Pakistani newspaper Dawn revealed proposals for the China Pakistan Economic Corridor to be built across thousands of acres of agricultural land being leased to Chinese enterprises.
A fibre-optic system clubbed with constant demonstrations will engender transmission of Chinese culture.
What is alarming out of all news is the fact Pakistan will become an economic colony of China. This colonization of sorts will be fuelled by CPEC.
Connectivity from Xinjiang to the Arabian Sea at Gwadar in Balochistan will be provided by Beijing.
A national fibre optic backbone will be used not only for internet traffic but also terrestrial distribution of broadcast TV. This plan will stronger Chinese ties with Pakistan in the media arena.
The sectors which have got the most attention in the plan, however, are cement and household appliances. These sectors have received precise and focused attention.
According to proposals for the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC),
thousands of acres of Pakistani agricultural land will be let out to Chinese enterprises (lessee).
This plan will engender deep integration into Pakistan’s economic life. China would come extremely close to the India’s east and west, as a consequence of this decision.
The land will be leased for projects ranging from seed varieties to irrigation technology. A comprehensive system of monitoring and surveillance will be in place. This system will operate from Peshawar to Karachi.
