| Pakistan blamed for exporting terror to China | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Aug 2: Incidents of subversive violence in the Chinese province of Xinjiang, during the last one fortnight in which 38 people were killed, had forced Beijing to publicly blame Islamabad for facilitating "religious extremists" to get arms training and weapons in "Jehadi camps" being run in Pakistan.
During the last over two years religious extremists, trained in camps in Pakistan, had been indulging in various acts of subversive violence but Beijing has never publicly blamed Islamabad for it because China would treat Pakistan as an all weather ally. Now that the situation was assuming serious dimensions in the Chinese province of Xinjiang Beijing has called upon Islamabad to stop giving training to the Chinese religious extremists in camps in Pakistan.
The reported protest from Beijing seems to have unnerved Islamabad as President Asif Ali Zardari has conveyed to the Chinese rulers that his Government will ensure that separatists from Xinjiang were neither allowed to infiltrate into Pakistan nor allowed to receive any arms training in camps.
Since Islamabad has to bank on military and non-military aid from Beijing after Washington announced major cut in aid to Pakistan the Zardari led Government has assured China of its cooperation in fighting terrorists who have surfaced as members of the East Turkestan Islamaic Movement (ETIM) which is seeking independence for China's Muslim Uighur minority.
Beijing is worried over reports that ETIM has links with Al Qaeda camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan bordering Xinjiang. Reports do suggest that in case Islamabad failed to take any step which would prevent ETIM activists from receiving arms training in camps in Pakistan China may reduce the quantum of aid to Islamabad which could further escalate the level of economic depression in Pakistan.
These very reports said that China would not favour a policy of antagonising Islamabad but at the same time it would not tolerate any subversive violence gaining roots in any of its provinces.
According to these reports, Beijing may raise the issue with the ISI Chief, Lt. Gen. Shuja Pasha, who is in China. Pasha has to give a firm assurance to Beijing because the main purpose of his current visit was to seek further cooperation from China as far as military and non-military aid was concerned.
At least for the first time China has tasted the bitter fruit of terrorism. Hope this experience will help Beijing in stopping moral and material aid it was providing to the Maoists and Naxals operating in various states in India. It may also be in the interest of peace in the South Asian region if Beijing prevails upon Islamabad to stop exporting terror to India |
