Reportedly, this is another incident of looting a Chinese call center in Pakistan. The Chinese companies who came to Pakistan for investment faced the recent plunder. Notably, Chinese telecom and technology firms like Huawei and ZTE have invested in Pakistan’s telecom infrastructure.
Chinese investment in Pakistan is primarily driven by the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a major infrastructure and economic development project launched in 2015. It is a key part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
