CHINA-Pakistan Economic Corridor is a game changer for Pakistan. That is why India would do anything to sabotage it. One of the reasons for the prosperity we see in the United States is the network of its roads and highways spread all over the country — from east to west and from north to south.

These all-weather roads provide security, gas stations, hotels, motels, restaurants, rest areas, hospitals and emergency help. This makes travel pleasant, comfortable and safe.

CPEC, when completed, will create millions of jobs for a new Pakistan. While India is telling China that CPEC will be passing through disputed territory, it is trying to create bad blood Pakistan and China and trying to warn it that CPEC will turn Pakistan into a Chinese colony.

Pakistan and China must both understand India s motive.
