TREE NEWS update: China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun condemned a terrorist attack on a police camp in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on September 18 that caused heavy casualties. Guo expressed deep condolences to the victims and sympathy to the injured and victims’ families. He reaffirmed China’s firm support for Pakistan’s counterterrorism efforts and called on all countries to jointly address terrorist threats and safeguard global security and stability.
China Condemns Pakistan Police Camp Terror Attack, Reaffirms Support
The diplomatic language here is standard, but the timing and location matter: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa sits along the corridor where Chinese infrastructure and personnel are concentrated, so Beijing's public reaffirmation of counterterrorism support signals continuity rather than a shift. What is notable is the call for all countries to jointly address terrorist threats — a framing that positions counterterrorism as a multilateral issue rather than a bilateral one. Whether that translates into deeper security cooperation or remains declaratory is the open question.
