$60B Pakistan-China CPEC Project Under Direct Threat

I expect the Chinese to go easy on pakistanis
You could be right but historically china has converted a very very small percentage of loans into aid. They don't give free lunches. And why should they be charitable ? They have worked their way up.

what makes you think USA will stay out of such a war ?

No matter what American did, doesn't change the reality over disputed land of Kashmir. US can not deal with Taliban, got bloody noise, spent trillions, and humiliated.

it took 100 special forces troops + US air power to topple Taliban regime

We just implement. We seldom internally raise a project need . Its the user who raises a request.
CPEC is a strategic requirement, but for China. Why is Pakistan assuring profit returns to the Chinese ? Let the Chinese invest and take the financial risk.

Strictly using your terminology, CPEC is a program, composed of multiple projects with a long term program roadmap. Some of those projects would be, as you said, of strategic importance to China only, some of strategic importance to Pakistan and some mutually beneficial. So naturally a negotiation would have taken place (actually many) before it was agreed upon. Using agile approach, specifics can always change as per the circumstances in coming years.

If you expect Pakistan to give you exact answers and specific details because (Indian) Nation Demands Answers, probably PDF is not the right place to seek so precise answers.

It's fear that drives them.
Despair that amplifies that fear.
India has had the better of the battle against Pakistan due to many and varied factors, many of our making, many thrust upon us against our will.
Starting with the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan 40 years ago, the sanctions imposed upon us, the corrupt politicians, the Indian propaganda war that painted us as terrorist, the coercive participation in the WoT, Indian funded Baloch terrorism, Indian funded TTP, this list is not exhaustive, have been challenges that Pakistan has faced and been made to face. Pakistan has overcome them all. We have paid a heavy price in blood and treasure but we are still here, not as wealthy as we might have been, but stronger than ever. Not only are we stronger but with the US now leaving Afghanistan, we have thrown off most of the monkeys off our back.
The challenges we have faced will never return. They are ammunition in the inventory of our enemies which has been spent and we have weathered everything they have thrown at us and survived. The circumstances that enabled our enemies to succeed are no more.
The tables are turned and our enemies know this.
The only option they had left was direct war under the nuclear threshold. On that front we deflated their balloon last February and the Chinese have completely burst that balloon in Ladakh.
The Indians are spent.
The isolators are isolated.
Pakistan is on an upward trajectory to realise it's potential as not only an economic, but a regional power, and it's enemies have shot their load and failed to achieve their objectives vis a vis the destruction and dismemberment of Pakistan.
There was a time we were vulnerable, but we are vulnerable no more.
Our time in the sun is coming and we are ready.
Our enemies had better be ready too.
We have long memories.
Well said. History witness the spine of Pakistanis.
