Situational Forecast

Issues with regionalism, security and implementation will


ensure that the eastern corridor of CPEC infrastructure project is
prioritized over the western corridor.

The nature of the obstacles the project must overcome


means that progress will move forward in fits and starts

Whatever the status of the CPEC, the relationship between


China and Pakistan will strengthen, enhancing Chinas presence in
South Asia.

Analytical Overview:
The partnership between Pakistan and China is one of the
strongest in Asia. Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif once said
that his countrys ties with Beijing are higher than mountains and
deeper than oceans. In May 2015, those sentiments were given
form when Chinese president Xi Jinping, on his first visit to
Pakistan, signed $28 billion worth of agreements as part of the
proposed $46 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.
The ambitious project, which when complete would link China with
two Pakistani ports, faces an array of challenges. But if completed
as planned, it will help stimulate Pakistani economic growth,
particularly in its more impoverished western region. It would also
further strengthen Chinese influence in the region and give it an
export corridor to the Arabian Sea.
Foundations of the CPEC:
The two branches of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC)
consist of a network of roads, railways, energy pipelines and other
infrastructure projects that will run from the city of Kashgar in
Chinas western Xinjiang province through each of Pakistans major
cities before terminating at the Arabian Sea ports of Gwadar, near
Iran, and Karachi, to the east. The initiative demonstrates the
expansion of the already-deep partnership between the two nations.
The CPEC, which, broadly speaking, is divided into eastern and
western corridors running the length of Pakistan, fits into the
Chinese trade diversification strategy dubbed the Belt and Road
Initiative.

Benefits of CPEC to Pakistan and China:


The project is vital to Pakistans economic ambitions and could
provide the basis for an economic boom. Estimates suggest that the
countrys current 4.5 percent annual growth rate could climb three
percentage points if the country can overcome the energy supply
problems plaguing the nation. Available electricity, for instance, falls
short of peak demand by some 7,000 megawatts, leading to daily
blackouts. Energy infrastructure investments associated with the
CPEC are meant to ameliorate a portion of that shortfall. The CPEC
can also help Pakistan achieve its goals of becoming a major
regional energy hub connecting the Middle East, Central Asia,
South Asia and China. The project would give China access to
energy supply routes linking Central Asia with South Asia as well.
Notably, the United States has pursued this same objective for two
decades, seeking to connect energy-abundant Central Asia to
energy-deficient South Asia by promoting the TurkmenistanAfghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) pipeline. But its construction has
languished under the enduring threat of militancy throughout
Afghanistan and Pakistan. Beijing fears that the militancy could spill
across its border gives it an incentive to stabilize the region, hence
its investment in Pakistan.
CPEC constitutes the largest proposed investment package in
Pakistans history and is being branded as a solution for the
countrys economic problems, one that will create jobs, grow the
economy and reform the energy sector. But unless Pakistan
implements structural reforms further democratizing the country,
uprooting corruption, strengthening civilian institutions and
bolstering the economy of its largest and poorest province,
Balochistan the effect of those benefits could be blunted.
Implementation Difficulties
While CPEC has been touted as a game-changer for Pakistan,
Islamabad will need to overcome several problems standing in the
way of its implementation. The first is regionalism. Rivalries among
Pakistans provinces of Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Sindh
and Balochistan each with its own strong cultural identities have
long stood in the way of forging an overarching national identity. In
particular, Balochistan, the countrys least-populous province, has

long accused Punjab, the wealthiest and most populous province,


of marginalizing its people. One grievance Balochis hold is that
Punjabis expropriated the operations of the Gwadar port, which is
being expanded under the CPEC, and delegated the port authoritys
administration, cutting Balochis out of the equation. (In November
2015, a Chinese firm signed a 43-year lease for the rights to
operate the port.)
Those regional rivalries have taken on a political dimension in
regard to the CPEC. In November, the Pakistani Senate Standing
Committee on Communication derided CPEC; one senator who
represents Balochistan called the project the China-Punjab
corridor and lamented the fact that its eastern corridor will be
prioritized over the western one. Indeed, political considerations
could help explain the unequal pace of development: Punjab is the
base of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharifs support, and development
there could boost the popularity of his Pakistan Muslim LeagueNawaz party ahead of 2018 elections.
Difficulties in implementing the CPECs constituent projects have
presented another obstacle. For instance, two high-priority electric
power infrastructure projects faced delays or cancellations because
of bureaucratic snags. That includes a land-lease issue that
imperiled a 1,320-megawatt generation plant planned by the Port
Qasim Electric Power Company, a project at the top of the CPECs
priority list. A water project under the Gwadar Port Authority faces a
quandary over the source of its funding. Any undertaking on the
enormous scale of CPEC will inevitably run into similar obstacles.
But the basic nature of the issues hampering these projects
suggests systemic problems.
Security concerns pose another challenge. CPECs western
corridor crosses through KPK and Balochistan, which have a history
of militancy. Chief of Army Staff Gen. Raheel Sharif assembled a
12,000-troop force to guard Chinese engineers working on CPEC,
demonstrating the importance the military gives the project. In 2004,
attacks by the Balochistan Liberation Army killed three Chinese
engineers, while in 2007 militants bombed a bus carrying Chinese
engineers. In 2015, pipelines were targeted 10 times in militant
attacks, and in March 2015, attackers set five fuel trucks on fire and
kidnapped four of their drivers. But under the militarys watch, there

have been no reported attacks this year on pipelines in Balochistan.


