Abstract

Chinese investment in South Asia is growing rapidly and constantly since the last decade. Within a very short span China has become one of the largest sources of foreign capital among all the South Asian nations. Chinese investment in this region ballooned especially after the launch of Beijing’s highly ambitious plan Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Chinese investment has primarily targeted physical infrastructure projects such as port, road, and power generation in most of the countries in the region. BRI played a critical role in boosting Chinese investment in South Asia as this region holds a great importance to this initiative. Except India and Bhutan, all other South Asian nations have participated in the BRI. Pakistan and Sri Lanka are among the largest BRI partners in the world. Though BRI brought several benefits to the participants it was accompanied by numerous challenges.
