The captions attached to the video reads: “The 880 km highway between China and Pakistan, built within a record period of only 36 months, is now open to the public. See what it looks like .”
At the time of filing this report, the video was shared by almost 1,200 people on Facebook.

FACT CHECK
Team of fact-checks at NewsMobile checked the post and found the claim to be false
Though the video of the highway is real, the claim attached to it is FAKE as the road in the highway does not connect China and Pakistan.
On putting the screengrabs of the video through Reverse Image Search, we found a tweet by China Xinhua News who tweeted the same video on January 2nd, 2019 on their verified Twitter handle.

The highway in the video is the Yaxi expressway in China’s Sichuan and the 240 km bridge which is shown in the video connects Ya’an city and Xichang city in Sichuan.
Hence, the above claim is false.
