– A new wave of militancy has threatened the next phase of CPEC – and potentially the China-Pakistan relationship as mentioned at https://thediplomat.com/2024/05/the-china-pakistan-economic-corridor-is-under-attack/ . But for more than Pakistan it should be a matter of concern for India because it may constrain China (Which has spent tens of billions of dollars in CPEC Project in Pakistan as reported at https://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2023/07/07/cpec-attracted-25-4b-in-10-years-beijing/ ) to ‘ask’ Pakistan to handover PoJK (PoK + Gigit Baltistan) to China by 99 years lease agreement. China has already started strengthening military infrastructure in PoK (as reported at https://www.msn.com/en-in/money/topstories/china-enhances-military-support-to-pakistan-along-loc-in-kashmir/ar-BB1nfZ8K?ocid=BingNewsSerp and https://idrw.org/how-china-is-helping-pakistan-in-pok-with-military-supplies-along-loc/ ) and China is developing this military infrastructure in such a way that it can be used by Chinese military (the PLA with technologically advanced weapons and othe defense equipment ) and not merely by Pakistan military. Though India's help to the USA in likely Taiwan war is already not certain as discussed at https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/features/2022-11-14/if-china-invaded-taiwan-what-would-india-do ). This will of course eliminate any capability & possibility of India to help the USA in the likely Taiwan war and which will serve the intended objective of China.
