I'll give you an honest answer if you could consume with eyes wide open . It's not a secret, and your establishment knows it but won't openly say it. The following is real knowledge the US has on the deal, on Gawdar in this case.
1. Gwadar has zero to do with Chinese energy independence. Quite frankly, if that were the goal of the Chinese or the result of having Gwadar was some miraculous energy independence, the US would be pleased (believe it or not). That would make it a pure economic outcome
2. The ultimate Chinese goal for Gwadar is to prime it up as a military/ naval base for the Chinese. They have already got a 45-year full control lease on it, currently? That is going to turn into 99 eventually because they are doing what they did to Sri Lanka to Pakistan through the loan terms on CPEC. You will default on specific aspects of the loan and will be forced to give them full autonomous access to that port for far longer than 45 years
If we can come and help Pakistan grow on its own with fair, equitable loans and grants, maybe we have a chance at salvaging the situation for both Pakistan and ourselves. Unless, of course, if you want to be under bone-crushing debt under Chinese loan terms and rather give them your sovereign lands.
Was that honest enough and candid enough?
You are past tense in Pakistan. I am happy the Americans displayed their treachery at the right time. I should thank the Yanks for breaking up this treachery. That has shut the door permanently for any meaningful cooperation. Afghanistan is another front where we can hot up things if need be.
Cry rivers about CPEC. No one hears your concerns. Your treacherous American concerns are just that.
Pakistan China relations are here to stay and solidify. America is an enemy of Pakistan and we would like to keep it that way.
