China's economy has transitioned to medium-high speed growth, and China faces challenges in sustaining growth and taking a larger global role. The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) initiative aims to address these through infrastructure projects in Pakistan, including energy, road, rail, and port projects totaling $45.69 billion. CPEC provides opportunities for trade, logistics and other industries, but also challenges for Pakistan in ensuring local participation and benefits.
