Madikeri Abu asked Tariq Mahmood:

Liked your review of Silk Road by Peter Frankopan. Also agree with your views on the embargo by US on Iran, but may I ask you, as an Indian, what is your view about CPEC (China Pakistan Economic Corridor)? Is it economically helpful for Pakistan or as we hear and read in our media here that people of Baluchistan are dead against it.

Tariq Mahmood The poor people of Pakistan need as much opportunity as possible. CPEC will invite direct Chinese investment, means more jobs for people in Baluchistan, Kashmir and other provinces of Pakistan. Already many private schools in Pakistan have started teaching the Chinese language.
