A major crisis is unfolding at the Pakistan-China border as local traders in Gilgit-Baltistan block the Karakoram Highway. This ongoing protest against new federal taxes has stranded a large group of Chinese tourists, workers, and truck drivers at Sost, who have now joined the sit-in.<br />This video provides an in-depth look at the situation, revealing why local traders are protesting the tax policies, which they claim violate a long-standing tax exemption for the region. The disruption has halted cross-border trade, suspended immigration and customs services at the Khunjerab Pass, and led to growing tensions.<br />We delve into the demands of the local stakeholders and the need for urgent dialogue to resolve this critical issue affecting trade, travel, and regional stability.<br />#Ibexmedianetwork #IMN #newsupdate #sost #khujrabpass #GB #gilgit #skardu #hunza #Ghizer #Astore #kharmung #Shigar #Diamer #Ghanche #Nagar #gilgitbaltistan #PakistanChina #KarakoramHighway #CPEC #TradeProtest #BorderBlockade #PakistanNews #BreakingNews #GilgitBaltistanNews
