Pakistan: dam projects suspended after the death of five Chinese in an attack. Chinese companies responsible for the construction site are asking authorities to strengthen security.
This is in fact not the first time that Chinese engineers and workers working on these two large hydroelectric dams have been victims of attacks or attacks. The temporary suspension of construction sites is a way of showing Islamabad that the effort aimed at protecting Chinese interests is not sufficient. Chinese diplomacy is walking on eggshells. At least 30,000 Pakistani security agents were deployed in 2019 on CPEC construction sites.
