EP2 : China in the Crosshairs

The State Of Pakistan Has Been Ruling Balochistan, Its Largest Province, With An Iron Fist. Enforced Disappearances And Targeted Killings Of Baloch People Continue To Incite Violent Resistance. Is Balochistan The New Bangladesh In The Making?

Beijing continues to expand its investments in Balochistan through its China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) even as the International Monetary Fund raises concerns over Pakistan's debt sustainability. As Baloch resentment grows against the Chinese shunning locals, violent attacks against Chinese nationals have seen a spike. Is Balochistan turning into a Chinese colony within a colony?

Balochistan's fate is tied to Pakistan's politics and friendship with China. The Baloch lack the strength to break free but won't give up without a fight. Meanwhile, Islamabad doesn't want international reportage on the subject. It even tried to ban News9 Plus's docu-series.
