This paper investigates the challenges and opportunities in Pakistan for China’s investment. Since Pakistan and China has prolonged political relationship and connecting geographical location, the CPEC agreements was finally signed, which provides wide range opportunities exist for China’s investors. The availability of natural resources, labor and convenient port are main opportunities for China’s investment while terrorism and infrastructure are main challenges. Besides, the empirical analysis results show that determinants including investment freedom, resource endowment, interest rate and labor have positive association with China’s investment to Pakistan while attack and trade are negatively correlated. The study suggests that Pakistan government should provide high level securities for investors in order to increase FDI inflow from China.
