This is such a good news. People to people interaction is vital part for success of CPEC. I guess I might end up travelling on this bus service one day, only down side is they should try to reduce travel time with better road infrastructure

People to people need to happen ASAP to counter the western narative about the Uighurs and Xinjiang more Pakistanis should visit their neighbor up north the PRC and see what happens actually there if less people to people interaction more issues arise regarding culture and values so better to see the actually thing then comment or guess anyways.PAK-CHINA DOSTI ZINDABAD
