The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a vital infrastructure project aimed at enhancing energy production, transportation networks, and economic collaboration between Pakistan and China, with an investment of $46 billion. It includes major energy and infrastructure projects, such as power plants and highways, and is expected to provide significant benefits like job creation, economic growth, and reduced energy crises. However, it also has drawbacks, such as risks of local market disruption and security concerns.
