Chinas CPEC Crown Jewel Cracks, Pak's Gwadar Port Faces Baloch Threat, Local Anger And No Cargo

Gwadar was once promoted as the crown jewel of Chinas Belt and Road Initiative. The deep-sea port was supposed to help Beijing bypass the Malacca Strait, move energy through Pakistan and connect Xinjiang to the Arabian Sea. But the reality is starkly different. The port remains commercially underused, major shipping lines prefer established regional hubs and the industrial zones around Gwadar have struggled to take off. At the same time, Chinese workers, convoys and infrastructure have faced repeated attacks from Baloch insurgents. Local residents complain that the port has brought security restrictions, water shortages and limited employment. China cannot easily abandon Gwadar without admitting failure. But expanding the project means spending more money on a corridor that is expensive, vulnerable and politically unpopular. This report examines why Gwadar has become a liability for China and what its decline means for India and Chabahar.

America Is A Bully, Punch It In The Nose: Ambassador Rajiv Dogra's Blunt Message For India

Former Ambassador and author Rajiv Dogra delivered one of the sharpest lines, calling America a bully that backs off the moment it's confronted. He argues that India has been far too reluctant to do the confronting. Asked what leverage India actually has against Washington, unlike China's rare earths or technology cards, Dogra's answer is blunt: international behaviour doesn't run on cards, it runs on courage. He points to Iran, written off as unlikely to survive days of confrontation. He also refers to Ukraine, predicted to fall to Russia within three days. His message to India is unambiguous, stop waiting for the perfect strategic card and start acting with conviction. Watch his sharp, no-nonsense take on how India should deal with Trump's America.Watch the full episode of Axis Podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRwnH-hJhbk
