China’s rapid economic expansion is creating unprecedented growth and opportunity for Pakistan, according to Federal Tax Ombudsman’s Coordinator Saif Ur Rehman. Speaking at a round table conference on “Impact of China’s Growing Economy on Pakistan”, he highlighted that China’s robust industrial and technological progress is fostering economic development, regional integration, and long-term stability in Pakistan.

He explained that Chinese investments across manufacturing, agriculture, and technology sectors have become a cornerstone of Pakistan’s industrial expansion. These collaborations have generated thousands of new jobs, transferred vital technical expertise, and enhanced local productivity. The growing partnership has also strengthened Pakistan’s export potential by improving logistics infrastructure and giving local businesses access to larger regional and international markets.
Saif Ur Rehman emphasised that China’s increasing demand for agricultural products, minerals, and textiles presents Pakistan with valuable opportunities to diversify exports and stabilise its balance of payments. The deepening economic cooperation under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) continues to play a pivotal role in this transformation—modernising energy, transport, and port infrastructure while connecting Gwadar Port with western China and global trade routes.
He further noted that China’s economic rise is not only driving growth but also contributing to peace and shared prosperity across the region. Through mutual cooperation and sustainable development, Pakistan and China continue to reinforce a partnership that promises long-term benefits for both nations. As China’s influence in global trade grows, Pakistan’s role as a strategic and trusted partner is set to strengthen even further.
