This article brings up some valid points, but it does seem a bit one-sided. CPEC did address major gaps in Pakistan’s infrastructure, like roads and electricity, which were serious issues before. It doesn’t seem fair to dismiss these projects as having “no value,” since basic infrastructure is essential for any country’s progress. Also, expecting investments in high-tech fields like chip manufacturing feels a little unrealistic when foundational needs still aren’t fully met. Big projects like CPEC need time to show their long-term impact, so it seems a bit early to judge its effectiveness completely.
