The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is said to be the flagship project in China’s grand vision of extending its reach across Europe, Africa and Asia. This article examines its implications for Pakistan, and the likelihood of China ultimately building a naval base at Gwadar to extend its military reach to the Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean. The research also focuses on the project’s impact on internal civil-military relations, the concerns of Pakistan’s provinces, and whether CPEC will bring peace or confrontation to the region.