And in April, 144 Balochi militants surrendered to the army.
The military wants to expand its involvement in CPEC beyond
handling security, seeking a project management role as well.
Because CPEC has been advancing slowly, the militarys proposal,
which fits squarely into Pakistans military-civilian dynamic, could be
seen as a way to boost progress. However, Ahsan Iqbal, Pakistans
minister of planning, development and reform, argued against
giving the military a role in development, saying that the
accompanying increase in bureaucracy would only further slow
CPECs progress. Even so, it is likely that the Chinese have
requested that the military take on a management role, given the
civilian governments difficulties.
Going Forward
Because Pakistans political, economic, and human capital is
concentrated along the Indus River, which runs longitudinally
through the countrys eastern half, it is natural that the eastern
segment of the CPEC will develop faster. Indeed, in fiscal 20152016, Islamabad allocated only 15 percent of the 130 billion rupees
($1.24 billion) in CPEC funding to the western route, with the
remainder going to the eastern route. The eastern corridors
terminus, the Port of Karachi, is already the countrys busiest,
processing 60 percent of Pakistans seaborne cargo. Islamabad
recently signed agreements with China worth $4.2 billion for
highway construction projects in the eastern corridor. The western
route, on the other hand, ends at the underdeveloped port at
Gwadar, which is expected to process about 1 million tons of cargo
next year, a fraction of its envisioned capacity of up to 400 million.
The large troop contingent deployed along the western route of
development may contain the immediate security concerns there,
but it is only a temporary solution to a longer-term problem. If
underlying issues in Balochistan, including political and economic
exploitation and a lack of autonomy, are not addressed, the region
will grow even more restive. Concerns about unrest give politicians
from the more powerful and influential Punjab and Sindh regions an
excuse to push more development east, leaving western provinces
to languish. This in turn means that Balochistan would remain

underdeveloped, sustaining the grievances of the Balochi


secessionists.
Whether or not the proposed CPEC projects materialize, it is
important to consider that such an undertaking, massive though it
may be, is only one of the many ties that bind Pakistan and China
together. The strategic interests of both nations dictate that their
relationship, especially in economic development, will only improve.

The essay on Kashmir Issue and dispute discusses the recognition of this world
problem by UNO and the three parties to it Kashmir Issue: An Outline: (1)
Introduction: the beginning of an issue (2) U.N's efforts to resolve it (3) lndo-pak
stance on this problem (4) Present situation in Kashmir (5) A nuclear zone and
the Kashmir dispute (6) Conclusion: Various solutions to the problem of Kashmir.
According to the original plan of June 3, 1947, the States forming the then Indian
State were advised b the British crown: "to accede to India or to Pakistan,
bearing in mind the geographical situation of their respective states, the
composition of their population and the wishes of their people." But the Maharaja
of Kashmir acceded to India against the wishes of his people, composition of the
population of Kashmir i.e. 77% Muslims at that time and the geographical
conditions. A war was imposed by India in the valley and the Pakistan forces
supported the Kashmiri fighters struggling for their cause. Pakistani forces and
the tribes- men gained almost one-third of the area until a cease fire was
imposed by U.N.O In 1948, when Pakistan involved into the war, India went to
U.N.O for help and United Nations passed a resolution that a plebiscite will be
held in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. It means that the people of that region
were to decide either to choose Pakistan or India for allegiance. But unwillingness
of India for the plebiscite delayed the solution of this dispute. India and Pakistan
have different angles to look at the problem. Pakistan believes that seventy
seven percent of the Kashmiris were Muslim at the time of partition. And the
geographical conditions favour that Kashmir should be a part of Pakistan.
Pakistan terms the accession of Kashmir to India as invalid because the Maharaja
had a "Standstill Agreement" with Pakistan. The agreement does not allow for
any accession. But the Indians believe it as their 'integral part' because the
Maharaja had a legal accession to India. The present situation of Kashmir is
getting worse with dozens of casualties every day. The Kashmiris want their right
of self-determination while Pakistan has been supporting the Kashmir cause since
1948 on all forums of the world. The long resisted frustration has turned the
Kashmiris to violence at times; however, primarily they remained a peace loving
nation. However, at times incidents of kidnapping or killing of Indian occupying
forces is reported which shows their frustration. The terms between India and
Pakistan have been hostile and they have fought 3 full wars wasting billions of
Dollars of their poor tax payers. Any ignition to the problem of Kashmir may lead
the two states at warring condition which would, in turn, be catastrophic. A
strong resolve must be shown by both the neighbouring countries in resolving
the problem of Kashmir with graveness and temperance. Otherwise, a nuclear

war may break out in South East Asia. There are various models of the solution to
Kashmir issue. We may think of the model applied to Cyprus by Turkey and
Greece. There is yet another option to make Kashmir an arms free trading zone.
It can even be freed and made an independent republic but the wishes of the
people of Kashmir must bear due weightage. Our world is our home and ours is
the only planet in the universe where life exists. We must learn to live happily
with our neighbours; however, it is possible only if we settle all our disputes.
