Since the beginning of CPEC which is a mega project of China’s One Belt One Road (OBOR) strategy and is a great step in cementing Pak-China nexus, is also seen and surmised by the world powers as a paradigm shift
in the power politics that might lead towards new polarizations. World powers are showing varied attitudes towards CPEC and are keenly observing new developments.
