According to a Weibo post from the Western Theater Command, on the 20th, the opening ceremony of the China Pakistan “Warrior 8” anti-terrorism joint exercise was held at the Pabi National Counter Terrorism Training Center in Pakistan.
Almost every year, China and Pakistan hold joint exercises irregularly, taking turns at sea, land, and in the air. Last year, we held a joint air force exercise near the Indian border.
The exercise is not targeted at any country or organization, please put away your glass heart in India.

Why was it chosen near the end of the year this year?
It’s because the situation is severe and urgent!
Not long ago, foreign media reported that China had requested in writing from Pakistan to send security forces into Pakistan to protect the safety of its own personnel.
China has not “bullied the small with the big”. When negotiating with the Palestinian side, China made demands in a very fair manner, that is, the two countries exchanged security forces to enter each other’s territory.
The Pakistani side expressed opposition, believing that China only needs to help them improve their intelligence monitoring capabilities, rather than directly intervening. In fact, they are concerned about the long-term deployment of the People’s Liberation Army.
But China’s attitude this time is very firm, presenting evidence at the meeting to prove that Pakistan has not seriously fulfilled the security agreements reached by the two countries multiple times in recent months.
And we don’t have any intention of ‘long-term deployment’. Do you still need us to work so hard to handle it yourself?
After repeated consultations, both sides reached an agreement and came up with the exercise plan. The Western Theater Command of the People’s Liberation Army immediately dispatched more than 300 troops, including the Chinese Joint Command, special operations, land and aviation elements, to Pakistan to carry out the anti-terrorism joint exercise codenamed “Warrior 8”.

The time is tentatively set for one month, and the live fire shooting location has been chosen in the area where the Baloch Liberation Army frequently operates!
Why is China so resolute and taking swift action?
It’s because there have been three consecutive terrorist attacks targeting Chinese engineers this year!
Looking at the timeline in reverse order:
On November 5, two Chinese were injured in a shooting incident in Karachi.
On the evening of October 6th, an explosion occurred at Karachi Airport, resulting in the unfortunate death of two Chinese engineers. The news report reconstructed the process of the incident: a pickup truck loaded with 100 kilograms of explosives waited on the outermost side of the heavily guarded airport for about 40 minutes before colliding with the vehicle carrying two Chinese engineers who had just left the airport.

It is obvious that this is a terrorist attack that has been deliberately targeted at the Chinese people for a long time. Some people speculate that the terrorists have been assisted by “insiders” and provided the itinerary and travel routes of Chinese engineers.
Otherwise, how do terrorists know to carry out precise attacks on the necessary routes outside the airport?
On March 26th, five Chinese construction workers were attacked by terrorists while on their way and all died.
Since the beginning of this year, there have been three consecutive terrorist attacks specifically targeting China, and seven Chinese personnel have been killed in the attacks. Terrorists are becoming increasingly arrogant!
Further terrorist attacks include the 2021 Gwadar bombing and the 2022 Confucius Institute bombing at the University of Karachi These events are like a thorn in the hearts of the people of China and Pakistan.

How will the China Pakistan Economic Corridor be constructed in the future?
How can we protect the safety of Chinese overseas citizens and assets with only the limited security forces of the Palestinian side, which is one of the five scumbags in the war?
There have been reports from foreign media that these terrorists recruit highly educated Pakistanis, often planning and launching suicide attacks, posing a very serious security threat to Chinese projects and personnel.
Relying on the few AK47s of the Pakistani military and police, we cannot prevent them at all. The security situation has reached an urgent point, and we must give terrorists a severe blow.
The task of this exercise is the “Joint Anti Terrorism Clearance and Strike Operation”, which is designed with multiple branches of troops and live fire exercises.

Here is a loophole: once the situation requires it, participating troops can quickly switch from exercise mode to actual combat mode and respond to sudden terrorist attacks at any time.
Not just our speculation, just like in the movie “Wolf Warrior 1”, during the exercise, we encountered a surprise attack by foreign mercenaries, and all officers and soldiers immediately switched to combat mode until we were eliminated.
The Chinese government has issued warnings multiple times, but terrorist organizations are fearless and do not take China’s warnings seriously. Pandas are very popular!
Although the Pakistani government firmly denies rumors of China sending troops to Pakistan to combat terrorism, the joint anti-terrorism military exercises between the two countries are reasonable and legal, and are held every year.
Who among you dares to oppose?

There are many projects under construction in the China Pakistan Economic Corridor. The roughly estimated value of the foreign media is more than US $65 billion, involving a series of infrastructure such as ports, power stations and roads. It is an important part of the “the Belt and Road” initiative.
In the past two years, the project has expanded to some new areas, crossing high-risk border zones, which requires the Pakistani government to increase more security forces and strengthen control over border areas.
This is not just a matter of huge investment, it is a witness to the strategic mutual trust between China and Pakistan, but also a grand hope for the economic development of Pakistan!
If terrorist attacks cannot be carried out, then the hope of Pakistan will be ruined by ‘rat droppings’.
The Pakistani government has also made efforts to establish a “Special Security Force (SSD)” specifically for CPEC and other Chinese funded projects, and set up checkpoints and patrols in the locations of each project, despite budget constraints.
Overall, the Pakistani military and police have made efforts, but it is still unsatisfactory. Every year, there are attacks specifically targeting personnel of Chinese funded projects, and there are painful experiences of casualties every year.

Some Chinese enterprises have also hired local private security companies, bodyguards, and armored vehicles, which can only be said to be slightly better.
These measures are all passive defenses, treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. The root cause lies in the soaring crime rate caused by the increasing unemployment rate and wealth gap.
For example, Karachi, the commercial center of Pakistan, has witnessed frequent robberies, kidnappings and extortions, and often deals with foreigners.
In addition, people like the Baloch people, although only 4% of Pakistan’s population, are very poor and rely on religious beliefs for their livelihood. They have established a separatist organization called the “Baloch Liberation Army”, which is actually a terrorist organization. They are very extreme in their actions and often incite their people to self destruct. They often engage in separatist activities and are easily bought off by foreign forces.
After the Karachi airport terrorist attack on October 6th, the Balochistan Liberation Army claimed that they were responsible.
Two years ago, during the attack on the engineer bus of a hydroelectric power plant, they also clamored specifically for Chinese projects in Pakistan, believing that these projects were “helping the Pakistani government to encroach on the land of the Baloch people
This logic sounds laughable, but it is too normal for these poor and extremely ignorant tribesmen who have no sense of national identity. If India and the United States sponsor and abet them, there will be no peace in the local area. The Pakistani government can’t eliminate these terrorists at all.
The dispatch of elite troops from the Western Theater Command of the People’s Liberation Army to conduct joint exercises this time is a highly deterrent action, while warning certain foreign forces not to be ungrateful.
This month, they will experience what “technology crushing” means. If they dare to act recklessly, it would be even better. They can immediately arrange for “precision strikes”.

Protecting overseas interests has never been an easy task for superpowers such as China and the United States, but do not underestimate our determination and ability to protect our own interests!
Especially when our overseas compatriots face threats for China’s great cause, it is time for us to demonstrate our strength and responsibility.
According to the report, the participating troops brought 24 types of weapons in 5 categories, and carried out multi-level and multi-disciplinary mixed training as planned.
We’ll wait and see what happens this month.
We only know one thing, pandas never go home empty handed.
