Munir Dressed Down In Beijing – Why China Publicly Humiliated Pakistan’s Field Marshal | World News
New Delhi: As Pakistan’s Field Marshal General Asim Munir, China’s descending to Beijing, the hot protocol and the back room may have waited for praise. What was waiting for him was a diplomatic cold front. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang did not underestimate words. Behind the closed doors, he conveyed China’s anger in a solid tone to misrepresent. Reason: The increasing impatience of Beijing in the protection of Chinese citizens working in high -betting infrastructure projects in Islamabad in Pakistan.
The message was blunt. China’s patience was weakened.
In spite of the promises of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s administration and the promises repeated by the assurances repeated from Pakistan’s military rice, attacks on Chinese engineers, workers and contractors continue to ring the strategic corridors of the economic corridor (CPEC) of the Chinese-Pakistan.
The overturning point came when Chinese intelligence marked the growing threats in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. These were not empty threats. They came from the Baloch Liberation Army (Blas), who had shot before and did not hesitate.
Beijing 2021 Dasu had lost nine engineers in the hydroelectric suicide bombing. Two years later, armed men attacked a convoy in Karachi. Pakistan officials apologized every time. Each time the Chinese officials wanted more than words.
The last rebuke was not a quiet note or a official protest. Personal, direct and at the highest levels, just in front of the field marshal.
Sources familiar with the meeting say that the Chinese Foreign Minister did not hide the disappointment. He reminded Munir that CPEC is not only a trade route, but a pole of China’s global ambitions. An investment of over $ 60 billion was in danger. “If you cannot guarantee security, how can we guarantee cooperation?” This was the uncommon line behind the strict diplomatic change.
Munir, according to officials informed on the subject Beijing, Pakistan’s army will increase patrols, the site will harden the security of the site and the critical infrastructure near the militant cells made sure that. He promised deeper Coordination of Anti -Terrorism. He promised the results.
However, these promises come at a time when Pakistan fought wars on many fronts. Breathing for economy relaxation. The Taliban fractions are freely circulating on the west border. The uprising in Balochistan continues to boil. Sources are thinly stretched. And despite a heavy militarized asset, the army seems to be unable to contain all threats at the same time.
China took notes. Wang Yi’s words were not about disappointment. They were a warning.
Behind the diplomatic tongue, a simple truth hangs in the air: Beijing is no longer willing to look in another direction.
