Abstract: The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) which has recently completed the ten years of its success in the year 2025 has advanced into next phase of the agreement what is known as the CPEC 2.0 aimed to transfer of technology cooperation in the green energy, and improvement in the AI sector as well as agricultural advancement. The bilateral ties between two states has strengthened between Peoples Republic of China and Pakistan since their establishment of ties in 1950s and with the CPEC the ties has turned into economic partnership.With the Trump administration’s tariff war, and his policies of dictating terms over the other states including the US role in establishment of Board of Peace for the Gaza, as well as its continued support to the Ukrainian forces against the Russia, the kidnap of the Venezuelan President Niccolo Maduro, and the putting pressure on Iranian regime to come to its terms made the world an anarchic due to the unpredictability and unreliability of the Trump’s decisions.The role of Pakistan and China during these troubled times has remained well due to the fact that Beijing’s leverage over the Tehran as well as Islamabad’s commitment to establish peace in its neighborhood and friendly ties with both powers and good times with neighbors made it a suitable choice. In these chaotic times when US has left its allies Beijing stood with its partners not only strengthening their defence ties but also enhance their bilateral economic cooperation via CPEC.
