If Pak didn't matter, why would there be so much attention to it and CPEC. Here is a day old documentary from the Wall Street Journal which explains exactly why the US remains interested in Pakistan; no, it's not "security" anymore.

Lots of propaganda, but some nuggets on why Pak can smartly leverage its relationships to help either China or the US as they need us for the number 1 spot.
Key point: In Pakistan, China and the U.S. are clashing over China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). To understand what's at stake, it helps to take a look at why China is in Pakistan in the first place.
Pakistan Matters! Pakistan can be in driver's seat if we stay focused on our development. Forget about other's priorities, they are better at us at taking care of their own needs.

- China and US are fighting for global dominance via new trade routes through Pakistan.
- Through CPEC and BRI, China can become the NEW center of Global Trade and overtake the US economically, while the U.S. wants to frustrate their hopes.
- US wants to discredit BRI by gaining leverage over Pak. IMF loans are the way currently to "expose" CPEC, at least that's what the media will say.
