The Battle Against CPEC
China is building the CPEC (China-Pakistan Economic Corridor) in Pakistan, which passes through Balochistan. The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) claims that this project is causing problems for the local people. This is why Baloch fighters are targeting the Pakistani army. They have even issued direct threats to Chinese President Xi Jinping. The BLA has also formed a special unit called the Majid Brigade to target Chinese citizens.
