As Chinese premier Li Qiang landed in Pakistan for a four-day visit on Monday, the situation is far from routine diplomacy. Instead, it's one marred by escalating security concerns, particularly after the October 6 suicide bombing near Karachi's Jinnah international airport, which claimed the lives of two Chinese nationals and injured several others. The development comes amidst, a survey by the China Chamber of Commerce in Pakistan (CCCPK) stating that 83.4% of the surveyed Chinese companies in Pakistan believe the security situation in Pakistan is deteriorating, with no signs of improvement in the near term.
