• China's ambitious CPEC project faces severe threats due to Pakistan's deteriorating security and political instability.
• A report by Italy's ISPI warns China might reconsider CPEC if Pakistan fails to ensure the safety of Chinese officials.
• Security concerns forced the online inauguration of Gwadar airport, as senior Chinese officials' safety could not be guaranteed.
• Attacks by the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) in Balochistan have severely impacted CPEC, making work at Gwadar Port risky.
