China Halts Gwadar Operations After Balochistan Attacks; Personnel Withdrawn

  • China has temporarily suspended all on-ground operations in Pakistan's Gwadar port city.
  • Chinese personnel have been withdrawn via special flights following recent coordinated attacks in Gwadar and Balochistan.
  • All Chinese-led on-site activity in the region has effectively halted, with projects under temporary suspension.
  • Pakistani support staff will continue ground-level work, while Chinese teams monitor remotely.
  • The move is a precautionary measure for security reassessment, not a withdrawal from Gwadar or CPEC investments.

Why It Matters: China suspends all ground operations and withdraws personnel from Gwadar due to security concerns after Balochistan attacks.
