This refers to the article, ‘Local industries and the CPEC’ (Sept 30) by Zahoor Khan Marwat. The writer highlighted a few common industries between China and Pakistan like cotton and leather. These common industries will damage the country’s economy. The prices of Chinese products are cheaper than those of the local industries.
Pakistan’s cotton and leather are the world’s best exports and have been recognised globally so these sectors will not be affected much. The country should make the most of commonly available raw materials. All in all, the existence of industries of two states creates a healthy competition and good employment options.
