To be honest I am kinda confused about Chinese strategy towards CPEC and their public narrative. Soon after attack Chinese spokesperson was telling Pakistan to ensure their citizens safety! It's like rubbing salt on the wounds. It's our citizens who are dieing, its our country good name whoes coming up in media for all the wrong reasons, its our law and order which is getting disturbed, all because we have decided to put our weight behind China. The level of support India get from America, financially, trade, access to western civilization, and more importantly, the way American deep state work with India to destabilised Pakistan, China is simply no where to be seen to establish that level of cooperation with Pakistan. We are expected to take all sort of hits while China can stay in background.
This attack should have been the last straw the broke the camel back. Yet Chinese response is hardly encouraging. Imagine if Pakistan was involved in hitting American consulate in Bombay! What would be American response.
If China wants to become a world power it should start behaving like one, standing firmly with its allies and taking its allies enemies as it's own.
