Chinese citizens are frequently attacked by terrorist groups in Pakistan, claiming that they are targeting them as they disagree with China’s investment in Pakistan. A month ago, an improvised explosive device (IED) explosion on a bus full of Chinese engineers killed nine. China were furious and demanded the Pakistani government to find the attacker. Than three weeks ago, another attack targeted two Chinese engineers and a Chinese national, which were critically injured in city of Karachi.

China is a huge investor in Pakistan, and the city of Karachi is home to several major Chinese-funded projects, but several terror groups in Pakistan disagree with the Chinese investment and have repeatedly attacked several Chinese citizens and projects. The investments include the construction of the Mainline-1 (ML-1) railway from Karachi to Peshawar, Dasu hydropower dam project, construction of a new hospital, a new international airport, a vocational institute and solving the water and power shortages in Gwadar, all of which form part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) – a $65billion investment plan.

An investigation has been launched to determine who attacked and killed the Chinese nationals.
