China-Pakistan Economic Corridor: What the whole world is suspecting, has now been confirmed by Pakistan’s own economist. Earlier it was being told that China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) will change the fate of Pakistan. Whereas Pakistan’s well-known economist Dr. Qaiser Bengali exposed this and said that no significant investment came under this project. Gwadar Port is also not providing any benefit economically, although it was once described as the ‘heart’ of this plan.

CPEC could not become a gamechanger

In a podcast conversation with a Pakistani journalist, he even said that Pakistan’s economy is sinking day by day. Qaiser Bengali says, “First CPEC was being called a game-changer. Then SIFC, Green Initiative, Udaan Pakistan and now Minerals. These are just words. They have no real results.

Billions of dollars were spent in making it

CPEC was launched in 2013 with an initial investment plan of $46.5 billion. Later, as more projects were added over time, the plan was increased to $62 billion. However, now economists claim that no big investment has actually come. He said, “Apart from Lahore’s Orange Train, I don’t see anything else concrete under CPEC.” When asked whether the billions of dollars promised under CPEC were loans or investments? he said, “It was a mix of both, but nothing actually came.” Many MOUs were signed, but MOUs are not agreements – it is just a statement of intent, not an agreement.

What is CPEC?

Let us tell you that the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) starts from Xinjiang in China and passes through the Khunjerab Pass in Northern Pakistan and reaches Gwadar Port in Balochistan. The purpose of making it was to strengthen the transportation network between the two countries so that investment opportunities in Pakistan also increase, infrastructure is strengthened, economic development is accelerated, and the energy crisis is helped in overcoming, but in reality nothing concrete has emerged. Dr. Bengali has even called it a ‘ghost path’.

What is the problem with Gwadar?

Kaiser Bengali said that there are still only four berths at Gwadar Port and no ships arrived last year. He told that when he was in Balochistan, he had gone to Gwadar, then the port gate was locked with a lock like a small suitcase and the guard had gone to his village.

Bengali, who has been an advisor to the Sindh Chief Minister, said Gwadar cannot become a transit or trade hub because its economic hinterland is more than 1,000 kilometers away. Stating the reality, he said, “We had imported three ships of wheat in 2008 just to prove that Gwadar was alive. Whereas there was no need for it in Gwadar. Then the wheat was brought from Gwadar to Karachi and Rs 2 billion was spent just in taking it to Karachi. If the goods had been unloaded directly in Karachi, Rs 2 billion would have been saved.”

The economist said that Gwadar is not economically feasible and this port can be possible only if it is connected to Lokandi and Helmand in Afghanistan and a special Afghan transit corridor is created. Till then, Gwadar may not be economically profitable. But looking at the current situation with Afghanistan, now this country does not want to import anything through Pakistan. Afghanistan now prefers Chabahar and the railway link between Chabahar and Afghanistan has been completed.

Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir is directly in touch with the Trump administration to persuade the US to excavate rare meaning and oil. Analysts say the deal may offend the local population and entangle Washington into unstable domestic conflict.

Times of Israel report
According to the report published in the Times of Israel, Trump is assured that Pakistan may be a source of rare minerals and oil. But it has been removed from the President’s briefing that mining in areas like Balochistan, Waziristan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will be extremely difficult or impossible. These areas are also hostile to Pakistan’s army and have given up to China here.

Warning of experts
Geophysical expert Sergio Restley says that if Trump continues on this path, the US will again return to the same areas which Biden left, citing Doha Agreement. Other analysts said that Balochistan has long been the center of ethnic and political unrest. The perception of exploitation by external forces has spoiled the situation.

China’s role and local resentment
China’s influence has already increased local dissatisfaction through CPEC (China-Pakistan Economic Corridor). Now if the US is involved in extracting resources, then this protest may increase further.

18th Amendment and local rights
According to the resteli, even after 15 years of the 18th amendment in Pakistan, the provinces have not got real rights on their resources. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is full of marble, granite, gems, chromite and copper, yet this area is poor because the profit goes to the center and does not cost local structures, education or health. The condition of Balochistan is the worst. There is a glut of resources like copper, gold, coal and rare meanings, but it is the poorest and backward province in Pakistan.

