The 1st International Symposium on Business Corporation and Development in South-East and South Asia under BR Initiative(2016): Analyzing the Business Case for the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor

摘要

There are two key issues ignored in the discussion around the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) by analysts from out of China and Pakistan who tend to focus on its so-called 'strategic' or military objectives. The first is of the level of employment that will be generated by the CPEC. The second, given the CPEC's focus on energy infrastructure, is of whether the addition to Pakistan's energy capacity is really necessary and, if necessary whether it will resolve the problem of the country's problems on the energy front.
