Yes there is healthy competition but all provinces acted as one when needed, recent military operation against TTP is an example.
This is what is required. Competition between provinces to provide the best they can to their people and that in turn will benefit the nation as a whole.
You provide one good thing in a province and it directly or indirectly benefits other provinces.

Maybe there is something the people in the government know about the route which the common people or media does not know.
If China has agreed on a route of course they have done their research, study and analysis and made the decision. They did not just agree to something for the sake of agreeing it.
If need be each province can build a free trade and manufacturing zone in their respective provinces and build a road to link it to the corridor. Such zones do not have to be built right on the corridor. You can connect these zones to the corridor by a purpose built road some KMs in length.
This is just a small example, imagine if the right people sit and study this, you may have at least one free trade zone in land or on the sea (like Jabal Ali free Zone for example) in each province connected to the corridor by a road.
Baluchistan will get Gwadar Free Zone connected to the corridor
Sindh can build it’s own free trade and manufacturing zone on the sea or inland and connect to the corridor.
KPK can do the same by establishing an inland free trade and manufacturing zone and connect it to the corridor and also connect the zone to the road leading to Afghanistan.
Punjab can do the same by establishing an inland free trade and manufacturing zone and connect it to the corridor.
Well in provinces where the rivers flow they can study about an inland free zone built on the banks of a river and some sort of water transportation be developed providing some sort of service to such free zones. China has one such special economic zone built on a river (I don't remember the name now).
Imagine at least 5 free zones as mentioned above (one in each province) competing to attract foreign and local investors by providing best possible services and facilities, and the result to the nation as a whole.

We can also develop the current EPZ's in different provinces and link them to the corridor.
