The CPEC is solely for the purpose of having a Chinese Army on the Pakistani soil and check India. Already as per the reports, the Chinese are already having seven thousand troops in Pakistan on the pretext of guarding the economic assets of the Chinese from being attacked by the Balochi insurgents. Pakistan has already become a Chinese colony of like North Korea. Pakistan is already started bleeding and will be further ruined under the Chinese debt trap.
Just like most Indians,you prefer living in fools paradise. The CPEC project involves a massive investment in Pakistan’s economic infrastructure. It’s going well as planned. For example, the sever power shortage of few years ago is now non-existent in Pakistan. More projects are at different stages of successful implementation. More are on the way. Chinese firms are now planning to shift many industrial units into Pakistan and that will not only bring jobs into Pakistan but advanced technology too.

Other drawbacks include, 14,000 feet passes connecting China with Pakistan which are vulnerable to weather conditions. The Chinese manufacturing on East Coast is 4,000 km away. That distance plus the high mountain passes, above described hazards, insurgency in Bulochistan and 2,000 km distance in Pakistan to sea, makes it totally uneconomical. Goods from China’s east coast can more economically come via Indian Ocean and can get to Africa and other Indian Ocean littoral states by sea, cheaper and faster than the unreliable mountain and desert road. Hence this road is unwanted and not needed. It is dream of politicians in China as well as Pakistan. Chinese wished to place their surplus export cash in useless projects like this. In fact, Pakistan got trapped into high interest, high cost project just to get China into India – Pakistan affairs.
