Beijing Issues Security Alert for Citizens in Tajikistan

DID Press: Chinese embassy in Dushanbe has issued a security advisory urging all Chinese citizens to immediately leave areas along Tajikistan’s border with Afghanistan. The alert follows the recent killings of 5 Chinese nationals in the border region.

Official sources report an increase in targeted attacks against Chinese citizens in recent weeks. These incidents come amid the Taliban government’s push to expand economic cooperation with regional countries, with some analysts noting efforts to reduce Pakistan’s traditional economic role.

The embassy emphasized that the advisory is aimed at protecting the lives and safety of Chinese nationals in an unstable border environment.
