USA assistance alone was 104 billion dollars from 2002-13 with half of it being financial aid(58 billion $)Jesus christ...5 times more then CPEC yet they didn't even bother to build one decent road. And I though Pakistan was corrupt.
so USA assistance for reconstruction alone is nearly 1.5x CPEC while total USA assistance 2002-13 is nearly 2.5 times CPEC
PS: CPEC will bring short term growth but long term growth will only come through Pakistanis own effort in health education agriculture and industrialization, other wise we might have booming economy as Afghanistan in mid 2000s and than nothing, they grew >10% during that era
