What Pakistan suicide blast reveals about the Balochistan insurgency and China
- While three Chinese were killed in the attack, observers say Beijing and its belt and road projects in Pakistan are a collateral damage of Balochistan’s separatist bid
- Baloch have long demanded more control over their natural resources, and new multibillion-dollar projects such as the CPEC are deepening their resentment towards the Pakistan government
