CPEC is about laying the trellis. It is for Pakistani's entrepreneurs to use the opportunity offered and develop industries that use and leverage what CPEC has laid down. Similiar to how plants grow use a trellis to grow.

Good news is this is happening. The early shoots of growth are begining to appear along the newly opened infrastructure. Below new industrial zone or M-4 industrial SEZ near Faisalabad. At nearly 4 miles on the axis of M-4 motorway this is impressive development taking place.
