If Imran is still in office by then maybe he has something to worry about : D
Nawaz Sharif’s proximity to Saudi Arabia is well known. By extension, the US sympathy and support for Nawaz Sharif cannot be denied. Nevertheless, post China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), China’s meddling into Pakistani politics has considerably increased. From the recent chain of events, it is difficult not to deduce that
the military + judiciary + Imran + China were arrayed against Nawaz + Saudi Arabia + US.
Why China’s special emphasis on Pakistan? It is probably because the main threat to the CPEC is now from the Pashtuns.

If the threat to CPEC is from Pashtuns why isn't he mentioning that Imran is a Pathaan. That's yet another ethnic group that gets to rule Pakistan now apart from Punjabis & Sindhis
The LeT candidates backed by the military fought under the banner of Allah-O-Akbar Tehreek. Hafiz Saeed’s son Hafiz Talha Saeed and son-in-law Hafiz Khalid Waleed also contested the elections. Though the LeT / JuD and Tehreek-e-Labaik contested 265 and 100 seats respectively, none of their candidates was close to victory. This was on the expected lines. These Deobandi and Barelvi radicals were fielded to nibble at the electoral support base of PML (N). Imran will always be indebted to these jihadi organizations for their valuable indirect support.
When Zardari made a strong move to bring the nuclear weapons of Pakistan under exclusive civilian control, the military-intelligence establishment of Pakistan staged 26/11.
Going by some Pakistani sources, the current hostility, rather enmity between Nawaz Sharif and the Military began after the surgical strikes. In the wake of these strikes, a high level meeting was held between the top civilian leadership and the military leadership. During this meeting, Nawaz Sharif’s brother Shahbaz Sharif, the CM of Punjab, is understood to have plainly conveyed that the military’s embrace of jihadis has put Pakistan in a diplomatic and economic fix. The civilian leaders insisted that Pakistan is becoming a pariah in the international arena. It may be mentioned that Shahbaz is considered to be endowed with great administrative acumen and is known for his integrity.
The enmity between Nawaz and the army i think stems from the fact that Nawaz wanted to reduce the army's stranglehold on the economy because the monopoly created hindered growth. If you want to go after the Pak deep state, then challenging their livelihood is one sure way
