China may deploy military forces in Pakistan’s Balochistan province in the coming months, a move that would pose a “serious and imminent threat” to both the region and India, Baloch representative Mir Yar Baloch has warned in an open letter addressed to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar.

In the letter dated January 1, 2026, Mir Yar Baloch, writing as a Baloch representative of the Republic of Balochistan, cautioned that Beijing could send troops if Balochistan’s “defence and freedom forces” continue to be ignored by the international community. He described the prospect of Chinese military deployment as an “unimaginable threat” to the future of both Bharat and Balochistan.
“Should the capabilities of Balochistan’s defence and freedom forces not be further bolstered and if they continue to be overlooked as per longstanding patterns, it is conceivable that China could deploy its military forces in Balochistan within a few months,” the letter stated.
“The presence of Chinese boots on Balochistani soil without the will of the 60 million Baloch people would pose an unimaginable threat and challenge to the futures of both Bharat and Balochistan,” it added.

The warning comes amid growing concern over China’s expanding strategic footprint in Pakistan, particularly in Balochistan, which hosts key infrastructure projects under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
CPEC Entering ‘Final Phases’, Situation Turning Dangerous
Raising alarm over the trajectory of CPEC, Mir Yar Baloch said the China-Pakistan strategic partnership had entered what he described as the final phases of the corridor project, significantly heightening security risks in the region.
He argued that the evolving situation posed “genuine and imminent” threats to both India and Balochistan and called for “tangible, reciprocal cooperation” between Bharat and the Baloch people to counter shared challenges.
Shared History and Cultural Links with India
In the letter, Mir Yar Baloch also underscored what he described as centuries-old historical and cultural ties between Bharat and Balochistan. He pointed to sacred sites such as the Hinglaj Mata Temple, also known as Nani Mandir, as enduring symbols of shared civilisational heritage.
According to him, these links form a natural foundation for deeper cooperation in the face of emerging geopolitical threats.
Praise for Operation Sindoor
The Baloch leader also lauded the Modi government’s actions under Operation Sindoor, stating that the operation targeted “terrorism hubs facilitated by Pakistan” and reflected “exemplary courage and a steadfast commitment to regional security and justice” following the Pahalgam terror attack.
Concluding the letter, Mir Yar Baloch expressed hope for stronger collaboration between what he described as “our two great nations,” stressing that coordinated efforts were essential to safeguard regional stability.
