#3 A possible future Chinese Communist Party Military Base for Logistical and Support Operations.

When the Pakis can't pay for it, the Chinese BRI contracts state that it will become property of the CCP. Like a lien, the property becomes owned by the debt holder. So your thinking is correct.

The Chinese Belt & Road 'initiatives' only seem to be targeted at countries with unstable finances, so rather insidious in their nature.

#4 This airport is likely a major long term financial liability, whether for Pakistan and/or China.

#5 Because your commander ordered you to fly in transports full of soldiers?

A sort of pop-up Kandahar Air Base.
