The Chinese confidence in Pakistan바카라s security system바카라s ability to protect its citizens and projects is seriously shaken after the Karachi University attack last month, a senior lawmaker has said.
Three Chinese teachers were killed when an explosion triggered by a burqa-clad woman suicide bomber from the Baluchistan Liberation Army (BLA) ripped through a van of the Confucius Institute at the prestigious University of Karachi on April 26.
This was the latest targeted attack against Chinese citizens in Pakistan.
Sharing the mood of the Chinese side after the attack to Dawn newspaper on Friday, Senator Mushahid Hussain, who is also the chairman of the Senate Defence Committee, said: 바카라It has caused serious concern and understandable indignation in China."
Hussain led a Senate delegation to the Chinese embassy last week to express his condolences over the loss of the Chinese lives in the university attack.
바카라The Chinese confidence in Pakistan바카라s security system바카라s ability to protect their citizens and their projects is seriously shaken,바카라 said Hussain.
The Karachi University attack was the third terrorist attack on Chinese citizens on Pakistani soil in a year.
"The pattern of attacks is so recurring and it바카라s clear that Pakistani promises of 바카라foolproof security' are mere words, not matched by countermeasures on the ground,바카라 he maintained.
Criticising the security arrangements, he said security agencies seemed to have been caught napping.
바카라If such attacks continue, not just Chinese but other foreign investors will be forced to review their role in Pakistan,바카라 he said.
There were reports on social media of Chinese workers leaving Pakistan in large numbers after the attack.
A Chinese source denied such reports, adding that it was a regular movement of Chinese workers and citizens living in Pakistan on a weekly flight from Karachi that was presented by some as an 바카라exodus바카라.
The source, however, noted that terrorist attacks do impact the confidence of the Chinese community living here.
The Federal Investigation Agency바카라s (FIA) cybercrime wing said the tweet claiming that thousands of Chinese were leaving from the Karachi airport because of threats was a 바카라baseless and panic-creating video tweet바카라.
Head of FIA Cyber Crime Sindh Imran Riaz told the newspaper that action would be taken against the person who tweeted it once the ongoing investigations were complete.
At a media conference in Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Lijian Zhao expressed hope that 바카라the plot of terrorist forces to undermine the two countries바카라 mutual trust and cooperation will not succeed바카라.
He said the Chinese side would work with Pakistan to conduct a thorough investigation, reveal the truth, bring the perpetrators to justice, and explain to the people of both countries. (With PTI inputs)
