Brian Berletic: US-backed Terrorist Kill 16 in Pakistan as Part of Years-Long Campaign to Target China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (part of China's BRI)

As the US pretended to engage in diplomacy with China, US-backed terrorists have been/still are attacking Chinese citizens, Chinese investments, and diplomatic missions around the world - including in Pakistan, Myanmar, and Afghanistan - all as part of an ADMITTED campaign to target and disrupt China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). 

This most recent attack reported on by FT admits: 

A bombing near a railway track in Quetta in south-western Pakistan killed at least 16 people and injured dozens more, according to state media.

The Balochistan Liberation Army, a separatist group, claimed “full responsibility” for the attack, which they said had targeted a train carrying security personnel, according to a statement from the group that was seen by the FT.

and that: 

The BLA has also targeted China-backed infrastructure and Chinese workers in the region, including the Gwadar Port, the flagship of the $62bn China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. CPEC is a centrepiece of Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s Belt and Road overseas infrastructure investment programme.

As far back as 2011, US policymakers discussed using BLA to target BRI projects in Pakistan - like in the National Interest piece titled, "Free Baluchistan" which says: 

Pakistan has given China a base at Gwadar in the heart of Baluch territory. So an independent Baluchistan would serve U.S. strategic interests...

Ever since, the US has backed armed militants across Eurasia to target and destroy Chinese projects, kill Chinese citizens, and even have attempted to assassinate Chinese diplomats in what is a US dirty war on China. 

Don't listen to what the US is saying, watch what it and its proxies are doing...
