Khushboo Ejaz, Mariam Masood

Abstract


China Pakistan Economic Corridor is flagship project of 21st century’s biggest infrastructural plan named as One Belt One Road. It is a profit seeking venture which would benefit China and Pakistan both at a great extent but also leaving certain positive and negative implications for latter country. The objective of this paper is to argue that CPEC is more a neo-imperialist strategy of China which might not create win-win outcomes. This project aims at making hold over
strategically important region of South Asia in disguise of development projects. This paper would also provide a philosophical and analytical approach to China’s rise and its strategy of neimperialism. Forecasting technique is applied to explore the prospects and probabilities of CPEC on world stage and international political scenario. The final section of the paper would offer some recommendations to secure the interest of Pakistan in this project so that the sovereignty of the state could be protected in every respect. The methodology selected is the use of both primary and secondary data resources and to conduct a qualitative analysis of literature available on the topic selected.
