Abstract: Abstract The essence of CPEC is the reorganization and redistribution of Pakistan’s domestic production factors, which is a kind of restructuring of the country’s existing industry spatial layout. Such large-scale adjustment and refactoring of production factors are of great significance on Pakistan’s industry spatial layout, hence the interests of all concerned parties must be taken into account. Meanwhile, the impact of terrorism cannot be ignored since Pakistan is at the periphery of the hotbed of international terrorism, the occasional terrorist attacks have become the primary threat to the country’s attraction of foreign investment. Terrorism has made the restructuring of Pakistan’s industry spatial layout more complicated. Given this, whether China and Pakistan can achieve their own strategic goals through the construction of CPEC is decided by the outcome of combating terrorism. This chapter interprets CPEC from the perspective of Pakistan’s industry spatial layout and offers suggestions for competent authorities, attempting to help CPEC projects maximize their return on investment (ROI).
