Like the United States, many other countries and global analysts have highlighted the adverse effects of CPEC to Pakistani economy in the ,long run.  Unfortunately, Pakistan is so much entrapped into the contorted investment policy of China, it is very difficult for the former to get out of it.  China is the only big brother Pakistan has to keep them floating financially.  Needless to say China helps Pakistan on the diplomatic and social fronts also.  Without China's support, Pakistan will fold in a few days.  As the world knows, China does not  have a soft corner in their heart for Muslims which is visible from their actions against Muslims in the North-western Province Xijiang.  Muslims are not allowed to fast on Eid, they cann't grow their beard, they cann't give Muslim names to their kids, Chinese non-Muslm men are allowed to sleep with Muslim women, Muslims are not allowed to read quran, they are fed hog meat and so many other non-Muslims acts. Hence, Chinese long term policy is to acquire Pakistani land to satisfy their territorial expansion objective.  Secondly, Pakistan has lost confidence in the United States.  According to Pakistani government, the USA has ditched them in the past at the time of need.  Therefore, I do not think, Pakistan will be easily tilting towards America in that sense, unless America just opened up its exchequer to help Pakistan without any precondition, which this writer does not think is going to happen at least under President Trump's watch.
