oh i thought you were referring to India's project . No doubt the CPEC has alot to offer and i agree with you it will exceed the 100 bill mark in near future.Most of the investment is to meet the energy demands and contruct the infrastructure, this is the first step, next step will be to capatalize on these investments that means establishing industries and making Gwadar a trade and industrial Hub.
Talks are already going on to add aditional projects into CPEC in addition to $46 billion so technically the $46 billion will increase as CPEC moves on
The numbers are not meaningless in any case .CPEC project is undoubtedly bigger project then India-Iran .Its lot more then just letting China use the gwader port ,it provides a lot of other energy and technological investments as well.The most meaningless set of numbers? What exactly do they say?
I don't even know why these two projects are even being compared. Goal for each seems to be different. One is to give China a corridor to its western regions via Pakistan. Other wants to create an alternate route to Afghanistan.
In the future I can see both routes vying for access to CAR.
Reason behind why the numbers are compared is simply because India's project is directly or indirectly a response to CPEC. And that is being presented like this by your very own media and its talk shows not us.
