Abstract
The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) has recently completed its ten-year anniversary, and this research article aims to evaluate its impact and the factors that have influenced its development. Despite facing criticism and challenges, CPEC has brought about some benefits, particularly in terms of transportation infrastructure. However, the project has also encountered difficulties, including protests and concerns about its vagueness. This paper will examine the factors that have affected the development of CPEC, including policy changes, the COVID-19 pandemic, and terrorist attacks. Additionally, it will analyze the trade relations between Pakistan and China and assess the extent to which CPEC has achieved its intended goals. The study will rely on secondary data and literature review to provide a comprehensive understanding of the CPEC project and its outcomes.
