China will do what it wants. It owns the Gwadar port hence will not take instructions from anyone.

Transit trade through Gwadar to and from Afghanistan started. Much more coming. Understandable why India sending 'missing BLA persons'.

Without any compensation, the ban imposed on fishing in Gwadar and its surrounding coastal waters would constrained local poor fishermen's livelihood and destroy local fishery industry.

PTI said details of all cpec will be transparently shared Not like the other governments that took loans with no transparency. So no future government can ask for a commission report like the recent IPP report. Which mysteriously disappeared somehow!
