Would it be possible or not too costly to plant trees and other vegetations along the highways、motorways and railways that are getting built in Pakistan？

We always do. M-2 and M-3 are very scenic.

Sure, China is going to ´own´ Pakistan. Why don't you just lay aside the hate and accept that sometimes there is a win-win situation. China wants to diversify it's energy corridors, and Pakistan is an all weather ally. And bordering China. And it has a nice big fat port near the middle east. So that's why they invest. Not to 'own' Pakistan.
