The climax of Pakistan China friendship has turned into a new regime of bilateral economic
cooperation with mutual signing of the project named China-Pakistan Economic Corridor
(CPEC) connecting Xinjiang to Gwadar Port with the worth of $46 billion (currently $62 billion)
which is expected to be completed till 2030. With the development of this project Chins will get
out from entanglement of sea roots, controlled by its economic and regional foes to reinvent
OBOR through Pakistan that will inevitably boost both countries' economic development to
infrastructure and energy. This sort of projects faces many challenges from the foes neighbours.
The success of this sort of projects depends upon the support of neighbouring countries but India
has always a very negative impression over CPEC. Indian government, public and politicians
have always negatively criticized it. Indian media also propagates negative views and claims that
it will harm the Indian national interest. If all the things go well and both Pakistan and China
successfully handle the constraints in its way, it can be in the true sense a game changer and a
fate changer not only for Pakistan and China but it also can bring fruits of stability for many other
regional actors in the sense of regional cooperation. This paper discusses constraints and hurdles
which can be in the way of this project and different policy recommendations have also been
suggested which the governments of both the countries should take care of. The paper is drawn
from scholarly articles, think-tank reports, academic journals, reviewed literature and
government-sponsored studies.
