China is using the Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project to carry out illegal activities. At a time when Pakistan is struggling to handle its declining economy, China instead of helping is trying to take advantage of the situation.
While what is happening is not surprising at all, in fact, China’s devious intentions behind building this infrastructure are becoming more and more apparent.
Taking advantage of this project, China is now smuggling women from Islamic countries. A report in 2019 said that Chinese people come to Pakistan and marry minor girls of other religions and take them back to their country.
Human trafficking on the pretext of marriage
According to the experts of the world, China is doing human trafficking in the name of marriage and Pakistan has not done anything to stop it. Keeping in mind that the Islamic country has to repay the debt of China, Pakistan is silent on this issue, even helping in the trafficking of girls. It is believed that Chinese people are taking the girls to their country on the basis of fake business documents.
Reports say that an amount ranging from $35000 to $5000 is given to these girls.
