the neighbour of Pakistan emerging as super power.
And after fourteen centuries his saying seems 100% true.
Pakistan China have deep friendly relations since long and China is supporting Pakistan in its economic wellbeing in the region.
This brings me to my topic of discussion today which is
