The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is fraught with serious geopolitical risks when we look at the ongoing geopolitical dynamics through the theoretical perspective of ‘geography of conflict’. The theoretical approach is inspired from the works of Robert D. Kaplan. The paper argues that the China’s growing footprint on the Gwadar port and its struggle for strategic control over the Western shores of the Indian Ocean would directly affect the border disputes between Pakistan and India and would make them a flashpoint of conflicts. It also finds that the CPEC has made the cold war between India and Pakistan more volatile in nature. This time United States has strategically allied and close to India against Sino-Pakistan nexus due to CPEC.
