Pakistan and China’s Silk Road is a game changer

The Chinese President Xi Jinping has announced a 46 billion dollar investment plan during his recent visit to Pakistan. The China-Pakistan economic corridor will link deep water port of Gwadar in south west of Pakistan with Kashgar in China’s North West Xinjiang region. This proposed Silk Road will ensure China’s access to the Middle East, Africa and Europe.

This investment plan will finance road and energy projects. It will also spark economic activity in Pakistan and create jobs. This plan is more than double than total direct foreign investment since 2008 in Pakistan.

Asia has become extremely prosperous since it has thrown away the shackles of colonization by the West. The Asian century has started.
