Pakistan, China cannot justify oppression of Balochistan anymore: Report

Live Mint  

Pakistan and China are having a harder time defending the suppression of local dissent coming from the Baloch ethnic group in the Balochistan region, through which a significant portion of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor passes, according to Geo-politik. By building modern transportation networks, many energy projects, and special economic zones, CPEC aims to quickly update Pakistan's necessary infrastructure and boost its economy. The Baloch minority has limited access to the Central Cabinet Ministry and other critical positions as a result of the Punjab region's population controlling more than 60% of Pakistan's administrative resources. The Chinese-written research paper is fully aware of how the CPEC project has exacerbated local conditions given that Pakistan's government is currently primarily concerned with resource development while giving little consideration to the needs of the public.
