CPEC Explained: From Phase 1 to CPEC 2.0 – Progress, Challenges & The Future | Green Science

Описание: Is CPEC truly a "game changer" for Pakistan, or is the reality on the ground more complicated? In this explainer, Green Science by Zarq Ezaz breaks down the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC)—the massive multibillion-dollar project that promises to redraw the map of global trade.


We move beyond the headlines to give you a crystal-clear briefing on what has actually been built, the shift to "CPEC 2.0," and the serious challenges the project faces today.

In this video, you will learn: 🇵🇰 The Fundamentals:

🏗️ The Evolution (CPEC 2.0):

The strategic pivot from "hardware" (roads/dams) to "software" (industrial cooperation and agriculture).


The 5 New Corridors designed to build a knowledge-based economy.


⚠️ The Reality Check:


Security Threats: Why nearly 10,000 security personnel are needed to protect just over 2,000 Chinese workers.


Major Delays: The stalling of critical projects like the ML-1 Railway and the Gwadar International Airport.


Local Impact: Why communities in Gwadar feel left behind.

📉 The Future:

The role of the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) in cutting red tape.
