Who crippled Karachi and boxed in China in one go?
The United States.
Here's the play-by-play:

💥 How the U.S. Crippled Karachi & Boxed in China — One Move, Two Blows:
1. Crippling Karachi 🇵🇰⚓
War on Terror flooded Pakistan with dollars, arms, and instability.
CIA drone strikes and covert ops decimated tribal regions, radicalized generations, and fractured sovereignty.
IMF strings + dollar dependency made Karachi a hostage to external liquidity shocks.
As China tried to build CPEC (China-Pakistan Economic Corridor) through Gwadar, the U.S. and its allies:
Destabilized Balochistan.
Backed anti-China narratives and insurgent networks.
Karachi became a ticking economic bomb — too strategic to be free, too unstable to grow.
2. Boxing in China 🇨🇳📦
While Pakistan was softened, the U.S. also:
Pivoted to Asia with a network of military bases from Japan to Australia.
Strengthened Quad Alliance (India, Japan, U.S., Australia).
Backed India's rise as a counterweight to China — including naval expansion that directly threatens China’s energy lifeline through the Strait of Malacca.
CPEC, China's overland escape route, got choked in the same move that destabilized Karachi.
Belt and Road dreams ran into a Karachi-shaped wall of chaos.

🧠 Strategic Checkmate:
One region destabilized = Two global adversaries hemmed in.
Pakistan collapses inward, dragging China’s corridor ambitions with it.
China gets boxed in the Indo-Pacific, now forced to overextend elsewhere (Africa, Latin America).

Summary:
The U.S. didn’t need direct war.
It used proxy warfare, debt traps, covert destabilization, and diplomatic pivoting to:
Gut Pakistan’s strategic capital.
Thwart China’s westward economic corridor.
One shot, two scars.
