Suspending the construction of two dams amid escalating attacks on Chinese interests in Pakistan. The frequency of attacks on sites linked to Chinese investments in Pakistan has recently escalated.

The most recent attacks prompted two Chinese companies to suspend work on two projects to build two hydroelectric dams in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, northwest of the country. China is a close ally of Pakistan and the value of its investments in it amounts to about 62 billion dollars, which were pumped within the so-called economic corridor.
