Amid long delays in the completion of projects under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) from China’s Xinjiang province, which was ‘officially’ launched in 2015 and over this, Islamabad’s lackadaisical attitude had sowed the frustration in Beijing, a media report said.
According to the recent CPEC Authority report, Pakistan could complete only three projects in Gwadar but its “one-dozen projects costing nearly USD 2 billion remain unfinished including water supply and electricity provision” had irked the Chinese government.
China is now forced to reconsider the future of its financial and manpower investments in Pakistan.
