Indian media hype China is security in Pakistan, Chinese experts: hype is not necessary

[Global Times Special Reporter Cheng Yijun] India's "Sunday Guardie" reported on the 2nd that China plans to deploy its own security personnel in Pakistan to protect their security in Pakistan and assets, and India is paying close attention to the development of the situation. The report quoted high -level sources in foreign countries that India was worried that once this matter came true, it would become a kind of "China in Pakistan Pass". To this end, India would formally protest to China and Pakistan, and also called the United States. It is also following the development. In addition to the Indian media, foreign media such as Reuters have also recently speculated that Pakistan allows a Chinese security company to conduct business in Pakistan, but the content of the report is based on rumors or anonymous information. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs recently responded to the relevant inquiry that I did not know about it, and Pakistan officials did not respond.

Affected by the multiple factors such as economy, politics and geography, the recent influence of Pakistan's social turmoil has intensified, and the security situation is unstable. In particular, terrorist forces such as "Pakistan Taliban" and "Baluchi Liberation Army" have more frequent activities in Pakistan, and they have repeatedly created terrorist attacks. Many of the attacks are obviously targeted at Chinese and Chinese companies in Pakistan.

In June, the Chinese Embassy in Pakistan issued safety warnings on Pakistan and Chinese -funded enterprises many times, requiring to strengthen residence and traffic prevention to avoid unnecessary going out. Pakistan has also said many times that all efforts will be made to strengthen the safety protection of the Chinese in Pakistan. On May 22, Pakistani Foreign Minister Biravar Boto Zardry met with Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Guangzhou and issued a joint statement in Guangzhou. The statement pointed out that Pakistan notified the Chinese side to ensure that all the efforts of all Chinese personnel, projects, and institutions in Pakistani. China appreciates Pakistan's promise to ensure the safety of Chinese personnel. In response to foreign media inquiries on June 28, China ’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs also said that China and Pakistan have always protected China’ s institutions and personnel in Pakistan to maintain close communication and coordination. The Pakistani government has formed special security forces to protect Chinese personnel participating in the China -Pakistan Economic Corridor and intergovernmental cooperation projects.

Wang Duanyong, an associate researcher at the School of International Relations and Public Affairs of Shanghai University of Foreign Languages, introduced that in the past 10 years, the number of Pakistani terrorist attacks and the number of victims have shown a trend of "fall first and then rising". The Pakistani government has continued to increase in counter -terrorism and strengthened its actions, and effectively crack down on the expansion and spread of terrorist activities in a certain period of time. However, as terrorist organizations are constantly upgrading in terms of contact and attack planning, existing counter -terrorism measures are becoming more and more difficult to meet the needs of counter -terrorism.

Wang Duanyan observed that the Pakistani government recently put forward increasingly strict requirements in terms of guaranteeing the safety of Pakistan and Chinese -funded enterprises, but there are many workers and less actual results. This reflects the helpless dilemma of Pakistan's counter -terrorism reality. Wang Duanyong said that in the context of the "Belt and Road" cooperation, it is a long -term job to promote the "going to the sea" by China Security Corporation and expanding overseas business. China Security Corporation does not seek special treatment overseas, focusing on improving its "internal skills" and better participation in the competition in the international security consulting service market. This competition has nothing to do with geopolitics, and the political hype of foreign media is unnecessary.
