Abstract
China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is an opportunity
that is expected to bring development, growth and prosperity
directly for Pakistan and indirectly for neighboring countries. As
such, there has been a great deal of discussion about CPEC and
many advantages have been highlighted by experts. However,
literature on CPEC- as the two sides of the picture has been
lacking. Therefore, this study made an attempt to answer;
whether CPEC would be an opportunity for a prosperous
Pakistan or it would be a mirage of Growth and Development?
To answer this, this study compiles CPEC associated virtues and
iniquities as per available in literature, the study also
considered the logical understanding of authors on the
phenomenon of interest. The findings indicate that perks
associated with CPEC are far greater than the expected pitfalls
and will indeed benefit economic development of Pakistan in the
future. To sum up, this study concluded that CPEC will open
new horizons of development, economic growth and prosperity
for Pakistani nation in years to come and will be the game
changer for the country. Also, the limitations of the study have
been discussed to direct the future studies on the topic.
