The Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) splinter group, Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, threatened to attack Chinese investments in Pakistan in an article published in its official magazine on 14 November.
The article, purportedly written by the group's spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan, accused the Chinese government of persecuting Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang province.
The article comes days after China signed USD32 billion-worth of foreign direct investment projects in Pakistan on 8 November, including solar parks, hydro- and wind-power projects, and coal mining in Thar, Sindh.
Although China has an established strategic alliance with Pakistan that has normally entailed high-profile investment and large soft loans, this agreement was accompanied for the first time by an official Pakistani pledge to continue countering the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM), which is based in Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA).
