Beijing pushes for China-Pak-style economic corridor with Bangladesh and Myanmar

China is pushing for an economic corridor linking Bangladesh and Myanmar, mirroring CPEC’s strategic importance. This initiative, discussed during Bangladesh PM Tarique Rahman’s China visit, aims to boost connectivity, with China developing the Mongla port. Beijing has also expressed openness to other nations joining this “transnational initiative,” which has drawn India’s attention due to its proximity to the eastern border.
