another miracle added to a long list of miracles in our history which have kept us going
1.creation of pak.
2.survival of pak afer 71
3.existence of pak depsite of being one of the most corrupt nations on the face of the earth
4.becoming a nuclear power
5.CPEC despite best possible efforts by politicians to make it another kalabagh dam.

China's total international trade in 2014 was $4.301 trillion (exports $2,342 trillion + imports $1.959 trillion). Due to savings in time and money, it is estimated that major portion of this trade may be routed through CPEC. However, for calculation purposes, if only 20% of this trade is routed thru CPEC/Gwadar, it means about 1,560,000 TEUs containers shall be passing Pakistan in a year; 4,273 containers a day shall be existing/entering Sust which means 3 container every minute have to be custom-checked and cleared.
With around 8 days travel time and 1 or 2 days for loading /unloading, a chain of about 42,730 containers shall always be on the roads of Pakistan at any time, with about 128,000 Chinese trailer drivers/assistants.SUPRA

I think we are not prepared for the influx . We are in habit of counting the chicks before they hatch.

Imagine hundreds of Chinese trucks awaiting for a clearance from Sust to cross border in a long haul.

We need more Sust like ports in GB otherwise this will go nowhere.
We also need to be prepared for accidents and weather conditions that will add to delays and build detours and response teams to make sure the traffic keeps moving ...

that's why there is an eastern and western route.. Don't forget Karachi will also be playing a role here.

Western route starts from Burhan/M1 interchange.What do you do before that between Khunjerab and Gilgit which is a single route.

Alhamdulillah

True... because if the terrain it would be difficult to have multiple paths... maybe in the future.
