This study's aim is to investigate the role of e-governance in combating COVID-19 by integrating the implications of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). We discuss and analyze the E-Government Development Index (EGDI) reports and rankings issued by the United Nations and big data implications during the COVID-19 pandemic. We used the Origin-pro 2018 application for the analysis and discussion. Overall, China's EGDI ranking has improved from 74 to 65 out of 193 countries, while Pakistan's ranking has gradually declined from 137 to 148. 5G and other big data technology and e-governance implications have helped to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. In this pandemic scenario, sustainable socioeconomic development in Pakistan needs significant improvement, similar to what has been done by China. We conclude that CPEC can help combat the COVID-19 pandemic because both countries are working together to mitigate social and economic problems. Pakistan should adapt and learn from the Government of China's experience of successful and proficient e-governance model of technological advancement. This effort will ensure successful CPEC regional extension and help combat the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure Pakistan's sustainable development.
本研究的目的是通过整合中巴经济走廊（CPEC）的影响来调查电子政务在抗击新冠肺炎疫情中的作用。我们讨论并分析了联合国发布的电子政务发展指数（EGDI）报告及排名，以及新冠肺炎疫情期间的大数据影响。我们使用Origin-pro 2018应用程序进行分析和讨论。总体而言，在193个国家中，中国的EGDI排名从第74位升至第65位，而巴基斯坦的排名则从第137位逐渐降至第148位。5G及其他大数据技术和电子政务的影响有助于抗击新冠肺炎疫情。在这种疫情形势下，巴基斯坦的可持续社会经济发展需要大幅改善，就像中国所做的那样。我们得出结论，中巴经济走廊有助于抗击新冠肺炎疫情，因为两国正在共同努力缓解社会和经济问题。巴基斯坦应借鉴中国政府在技术进步方面成功且高效的电子政务模式的经验。这一努力将确保中巴经济走廊在区域内成功拓展，并有助于抗击新冠肺炎疫情，以确保巴基斯坦的可持续发展。
