What is CPEC
The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is an ambitious plan of Chinese President Xi Jinping. It was started in 2013. In this, an economic corridor is being built from Gwadar in Pakistan to Kashgar in China for $ 50 billion (about Rs 3 lakh crore). Through this, China will have access to the Arabian Sea. Under CPEC, China is working on the road, port, railway, and energy projects.
