Contextualization of Socio-Cultural Implications of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor on Pakistan
China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a project of socio-economic development influencing diplomacy mainly through maritime geopolitics. Being a flagship project of the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), it is not only significant for China and Pakistan but also for Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. The project is a vital part of the Chinese BRI as it encompasses Gwadar Port, which is its most vibrant component. It is envisioned that CPEC will usher in an era of economic prosperity and diplomatic strength for Pakistan. However, apart from discussing the economic, industrial, and military interest there was a need to analyse the facet of socio-economic development and the possible cultural implications of CPEC on Pakistan. The influx of the Chinese workforce consists of both genders, which is thought to have social and cultural influence in Pakistan. Hence, it was prudent to appreciate the social influence of CPEC in Pakistan with a view to formulating pragmatic policies.
