Baloch Leader's Letter Warns India of Possible Chinese Troop Deployment in Balochistan

There is no independent confirmation of the claim and both China and Pakistan say CPEC is purely economic.

Overview

  • Mir Yar Baloch, in a January 1 open letter to External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, warned that China could deploy forces in Balochistan within months.
  • He argued that the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor is entering its final phases and could enable a direct Chinese military presence.
  • He said any deployment without the consent of the local population would endanger both Balochistan and India, and he urged support for Baloch defence groups.
  • The letter accused Pakistan of decades of repression in Balochistan and praised India’s Operation Sindoor as a firm response to terrorism.
  • Indian outlets report no official response so far from New Delhi, Beijing, or Islamabad, while India continues to oppose CPEC over sovereignty concerns.
