The reasonable spatial layout of industries is crucial to carbon reduction and high-quality economic development. This paper establishes a research paradigm for optimizing the industrial spatial layout and high-quality development in the context of carbon peaking. Based on the perspectives of industrial transfer, the static agglomeration index, dynamic agglomeration index, industrial gradient coefficient, and low-carbon competitiveness index are used to analyze industrial agglomeration, competition status, and low-carbon competitiveness. Taking the Great Bend of the Yellow River (the Bend) as an example, we analyze the current situation in industrial development, guide the orderly transfer of industry, and optimize the spatial layout of industries to achieve high-quality economic development. The results show that resource- and capital-intensive industries have obvious advantages in agglomeration, competitive edge, and low-carbon competitiveness, while labor- and technology-intensive industries have weak advantages. The spatial layout of agglomerated industries was analyzed across four types of factor-intensive industries; these industries are the focus of industrial layout in the Bend. Promising industries were observed in all types of factor-intensive industries except capital-intensive industries, and these industries should be cultivated carefully in all provinces. Scale industries were mainly observed in resource- and capital-intensive industries; these industries should be transformed and upgraded to control the total amount and intensity of carbon emissions. The study’s findings provide a basis for optimizing the spatial layout of industries and reducing carbon emissions through industrial transfer in the context of carbon peaking. The relevant industries should be transformed and upgraded to control the total amount and intensity of carbon emissions.

China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is blessing for Pakistan and China. China and Pakistan have best political relations. CPEC is going to boost up the economic relations between both countries. China’s participation in the development of Gwadar Port took the international attention. Planning the development of Gwadar port becomes an important content of CPEC. This way Gwadar port has entered into a new development period. Due to their potential impact on the strategic pattern of the Indian Ocean and because of its strategic importance, there is international repercussion, also have other difficulties such as cost, security issues in Pakistan and Power crises and other issues. This paper attempts to explain the challenges, due to security issues, culture difference, energy and political crises in Pakistan, conflict in Baluchistan, and external pressure. Finally, this paper discusses some specific measures of barriers, solutions and suggestions. CPEC will be a game changer on the regional canvas and is expected to bring prosperity and improve quality of life in general to the region and in particular to Pakistan. There is a dire need to take on board all the regional and global players by addressing their concerns for early establishment of CPEC. 中巴经济走廊之问题/障碍、及巴基斯坦与中国的重要使命 摘要 中巴经济走廊是对巴基斯坦与中国的赐福。中国与巴基斯坦有着最佳的政治关系。中巴经济走廊将大大提升两国之间的经济关系。中国参与瓜达尔港的建设这一举动举世瞩目。该港口的规划和发展也成了中巴经济走廊的重要内容。瓜达尔港也因此进入了新的发展阶段。这对于印度洋战略布局有着潜在影响，加上其本身的战略重要性，引起了国际震荡，同时巴基斯坦还存在着诸如成本、安全及能源危机等困难。本文解释由于安全因素、文化差异、巴基斯坦能源与政治危机、俾路支冲突、及外来压力带来的挑战。最后，本文讨论了解决障碍的具体措施、解决方案及建议。中巴经济走廊将会是区域经济版图的改变者，也将给区域，尤其是巴基斯坦，带来繁荣并提高生活质量。因此，为了早日建成中巴经济走廊，迫切需要区域与国际持份者的参与；为此，需先解决他们对加入中巴经济走廊建设的疑虑。 关键词：中巴经济走廊的问题和挑战，中巴经济走廊的战略风险解决方案，瓜达尔港的问题，驻巴基斯坦中国公司的障碍，中巴经济走廊
