China's Dangerous Plan to Capture Pakistan: MSS Intelligence Agency's Strategy

Is China’s Growing Influence in Pakistan a Threat to Its Future?

Pakistan has long seen China as its "all-weather" friend and ally, but reports are now emerging suggesting that China's presence in Pakistan might be growing in ways that could pose a significant threat to the country's future. According to former Pakistani military officer Adil Raja, China is quietly establishing an intelligence base in Pakistan, with the backing of local military leaders and politicians. This move, Raja claims, could be revealed during a visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping, during which an official announcement might be made.

Raja’s assertions paint a picture of China expanding its footprint in Pakistan, particularly in Karachi, where a major facility is reportedly set to be built in the Defence Housing Society area. This facility would include a fully operational command center run by China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS), along with a 1,000-bed hospital and advanced infrastructure for communication and intelligence operations.

What’s China’s Strategic Agenda in Pakistan?

The plan outlined by Raja suggests that China’s growing involvement is not just about economic investments. At its core, China seems focused on securing its interests in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and Gwadar Port. One of the most significant elements of this strategy involves recruiting retired Pakistani military officers to provide security for Chinese operations. This private security force would guard critical Chinese projects in the region.

In addition to controlling Gwadar, China is reportedly looking to upgrade Gwadar Airport into a major regional aviation hub, positioning the port as an alternative to Dubai for international shipping and refueling. Furthermore, plans are in place to construct an oil pipeline from Saudi Arabia to China, running through Pakistan. Despite the large-scale nature of these projects, Pakistan is not expected to see substantial compensation for its involvement.

China’s Growing Discontent with Pakistan’s Military Leadership

China's growing frustration with Pakistan’s military leadership has also been highlighted in reports. Beijing holds General Asim Munir, Pakistan’s Army Chief, partially responsible for the worsening of relations between the two nations. Chinese sources believe that certain elements of Pakistan's military leadership are hindering Chinese interests, particularly the smooth functioning of CPEC projects.

In retaliation, China’s intelligence agency has reportedly struck a secret deal with separatist groups in Balochistan, which has resulted in a temporary halt to attacks on Chinese nationals. However, attacks targeting Chinese personnel and assets continue in other regions, including Gilgit-Baltistan.

With all these developments unfolding, the question remains: Is China’s increasing influence in Pakistan a mutually beneficial partnership, or is it setting the stage for a more complicated and potentially harmful future for Pakistan? The coming months, particularly Xi Jinping’s visit, could shed more light on this growing relationship and its long-term implications.
