suggests that even China-dependent

Pakistan’s reluctance to host Chinese PSCs suggests that even China-dependent countries are not proactive in welcoming Chinese paramilitaries on their soil, despite Islamabad’s strategic and overarching economic dependency on China and the building of the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) (see Guardians of the Belt and Road, February 23, July 14, 2023). Both Pakistan and Kazakhstan have high legal barriers to prevent Chinese PSCs from working on their territory. In effect, PRC efforts to place PSCs in those countries only contribute to the rise of Sinophobia in these regions, an outcome Beijing seeks to avoid. สล็อตเว็บตรง
