CPEC China-Pakistan Economic Corridor
Gwadar Port is the deepest sea port of the Arabian Sea. Due to its deep sea port it has come to the attention of the world. Recently China has invested billions of dollars in a project called CPEC (China Pakistan Economic Corridor). The CPEC plays a major role in economic trade and strategic context.
Pakistan gets 9% of income out of hundred, China is going to lose nothing to fulfill its historical hundreds of years old dream “one belt one road” which not only bring internal prosperity in the Republic of China but also adds crucial features in the soft power of China which can’t be eradicated easily. And also China is intended to minus the influence of the United States in South Asia and Africa through one belt one road.
Absolutely no doubt such heavy economic agreements can bring state from down to up, if we observe the nature and timeline of CPEC the time in which US and China are in a cut-throat rift in this region, that can bring Pakistan in a jeopardized condition because Pakistan has been the key ally of United States throughout history. Pakistan also had faced sanctions imposed by the United States whenever it felt any unrest or lack of interest from Pakistan, the recent response by Donald Trump regime in the context of South Asian policy is obviously negative.
CPEC is the project which obviously brings economic prosperity and consolidates the position of Pakistan internally and externally. This is very worthy to have a closed partnership with China which is a superpower. Pakistan needs to be very conscious from the people of Gwadar which demand basic necessities like water from the Government. The native people of the region must be taken in account and should get benefited from this project especially the Baloch nation and people of Balochistan Authoritarians declare Gawdar tiger of Asia. But people of Gwadar are prostrating every drop of water for surviving. The development of CPEC is not possible unless Gawadar is provided basic facilities especially just water for drinking.