American interest and potential results
According to the report, the Trump administration has declared rare minerals as a national security priority and is watching Pakistan to reduce dependence on China. At the same time, Islamabad is eager to get foreign currency. But the deals are always fixed in the center, the army implements them and imposed on the local public.

History is a witness that projects like RECO Dick and Sandak brought a promise of billions of dollars but the local people got homeless, pollution and unrest. If America also joined now, this model will become more rigid.

Possible results- not development, repression
Experts say that such projects will not be development but repression-villages will be converted into siege, disagreement will be made a crime, royalty will be stopped and the army will be deployed in the name of strategic security. As a result, the anti -America will be anger and faster, because at the grassroots level people will find this partnership like American collusion.

India Pakistan tension: Pakistan is once again in the shelter of China amidst tension with India. Pakistan is now begging for this special friend to protect the economy from being destroyed. In such a situation, there has been a big deal between Pak and China.

Pakistan has agreed to cooperate with China in many special sectors including trade, agriculture and industrial. Pakistan’s media says that the economy of the country is decaying, industries are getting destroyed. Shahbaz Sharif government is preparing to take billions of dollars loans from foreign banks.

According to a report by news agency PTI, Pakistan Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar made China aware of the latest situation of Pakistan after Operation Sindoor, in which he spoke on several issues including ceasefire.

Discussion on increasing CPEC to Afghanistan

During the tour of China, Ishaq Dar also met the influential minister of the International Deputy of the Communist Party, Liu Jiancha, during the Chinese Foreign Minister. During this, Dar also discussed India’s decision to postpone the Indus water. Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry said that Ishaq Dar and Chinese Foreign Minister held a meeting in Beijing with acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttki of Afghanistan. The two leaders have decided to extend China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) to Afghanistan and to cooperate more for China’s infrastructure.

‘Pakistan forced to spread hands once again for debt’

According to a report by Pakistan’s ARY News, the country has not only lagged behind the goal of economic development, but is forced to spread his hands in front of the world once again. Pakistan is also planning a loan of $ 4.9 billion. According to the report, Pakistan’s GDP growth rate has been just 2.68 percent against the estimate of 3.6 percent.

China-pakistan relations: China has deployed its private security agencies in Pakistan for the first time. This step has been taken to protect Chinese engineers and workers involved in China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects in Pakistan. China has taken this decision amid growing terrorist attacks in Pakistan.

According to India Today reports, China has appointed its three major private security companies – the Deway Security Frontier Service Group, the China Overseas Security Group, and Huaxin Jhongshan Security Service – to provide security in Pakistan. In the first phase, 60 Chinese security personnel have been deployed in two CPEC power projects of Sindh province. The job of these security personnel will have to work under the supervision of the Pakistan Army for the safety of Chinese citizens.

Deployment of Chinese security forces
About 6,500 Chinese citizens are working in two power projects in Thar Coal Block of Sindh province. Chinese security forces have been deployed here so that Chinese citizens have less contact with outsiders and their safety can be ensured.

China put pressure on Pakistan
China had earlier pressured Pakistan to deploy its People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to protect its citizens, which Pakistan had earlier rejected. However, after Chinese pressure, Pakistan eventually signed a joint security structure and under this Chinese private security forces were deployed.

Attack of Baloch terrorists and increasing security expenses
Recent attacks on Chinese citizens by rebel groups like Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) in Pakistan have also become the main reason for this decision. The most recent attack took place on 6 October 2024, in which two Chinese citizens were killed in a suicide bomb blast. Due to this, Pakistan has increased security expenditure on CPEC projects. Recently, Pakistan has sanctioned an additional amount of Rs 90 billion for the protection of Chinese citizens. Currently around 30,000 Chinese citizens are working on various CPEC projects in Pakistan, most of which are deployed in sensitive areas such as Balochistan and Gwadar.

Mahrang baloch: Balochistan, the largest province of Pakistan, has become the center of struggles these days. Here separatist forces are getting stronger and extremist groups like BLA are directly challenging the government. Mehrang Baloch, a prominent advocate of human rights and Baloch aspirations, has been detained in custody, which has further increased tension amidst tension with the Government of Baloch people.

