According to a report prepared by Indian intelligence agencies, China has deployed its troops in the Sindh region of Pakistan. China has called the People Liberation Army (PLA)to protect the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor i.e. CPEC,

As per the report, China has also deployed its troops in the security of coal mines in Thar region in Sindh. Thar is located at Tharparkar district of Pakistan and it is just 90 kilometres away from Indo-Pak border. Chinese projects are going on in many areas of Sindh, which is facing resistance from locals. Fearing such protest, China has decided to deploy its troops for securing the CPEC.

''The Border Security Forces (BSF) deployed at the Indo-Pak border have also noticed the movements of Chinese troops close to the border. It seems that due to the opposition of Chinese projects by locals in Sindh and Balochistan regions, China has deployed its troops.''According to a senior intelligence officer, in order to protect the nearly three thousand kilometer long CPEC project, Pakistan has deployed a total of 17 thousand soldiers, of whom 4000 soldiers are from special forces of Pakistani Army, but despite all this, China does not have much faith in the Pakistani army and this is why China has decided to deploy PLA units.

Presence of Chinese soldiers near at Indo-Pak border increases the security concerns of India. Surprisingly, in the month of July last year, Pakistan's army chief had visited China and met with Premier Li Keqiang and other senior officials, in which China thanked the Pakistani Army for the security of CPEC. But despite this, China has sent its troops to Pakistan.
