| Indications suggest that regional geopolitics and the global geostrategic chessboard are specifically targeting Pak-China bilateral relations and the CPEC project, leading to the proliferation of speculations and rumors within the country, akin to a spreading fire in the jungle. A systematic propaganda campaign has been initiated against CPEC, labeling it as a debt trap and a supposed security risk for Pakistan’s foreign relations with Western powers and financial institutions alike.
Rumors are high that after the Dasu Hydropower dam suicidal attack Chinese policymakers have decided to wind up the CPEC energy projects and shifted its priorities to Wakhan Corridor to get connected with Afghanistan and ultimately with Central Asian Countries.

Conversely, the Chinese leadership, policymakers and its Foreign Ministry all reiterated their unconditional support to government of Pakistan against its fight against terrorism and continuation of the CPEC Phase-II in the country thus negating the Western-sponsored propaganda against any paradigm shift in the Chinese policy and showing the real colors of Pak-China strategic friendship based on mutual respect, sacrifice, trust, accommodation and, above all, joint persuasions to achieve the desired goals of immense socio-economic integration, connectivity, prosperity and economic sustainability.
However, hot issues of safety, security of the Chinese nationals working in the country along with the CPEC projects must be protected through mutually agreed security arrangements. Chinese investigators arrived in Pakistan to join a probe into a recently held suicide attack in Bisham which claimed the lives of six people, including five Chinese nationals. It is high time to fix the faults and faulty lines to provide a risk-free environment for the Chinese workers, investment and joint ventures in the country. |
