China will intervene if India tries to disrupt Baluchistan: Hu Shisheng

ISLAMABAD: Chinese think tanks and the influential scholars in the Beijing are convinced that China will certainly react against Indian ambitions of spoiling the Chinese CPEC project in Pakistan area of Baluchistan.

China will intervene if India disrupts the 46 billion dollars China-Pakistan Economic Corridor project in Balochistan.

This was stated by Hu Shisheng, Director of China Institute of Contemporary International Relations in an interview.

He said Indian Prime Minister’s statement about Balochistan has worried China and its thinkers.

Hu Shisheng said China fears India may use anti-government elements in Balochistan to sabotage CPEC, but Beijing will foil ever conspiracy against CPEC.

He also said India’s growing military ties with the United States and its changed attitude on the disputed South China Sea are ringing alarm bells for China.

China is obviously closely watching the rising US and India strategic ties in the region.

Recently India has conducted Naval exercises in the area with US Navy which are seen in China as part of US policy of containment of China in the region.

India and US have also signed a strategic agreement by virtue of which US will be able to have access to Indian Naval bases in the region and the vice versa.

China at the same time is also closely monitoring the Indian role in Afghanistan from where terrorism is being sponsored against Baluchistan and FATA of Pakistan.

However if the Indian tried to sabotage the CPEC project culminating in Gwadar, Baluchistan then China is bound to react against the nefarious designs of the enemy.
