Recent attacks on Chinese nationals and interests in Pakistan, including at the Gwadar Port and a convoy in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, have raised concerns for the safety of Chinese workers. The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility for some attacks, citing grievances over land and resource exploitation. China has demanded a thorough investigation and increased security measures. The attacks pose a challenge for Pakistan s new government in reassuring Beijing of its commitment to protecting Chinese investments and citizens.
