7.  China–Pakistan Economic Corridor is a collection of
infrastructure projects currently under construction
throughout Pakistan.
 Originally valued at $46 billion, the value of CPEC
projects is now worth $54 billion.
 CPEC is intended to rapidly modernize Pakistani
infrastructure and strengthen its economy by the
construction of modern transportation networks,
numerous energy projects, and special economic zones.
 On 13 November 2016, CPEC became partly operational
when Chinese cargo was transported overland to Gwadar
Port for onward maritime shipment to Africa and West
Asia.

8.  The karakoram highway (kkh) was started in 1959 and
was completed in 1979 (open to the public since 1986).
 It connects China’s Xinjiang with Pakistan’s Gilgit-
baltistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa regions.
 China Pakistan corridor is a collection of projects.
 Link the Pakistani city of gawadar port in
southwestern to China’s northwestern autonomous
region of Xinjiang.

10.  China Pakistan relations began in 1950.
 Strategic alliance was formed in 1972 and economic
corporation began in 1979.
 China has invested 20$ billion in various projects.
 China has eyes on gawadar port from starting.
 In 2013, gawadar port operations officially handed over
china.

12.  The main reason of china’s interest in CPEC is
gawadar.
 The $46 billion which is being borrowed has to be
returned with interest @ 1.6% pa on $11 billion
(repayable in 25 years) and 4.95% on $35 billion energy
projects (payable in 10 years) . The principal
repayment which work out to about $3.940 billion per
annum and interest to about $1.908 billion, totaling
$5.858 billion.

15.  Gawadar is a port city on the south-western coast of
Pakistan’s Balochistan province.
 Gawadar port is located at the mouth of Persian gulf.
 Pakistan purchased it from Oman in 3$ million.
 Gawadar port is a strategic warm-water deep sea port.
 It was officially opened in 20 March 2017.
 NHA began construction of 653km long Makran
coastal highway linking gawadar to karachi.
 In 2013, gawadar port operations officially handed over
china.

17.  For oil trade.
 Malacca strait dangerous for china.
 For development of western part of china.
 Due to Gawadar port.

34.  “ONE BELT,ONE ROAD" is a plan of China to get
access to central Asia's oil and gas resources and to
develop its trade by having multiple routes by both
sea and land. It will help developing countries like
India, Bangladesh, SriLanka, Indonesia by having
more access to the trade.
 OBOR tackles the usual trade route that is created
by USA which benefits only few countries like
singapore.
 China is also claiming more parts of the south
China Sea and Indian Ocean which created certain
tension about trade routes of usual USA.

35.  "One belt, one road" is a development strategy
started by the Chinese government in 2013.
 It refers to the New Silk Road Economic Belt,
which will link China with Europe through
Central and Western Asia.
 the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, which will
connect China with Southeast Asian countries,
Africa and Europe.

37. Relation between OBOR and CPEC

38.  China and Pakistan friendship has emerged as amicable
strategic partnership based on mutual interest with trust.
 Over the years, both the countries have developed strong
bilateral trade and economic collaboration.
 China has gradually emerged as Pakistan’s major trading
partner both in domain of exports and imports.

39.  Today, China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) has
become talk of the globe.
 CPEC, an essential component of One Belt, One Road
proposed by China, is termed as a “Game Changer” for
Pakistan.
 It is not only the pivot of China-Pakistan politico-economic
relations, but holds similar promise for the region and
beyond.
 While the project offers enormous opportunities to
Pakistan such as economic prosperity, socio-economic
uplift of general population and under developed areas,
there are also few challenges attached to it.

40.  Because of its wide-ranging scope, CPEC particularly has
gained the attention of the West and the USA.
 For them this massive project by China under the concept
of OBOR will make China an economic giant than already
it is and will undermine the USA as superpower of the
world.
 Under the OBOR, countries will be connected through
infrastructure and telecommunication links.
 This will be accomplished by developing deep water ports,
where possible and then building the infrastructure to link
them through industrial zones and markets.

41.  Apart from work going on establishment of Gwadar Port in
Pakistan, Chinese intend to develop such ports in Piraeus
(Greece), Zarubino (Russia), Djibouti and Mombasa
(Africa) and Kyaukpyu (Myanmar).
 One of the OBOR projects likely to be completed early is
the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
 Basically, the project is to link the Indian Ocean port of
Gwadar in Pakistan to the Chinese rail hub of Kashgar, a
distance of some 2000 miles through some of the highest
passes in the Himalayas involving nearly 125 miles of
mountain tunnels.

42.  This corridor will consist of road, rail, oil and liquefied gas
pipelines and fibre optic cable links. Industrial plants, most
of them related to energy, will be set up in the corridor.
 Some $46 billion is earmarked for the whole project in
which $34 billion is kept for energy projects and $12 billion
allocated for infrastructure development.
 Basically the OBOR is the mega project carried out by
China for their development and CPEC is a step towards its
completion or in other ways part of the OBOR project.
