[Epoch Times, August 25, 2021](Epoch Times reporter Xu Jian comprehensive report) When the CCP won the Afghan Taliban, it had a relationship with the neighboring country Pakistan (the CCP called itself “Pakistan Railway”, meaning the iron buddies). The relationship has been severely frustrated, and the people’s dissatisfaction and even resentment towards the CCP is spreading rapidly.
In July and August, two consecutive suicide bombings in Pakistan took the lives of many Chinese citizens. It is doubtful whether the so-called “China-Pakistan Economic Corridor” (CPEC), which the CCP has spent 62 billion dollars, will return. Can continue to operate, that is the core industry of Xi Jinping’s “One Belt, One Road” (BRI) project.
Mr. Gordon G. Chang, an expert on China issues, wrote an article in Newsweek on August 24, commenting on an article by the Communist Party media “Global Times” entitled “Terrorists and their supporters are all Chinese And the enemy of the whole world” is an editorial. Zhang Jiadun believes that the CCP not only has antagonisms with the United States and India, but also the relationship with its former iron buddy, Pakistan, is also breaking down.
Last Friday (August 20), a suicide bombing attack occurred in Gwadar, southwestern Pakistan. The perpetrators targeted a vehicle carrying Chinese citizens, killing two children and injuring three. The Baluchistan Liberation Army (BLA), a radical separatist group claimed responsibility for the attack.
Gwadar is located in Balochistan province in southwestern Pakistan. The oppressed Balochs have launched a long-term rebellion against the Pakistani government. The CCP is in trouble there and is almost unable to protect the safety of local Chinese workers and their families. The Port of Gwadar is a port built by China near the Arabian Sea. The locals staged several weeks of protests against Chinese illegal fishing in nearby waters. On July 14, the shuttle bus for the Dasu Hydropower Project in Cape Province, which was undertaken by a Chinese company, suffered an explosion on its way to the construction site, killing 9 Chinese workers.
“Recently, the security situation in Pakistan is very severe.” The Chinese Embassy in Islamabad said in a statement on Friday.
Zhang Jiadun said that the two attacks shocked Beijing. He quoted Andrew Small of the German Marshall Fund as saying that the CCP has been anxious about the security situation in Pakistan in the past few months. Investment and security.”
Kamran Bokhari of the Newlines Institute for Strategy and Policy told Newsweek that the downfall of the Afghan government has inspired the “confidence” of the Pakistani Taliban. The organization also wants to overthrow the Pakistani regime, so they are forcing Beijing Abandoning the CPEC project can weaken the Pakistani authorities and help them to overthrow the current government or seize control of the Afghan border area.
Pakistan attributed the July 14 suicide bombing to the Pakistani Taliban, but stated that the attackers “received the support of Indian and Afghan intelligence agencies.” India said it was “ridiculous”, but the Chinese Communist media agreed.
Last Saturday (21st), the “Global Times” also included the United States in that so-called editorial. It said, “Some US-Indian intelligence agencies that are keen to infiltrate Pakistan are hostile to the Belt and Road Initiative.”
According to Zhang Jiadun’s analysis, although the Chinese Communist Party’s official media themselves do not believe what they say, this does not mean that they will not adopt an open (hostile) stance against the United States and India. And Cleo Paskal of the Democracy Foundation told Newsweek that this is an opportunity for the CCP to attack India, “This is a preemptive method, that is, we are the victims. I can deal with you.”
Zhang Jiadun also said that apart from India, the CCP is also eager to move toward Taiwan, because the Global Times suggested in another editorial that the CCP might use the chaos in Kabul and Washington to invade Taiwan.
