Chinese Premiers visit was NEVER officially announced by China. Here is excerpt from Chinas Foreign Ministry Official web site (link below) and their take on current crisis: Q: Media reports said that China has cancelled President Xi Jinpings visit to Pakistan out of security concerns. Can you confirm that? A: China and Pakistan are friendly neighbors enjoying all-weather friendship and comprehensive cooperation. We have maintained close high-level exchanges. Both sides are in close communication on the next step of such exchanges. It is worth pointing out that we have never released any information about President Xis visit to Pakistan officially. So, there is no basis to say we are about to cancel anything. As for the current security situation in Pakistan, we hope relevant parties in Pakistan can work together while bearing in mind the fundamental interests of the state and the people, and jointly safeguard national security. fmprc.gov.cn/mfa_eng/xwfw_665399/s2510_665401/t1188665.shtml
