Three Chinese personnel from the Confucius Institute were killed in a suicide bombing targeting the Chinese in the country’s Karachi city on the same day, Pakistani media reported on 26. The Balochistan Liberation Army declared responsibility for the incident.
In response, Hu Xijin, former editor-in-chief of Global Times, said in an article late yesterday that the Balochistan Liberation Army is the number one culprit in the killing of Chinese people in Pakistan, which is unforgivable. In addition to condemning their atrocities, China must take more resolute actions to punish the terrorist forces whose hands are constantly stained with Chinese blood.
According to Hu Xijin, the terrorists attacked the Chinese in order to create a big shock and embarrass the Pakistani government. Several terrorist forces keep attacking the Chinese, and these actions are suspected to be increasingly supported by U.S. and Indian intelligence agencies.
Hu Xijin suggested that China should increase its support for Pakistan’s counter-terrorism efforts and that once the terrorists are identified, China could even launch direct airstrikes or missile attacks on terrorist camps with the consent of the Pakistani government to make it clear to the terrorists that attacks on Chinese targets will be met with bad karma, and that They need to understand that China has a belief since ancient times that “those who violate the Chinese will be punished even if they are far away.” If they insist on attacking the Chinese, their own heads will have to roll.
He also suggested that the Chinese government should strengthen the collection of evidence of foreign intelligence agencies supporting airstrikes against the Chinese, and if that evidence is solid, China should make it public and take firm retaliatory action.
Hu Xijin stressed that the Chinese cannot be allowed to bleed in vain in Pakistan and that China’s great power prestige will be seriously damaged if the pursuit of terrorists is not even possible in Pakistan.
