The Magnitude of construction and speed of work is f*king unbelievable.
In above video new buildings can be seen in the background, just a few month back which was just a flat piece of land.

I would say it’s stil very slow progress.
What were the expectation? What are the major milestones accomplished in last 10 years?
Gwadar city should have been operational by now but I guess it’s still work in progress. The way things are going, It might be fully operational by 2030.

On 22 March 2002, the Government of Pakistan began construction of Gwadar Port, a modern deep-sea port, Phase I of which was completed in March 2007. Gwadar Port was inaugurated on 20 March 2007. In 2013, China Overseas Port Holdings Limited acquired Gwadar Port. Before 2013 we were doing things on our own therefore the progress was slow. After China acquired it, fast progress started and It is pretty fast keeping in view that the same level of construction is going on all across the country as in motorways,dams and airports. So the true mapping of Gwadar' progress should start from 2013. And according to that, the level of construction is enormous.

Chines have built ghost cities within few years. Government should build the necessary institutions to make Gwadar operational.
Currently We are still too far away from it.

Not good. We should have a processing plant here in Pakistan. Who exports tiles, not rocks.

we have many factories for natural marble processing but the expenses related to such factorises, their small small scale of operations, untrained labour, primitive technology related to mining and processing are few factors which have almost killed our industry above all now decreasing demand in local market is like the last straw at the back of this Industry; now people are using ceramic tiles more than natural marble tiles, in these circumstances it seems difficult revive this industry.

Majority of our labor force is unskilled. Chinese are bring the investment but they also bringing their own labor and doesn’t relay on Pakistani labors. Pakistani must ask Chinese to invest in training our labor force in various CPEC projects. I am a firm believer that western route is the best option for CPEC. This will create many Jobs and populate many small cities on western route.

bhai don't fall for propaganda have you seen Chinese labour in any project ...??
only some technicians and engineers are working with Pakistani engineers and technicians, just yesterday there was a news article shared at this forum which was mentioning that ~60,000 Pakistanis are employed by only two Chinese company working on CPEC projects and we know there are many other companies and many other projects are at different stages of constructions/completion by Chinese companies so you can estimate how many more Pakistanis are employed by those companies.

Majority of our labor force is unskilled.

skill development and technical colleges are needed here, we need to change are education policy, just as example we know every years around million or so pupil pass there higher school/Intermediate examination from two disciplines Pre-Engineering and Pre- Medical but how many of them could secure the seats in professional engineering and medical Colleges/Universities all over Pakistan may be few thousands ....

So the question is why do so many pupil chose to select these two discipline which in return If they fail to secure their seats in professional universities/colleges does not give them any skill to go further in their lives ...??? answer is simple because they do not have any other choice

Most of the workers and labour on CPEC are local Pakistanis. CPEC projects is also providing a great opportunity to Pakistani engineers. Not every Chinese worker on CPEC are engineers, many are trades people and technicians with experience on other overseas projects or at home.

Many CPEC projects are mega projects that takes years to complete. We may want a dam or nuclear power plant now but we can't just will it into existence instantly. It takes thousands of people working tirelessly behind the scenes. Infrastructure is only really appreciated by the masses once its complete, thus it can be easy to forget the efforts during the process of construction.

Nuclear power plant construction. Uses 10% more steel reinforcement than the same types in China. A talented engineer that goes by Syed received experience in China and has gone on to train a group of Pakistani apprentices.

Dam construction

Gwadar port, frozen fish export

Wind turbines

Rail tunnel project in Uzbekistan hires local labour and engineers.

Same is true of projects in Tajikistan

On a side note, China's largest overseas embassy is located in Islamabad, Pakistan. This shows the importance of this relationship in the eyes of China and China is grateful for the sizable land provided to the Chinese embassy by Pakistan.
