Abstract

<jats:p>China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is a strategic game-changer development projects both for China and Pakistan with varying interests. For the successful implementation of CPEC, various cooperation mechanisms were signed between China and Pakistan. This cooperation mechanism has been perceived differently by different stakeholders. The mechanism of cooperation seems like a complex phenomenon due to the interest articulation and contradictions of the capitalist model of cooperation. Moreover, cooperation also needs adaptation to produce and reproduce capital in the case of CPEC related projects. An attempt has been made in this paper to explore the mechanisms of cooperation on CPEC. Who is benefiting from this cooperation? And how this cooperation mechanism is being translated into a project of game-changer.' In a capitalist structure, the control over means of production and private ownership creates a nature of competition protected by existing institutional arrangements to strengthen a structure of profiteering. Cooperation is totally opposite to competition, and primarily it depends on the socialistic principle of sharing and caring.</jats:p>
