After dealing with China for many years Pakistan’s ruling elite has discovered that it cannot replace the US, meanwhile Prime Minister Imran Khan and his team continue to promote the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor terming it “beneficial to the country”, said Dr Shabir Choudhry in his blog.
The Pakistanis believe that China is a good neighbour with some common interests with Islamabad, and that relationship should continue, but Pakistan’s ruling elite has many more things in common with America and the West.
China has been involved in the development of the Gwadar port on the Arabian Sea as part of a USD 60 billion CPEC under Beijing’s Belt and Road infrastructure project.
