The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) comprises various infrastructure projects aimed at modernizing Pakistan's economy through enhanced transportation networks, energy projects, and special economic zones. It includes significant roadway and railway projects, as well as electricity and communication initiatives, which will not only improve Pakistan's connectivity but also boost its GDP by over 15%. While CPEC offers substantial benefits like job creation and development in underdeveloped regions, it could also lead to challenges for local industries and increased dependency on China.
