Weed out root causes, save CPEC: China warns Pakistan after suicide bombing
China has come down heavily on its “Iron Brother” Pakistan over the security of the ambitious China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects and its citizens working in Pakistan.
The Tuesday suicide bombing of a van carrying Chinese teachers in Karachi, which left three Chinese nationals dead follows a string of attacks targeting Chinese employees working on CPEC projects in the restive but resource rich Balochistan Province.
China has been concerned about attacks which indicate that the militants’ strategy was evolving as the attackers appeared ready to adopt “fidayeen” tactics. However, with the deployment of a woman suicide bomber, the BLA attack on the university premises has added an altogether new dimension.
