Pakistan's weakest zone lies exposed: TTP fighters capture several parts of China's CPEC corridor, Asim Munir now forced to...
Islamabad: In a matter of bad news for China and the China-Pakistan Economic corridor, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which has been a massive point of security concern for the Pakistan government led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, has intensified attacks on the Pakistani army in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan. Shifting its focus to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the fresh attacks of TTP has raised fresh concerns for China, which has been trying to solidify its presence in the region. Here are all the details you need to know about the recent attacks by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan and why it is a matter of bad news for China. Why Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir is under pressure?
In a point of huge security risk for Pakistan, the increasing attacks of TTP on the Chinese investments in Pakistan have created double trouble for the government and army of Pakistan because, and as a result of the attacks, the Pakistani Army led by Asim Munir has been forced to divert the military from the border areas to the CPEC region, causing a major security concern for the country. How TTP is giving nightmares to China?
In a point of concern for China's Xi Jinping government, media reports suggest that TTP has captured parts of the CPEC corridor in tribal areas, highlighting its expanding influence near the Afghanistan border. Because of the highly significant projects of the Chinese governments in the region, the increasing attacks of TTP can't be ignored. Therefore, we can say that the rise of TTP power, combined with strained Pakistan-Afghanistan relations, has further limited Islamabad's options for a strong military response.
