Yes indeed, there are lot commercial & industrial activities are linked in & created lot of job opportunities...
Though the main benefits will be start coming in when the projects will be fully functional as there are lots of projects are under construction....
The focal point of this investment is...its started appearing on ground as a realty & increasing further support & sympathy towards the China as a brother country to the nation....
Not like so called previous investments from other powers which remained only on papers or in media & ended up in corrupt leadership hands (basically were given to just fulfill there on vested interests instead of the betterment of the daily lives of people of Pakistan)....
In deed. The full potential and benefit to the commoners will reveal when factories and logistic hubs are built along the road network, when they are connected to the power grid, when people can begin to work in these factories. Then commoners will be able to earn a decent income, the economical machine will begin to run in full speed.
Infrastructure building is always the first step, a risky high investment step that does not give immediate benefit, but if well done will guarantee a bright future.
Salute to everyone who devote to CPEC.
