Five Chinese citizens were killed in a suicide bombing attack in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan along with their Pakistani driver on Tuesday.
The regional police chief Mohamad Ali Gandapur told the media that a suicide bomber forced an explosives-laden vehicle into a convoy of Chinese engineers that was on its way from Islamabad to their camp in Dasu, the largest hydropower project in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in Pakistan, where they worked.
Now, days after declaring its purpose to find the perpetrators and bring them to justice, China has declared that they will fight terrorism together with Pakistan, in a statement that reads like a sad joke to anyone who has followed geopolitics in the region.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs declared, ‘Terrorism is humanity’s common enemy. The global community has a shared responsibility to fight terrorism and stop such tragedies from happening again. China and Pakistan are determined and ready to make the terrorists pay for their horrific acts’.

Just this week, External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar said in Singapore stated that Pakistan uses terrorism as an instrument of statecraft.
Jaishankar highlighted, not for the first time, how Pakistan runs terrorism at an industry level. Dr Jaishankar’s remarks are not something out of the blue. The whole world has known for decades that Pakistan is a hub for state-sponsored terrorism.
It sustains and enables globally designated terrorists and brazens it out before the world, year after year.
Terrorist attacks in Pakistan are not due to some external threat, they are the symptoms of a vicious pet going rogue and eating its own master.
