The project's name suggests it is intended to be an 'economic corridor' connecting Pakistan overland with China's Xinjiang province. This book examines if the CPEC's primary purpose is as an overland conduit for trade and economic cooperation between China and Pakistan, while positing that aims related to geopolitics and energy security are, in reality, more significant. The book also demonstrates that China's goals in Pakistan are primarily geopolitical rather than geo-economic, since the notion of constructing an economic and transportation 'corridor' between Pakistan and China is logistically and economically problematic due to a range of foreseeable problems. This book will be of interest to scholars who research on BRI and policy makers"-- Provided by publisher.
