Pakistan is a hotbed of international terrorism: Chinese media
Pakistan is known for its poor security record, and has long been a hotbed of international terrorism.
An opinion piece in the Chinese media has called Pakistan a ‘hotbed for terrorism’ in the aftermath of SCO summit.
“Pakistan is known for its poor security record, and has long been a hotbed of international terrorism. This may pose a severe threat to China’s projects in the region,” said an article in the Global Times.
“As an increasing number of Chinese enterprises are going global, the likelihood that China falls victim to international terrorist forces is rising,” the piece said.
It added, “Beijing’s huge investments in Islamabad are coveted and thus may easily fall victim.”
It further said it is a tough task for Beijing to strike a balance between security and the need to go global.
