Since Reuters is writing this up like it's just the norm for Pakistani PMs to be charged with crimes, rather than giving context, here's an article explaining that the US pushed Pakistani lawmakers to remove Khan. He was friendly to Russia and visited Putin just at the moment that the Special Military Operation began (aka invasion of Ukraine). He was also on a serious anti corruption campaign which would have threatened the very strings the US pulled to unseat him. He is hugely popular in Pakistan, and when there was an attempted assassination the crowd rallied around him to protect him.

I've followed the developing belt and road initiative and it works like this: China invests in various countries' infrastructure to expand trade capacity. So far the only criticism the western media has leveled at it is that it is supposedly a debt trap. And the big evidence for that is Sri Lanka's port. However, the majority of Sri Lankan debt is held by Western banks. The Chinese loan was not at a higher interest rate. Yet somehow, China is to blame? In what way do you consider the BRI to be a hegemonic project?