The Baloch movement is a matter of concern for Pakistan. He is afraid that this will increase separatist feelings and will challenge his rights in the region. Mehrang has been given a place by Time magazine as one of the 100 next emerging leaders. The arrest of him and about 150 activists is being criticized internationally.

Mahrang Baloch is the prominent name among the vocal people against Pakistan
Mehrang Baloch led the demonstration of illegal arrest of relatives of those who have forcibly disappeared and protested against illegal police remand. Maharang and others have been made many serious allegations including terrorism. Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) leader and Dr. Meharang Baloch has been vocal about forcibly disappearance in Balochistan and alleged judicial killings.

Condemning his arrest, his sister Iqra Baloch wrote on social media that his journey in Hooda Jail reminds him of 18 years ago when he saw his father behind bars. He wrote, “Mehrang was with us at that time, he is not”.

Mehrang’s father was murdered
According to media reports, his father Abdul Ghaffar Langov was a nationalist leader. He was forcibly disappeared in 2009 and his body was found in Lasbela district after three years. Since then, he decided to forcibly disappear and fight against just killings. Mehrang has continued his fight, although he has faced challenges like death threats, travel restrictions, custody. In December 2023, he helped organize a big March in Islamabad, demanding action against forcible disappearance, which was strongly opposed by the police.

Huge storage of copper, gold, coal and natural gas in Balochistan
About 44% of Pakistan’s land area is from Balochistan. It also shares the international border with Afghanistan and Iran. There is only 5% arable land in this province. It is known for extremely dry desert climate but is considered rich in natural resources. Despite this, he is left behind in the race of development. This province has huge stores of copper, gold, coal and natural gas, which is an important part of Pakistan’s mineral wealth.

Due to the geopolitical importance of Balochistan, a large part of China’s ambitious project China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is in this province. CPEC Chinese President Xi Jinping’s ‘Belt and Road’ is part of the initiative and the port of Gwadar is considered very important for this project.

The people of Balochistan have been alleging that the provincial and central governments have been earning huge profits by exploiting the natural resources here, but development has been completely ignored in the area. Baloch nationalists in the province revolted for independence in 1948–50, 1958–60, 1962–63 and 1973–1977.

China Pakistan News: Pakistan is currently facing its own terrorists. Pakistan is currently fighting war on many fronts inside the house due to the incident of train hijack in Balochistan and then the army convoy in Nausheki. Tehreek Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Baloch rebel are targeting Shahbaz Sharif’s army. Since the train hijack in Balochistan, China is also continuously putting pressure on Pakistan for tight security in that area.

Chinese project hovering threatened

At present, the situation in Balochistan of Pakistan is very bad. The intervention of the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has now increased in the region, due to which China seems to be threatened by the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project. China has spent billions of rupees on this project. Tilak Devashar, a member of India’s National Security Advisory Board and a specialist in Pakistan affairs, said that China wants to deploy special security personnel in Balochistan.

China can impose a fine on Pakistan

Pakistan affairs expert Tilak Devashar said that geographically Balochistan is a place where Pakistan cannot allow the deployment of Chinese soldiers under any circumstances. Pakistan has failed to provide security to the employees of China associated with the Gwadar project and its road project. In the last few days, many Chinese employees have been the target of BLA in this area. In such a situation, China can ask for borrowing money to Pakistan. Can also impose a fine.

China wants its army deployment

Devashar said that the biggest fear within China is that if BLA fighters can hijack the train, then what would happen in the days if they occupy Gwadar Port or Power Project or Gwadar Airport? He said that in view of the safety of its employees, China has demanded to increase the security of these areas or deploy its army, as is at the Hambantota port in Sri Lanka. He told that Pakistan does not want to do this because there is a question of its credibility and prestige.

Tilak Devashar has also expressed apprehension that China may get private security deployed in these areas. He said, “Pakistan’s biggest problem is that it does not look into itself. Pakistan has been blaming India since 1947 on every small problem.”
