📢 Influencers Under Scrutiny in Pakistan

Pakistani YouTuber Saad ur Rehman, aka Ducky Bhai, with over 10 million subscribers, has reportedly been arrested by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency at Lahore Airport.

🔹 Sources suggest the arrest may be linked to a 2024 controversy, where Ducky Bhai and his wife displayed a weapon on social media — sparking debate over online responsibility.

🔸 The development comes during a wider state crackdown on digital content creators:

Recently, mobile data services in Balochistan were suspended for three weeks to curb separatist communications.

Experts note a growing trend of cyber regulations being used to shape online narratives in Pakistan.

📊 A 2023 study in the Journal of Cybersecurity highlights that in countries with rising internet pe*******on (Pakistan now at 40%+ users, ITU 2025), governments often tighten controls on digital influencers, balancing security vs. free expression.

💬 Ducky Bhai’s arrest is a flashpoint in Pakistan’s ongoing digital regulation debate.

🚢 Gwadar is getting a big upgrade.
On August 8, 2025, Pakistan and China signed a deal to improve Gwadar Port, part of the $54 billion China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). China has managed the port since 2013 and plans to make it a major trade hub linking Central Asia to the Arabian Sea.

💡 Key Facts:

🇨🇳 China’s role grows — 30% of Pakistan’s foreign debt is owed to Chinese entities (Atlantic Council, 2023).

📊 Local jobs concern — Only 10% of CPEC jobs help local people due to military control (Journal of Asian Security, 2023).

⚠️ Security risks — In 2024, the Balochistan Liberation Army attacked Chinese engineers in Gwadar.

🌏 Experts say this deal will deepen Pakistan’s economic ties with China and increase competition with India and the U.S. in the region.

🚨 U.S. Tariffs Slam India Amid Russia Oil Tensions
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has levied a 50% tariff on Indian imports — including a 25% surcharge specifically triggered by India’s ongoing purchase of Russian oil.

🏛️ According to the White House, the decision stems from national security concerns tied to Russia’s role in the Ukraine war.

📈 Latest USTR data shows U.S. goods imports from India climbed to $87.3B in 2024, a 4.5% rise from the previous year — making India a top target for Trump’s aggressive “reciprocal tariffs” policy.

⚠️ Analysts warn that this could destabilize a $212B trade relationship, especially as Trump hints at further increases if India doesn’t reverse course.

🇺🇸🇮🇳 This marks a stark shift from the 2019 “Howdy Modi” alliance to a more confrontational posture, as geopolitical stakes rise and 2024 elections loom.
