CHINA-PAKISTAN: 2000 CHINESE LEAVE PAKISTAN FROM KARACHI FOLLOWING KILLING OF THREE CHINESE NATIONALS IN TERRORIST ATTACK ON APRIL 26
|
After the 31-year old teacher and mother of two, Shari Baloch, blew herself up in front of a
van carrying Chinese teachers near the Confucius Institute in the southern seaport city of
Karachi on April 26, killing at least three Chinese nationals along with their Pakistani driver,
China asked Pakistan to step up security but many Chinese began leaving Pakistan. Tweets by
Pakistanis were quoted by ANI on April 30 as saying that almost 2000 Chinese are leaving
Pakistan from Karachi after 3 Chinese nationals and one Pakistani citizen were killed in a
suicide attack by a Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) at Karachi University on April 26. A video
is going viral on social media showing a large number of Chinese in PPE kits leaving from
Karachi Airport. The Tweets express concern that this could slow down the CPEC projects.
