Pakistan News Today: The number of Chinese citizens in Pakistan is more than 30 thousand and there is always a terrorist threat to everyone. Most of the Chinese citizens are working there in Xi Jinping’s ongoing ambitious project CPEC. Attacks on Chinese citizens working on this project have increased since 2015. The Baloch rebels have gone after them with such gusto that the Chinese government is sweating profusely. Pakistan, which took up the responsibility of security, is not able to ensure security to Chinese citizens. Therefore, now China itself wants to take the responsibility of their security. Pakistan was asked to deploy a unit of Chinese PLA for security, but if the report is to be believed, the Pakistan Army rejected it outright. Now, after Chinese pressure, Joint Security Companies Framework (Anti Terrorism Cooperation) has been signed between China and Pakistan. This means that Chinese security forces may be deployed in Pakistan.
If Pakistan had handed over the responsibility of security to the Chinese army, then Pakistan would have been embarrassed in the world and there would have been pressure at home too. In such a situation, a new way to escape has been found and that is to provide security through a Chinese private security company. According to the reports of intelligence agencies, China has hired 3 big security companies for this work, which include Beijing’s DeWe, Hua Xin and COSG China Overseas Security Group. The special thing is that these three companies have a direct relationship with the Chinese PLA. Because these have been established by retired PLA officers only. According to defense expert Brigadier Shardendu (retired), the people in these private security companies will be from the Chinese PLA and will indirectly enter Pakistan under which they will provide security to the people of their project there.
private security group PLA connection
DeWe Security Group, which was started in 2011 by retired soldiers of Chinese PLA, its work is to provide security on different projects of Belt Road Initiative i.e. BRI. Currently, it is providing security to Chinese projects in many countries including Nairobi, Sudan, Ethiopia. If there is China Overseas Security Group then Turkey, Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, Zambia, South It has opened its branches in Africa, Thailand, Cambodia, Argentina and Pakistan and is also providing full service to many projects. So Hua Xin Security Group, which is known for maritime security, it is believed that the responsibility of security of Gwadar can be given to this service. It was also established by a retired officer of Chinese PLA and currently it is providing security to Chinese projects in 40 countries. In all its projects under BRI, China has taken the route of Chinese private security by not sending PLA troops directly there. Defense expert Brigadier Shardendu (retired) believes that China is entering Pakistan in the same way as the East India Company entered India. First for trade, then he created his own army and captured India. PLA will gradually increase its numbers there and capture Pakistan.
China does not trust Pakistani security unit
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police had deployed a new CPEC Police Unit for the security of Chinese engineers and employees. Only people between 18 to 25 years of age were recruited in this unit created for the security of Chinese citizens. The Pakistani Army itself taught special skills like first aid, modern weapons, self-defense, advance firing and martial arts in the six-month training. Besides, additional troops of the army were also deployed to provide security to the Chinese engineers and employees working in the project. Commando units of Pakistani Army have been deployed at many sensitive sites and places. The police had prepared special units in every province of Pakistan through which CPEC passes. But all this failed completely and despite Pakistan’s unwillingness, China got the Joint Security Companies Framework signed and implemented the plan of deploying its army as private security.
