China says two citizens killed, one injured in Pakistan ‘terrorist attack’
In August, the BLA launched coordinated attacks in the province, in which more than 70 people were killed. It has claimed attacks in Balochistan, including the killing of seven barbers in Gwadar in May and the April killings of several people abducted from a highway.
The BLA specifically targets Chinese interests – in particular the strategic port of Gwadar on the Arabian Sea – accusing Beijing of helping Islamabad to exploit the province.
In March this year, five Chinese engineers and a Pakistani national were killed in an attack near the China-backed Dasu hydropower project. Nine Chinese engineers were killed in a similar attack near Dasu in 2021.
The BLA has also attacked Beijing’s consulate in Karachi.
The Port Qasim project involves the construction of two power plants near Karachi and is funded by China.

As the United States steps up its campaign to provoke China into war, the Philippines has lined up behind Washington, increasingly transforming the country into a lead attack dog in the region for American imperialism. Seeking to obscure the fact that the country has now been placed on the front lines of a catastrophic conflict, the Philippine ruling elite is demonizing China and people of Chinese ethnicity with absurd and lurid claims that Beijing is infiltrating spies into the country.

Sun Yat-sen’s Connection To China And The U.S.
Sun Yat-sen’s image became frozen in time. This man, who was deeply inspired by American ideas, came to be known as the pioneer of the revolution in the People’s Republic of China.
Part Of The Great Wall Of China Is Right Here In Wisconsin At Clintonville’s Pioneer Park
Chinese Leader Sun Yat Sen allowed this portion of wall to be taken to Clintonville; and it’s the only section of the wall that’s known to have left the country.
I could have probably picked a better article, about Sun Yat-sen’s time in the US, but I’m on my phone (too small for deep research). I received the article about the part of the Great Wall of China, in my email, and it reminded me of Comrade Confucius’ video.
