United States Continues to Impose Sanctions on Suppliers to Pakistan’s Ballistic Missile Program
Press StatementMatthew Miller, Department Spokesperson
September 12, 2024
The Department of State is taking action against five entities and one individual that have been involved in the proliferation of ballistic missiles and controlled missile equipment and technology.
Specifically, the Department of State is designating the Beijing Research Institute of Automation for Machine Building Industry (RIAMB) pursuant to Executive Order 13382, which targets proliferators of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery. RIAMB has worked with Pakistan’s National Development Complex (NDC) –which the United States assesses is involved in the development and production of Pakistan’s long-range ballistic missiles – to procure equipment for testing of large diameter rocket motors, including the Shaheen-3 and Ababeel, but also potentially for larger systems.
Additionally, the United States is imposing sanctions under the missile sanctions laws (i.e., the Arms Export Control Act [AECA] and the Export Control Reform Act [ECRA]) on three PRC-based entities, one PRC individual, and a Pakistani entity for ballistic missile proliferation activities: PRC-based firms Hubei Huachangda Intelligent Equipment Company, Universal Enterprise Limited, and Xi’an Longde Technology Development Company Limited (aka Lontek); PRC individual Luo Dongmei (aka Steed Luo); and Pakistani-based entity Innovative Equipment. These sanctions are being imposed because these entities and individual knowingly transferred equipment and technology controlled under the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) Annex, in support of MTCR Category I missile programs, to a non-MTCR country.
As today’s actions demonstrate, the United States will continue to act against proliferation and associated procurement activities of concern, wherever they occur.

This happened in April 2024 when 3 billion usd gibs were given.
Now, pak is begging for 7 billion usd gibs from IMF on september 25 there is review for it and this new state dept report came. Intresting details on larger diameter solid motors too, looks like for slbms and icbms down the line which US wants to stop, because Pak nukes are only for India if they try to use it for blackmail on Europe or Israel, US will turn screws through IMF amd this is the trailer for it I feel. Even Pak establishment knows it and tries to assuage Israel fears but the local crazies like Imran Khan can chimp out and cause issues now and then, but military doesn't want to mess with Israel.

They are claiming 7 Chinese personnel dead:
interesting, 7 might be total casualties not just chinese or may be the injured were not yet declared dead if the 7 were chinese, we have to see.
Pak and China both suppress these kind of info, last time in Dasu dam attack Pak claimed it as bus accident, but chinese pressured them to accept it as militant attack and collected compensation from pak govt. iirc.
Even now ISPR tout accounts(jana shah aunty, eagle eyes, waleed osint) initially claimed it as tanker explosion
and then you have this adil raja saying isi did it to pin blame on pti

Exclusive: Beijing pushes to join security efforts for citizens in Pakistan, sources say

ISLAMABAD, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Beijing is pushing Pakistan to allow its own security staff to provide protection to thousands of Chinese citizens working in the South Asian nation, during talks after a car bombing in Karachi that was seen as a major security breach, sources said.
- Summary
- Beijing proposes operations by joint forces, military, says document
- China frustrated at string of attacks on its citizens

- Islamabad, Beijing in talks for joint security system
Last month's airport bombing in the southern port city that killed two Chinese engineers returning to work on a project after a holiday in Thailand was the latest in a string of attacks on Beijing's interests in Pakistan.
The attacks, and Islamabad's failure to deter them, have angered China, which has pushed Pakistan to begin formal negotiations for a joint security management system.
Reuters spoke to five Pakistani security and government sources with direct knowledge of the previously unreported negotiations and demands on condition of anonymity, as the talks are sensitive, and reviewed a written proposal sent by Beijing to Islamabad.
"They (Chinese) want to bring in their own security," said one official, who sat in on a recent meeting, adding that Pakistan had not so far agreed to such a step.
A written proposal sent to Islamabad by Beijing, and forwarded to Pakistani security agencies for review, mentioned a clause allowing the dispatching of security agencies and military forces into each others' territory to assist in counter-terrorism missions and conduct joint strikes.
The dispatching would be done after discussions, but Pakistani agencies were averse to the proposal, one official said.
Neither Beijing nor Islamabad confirmed the talks officially.
The source, and two other officials, said there was a consensus on setting up a joint security management system, and that Pakistan was amenable to Chinese officials sitting in on security meetings and co-ordination.
But there was no agreement on their participating in security arrangements on the ground.
The first official said Pakistan had asked China for help in improving its intelligence and surveillance capabilities instead of direct involvement.
A spokesman for China's foreign ministry told Reuters it was not familiar with talks on a joint security scheme, but added, "China will continue to strengthen co-operation with Pakistan and make joint efforts to do its utmost to maintain the security of Chinese personnel, projects and institutions."
Inter-Services Public Relations, the information wing of the Pakistan army, declined to comment. The interior and planning ministries did not respond to repeated requests for comment.
In a statement last week, Pakistan's interior ministry said both sides agreed to develop a joint strategy to prevent similar incidents in the future.
'GRAVE SECURITY BREACH'
The nature of the Karachi bombing has angered Beijing, which is now pushing harder to achieve a long standing demand to control security arrangements for its citizens.
A pick-up truck rigged with nearly 100 kg (220 lbs) of explosives waited unchecked for about 40 minutes near the outermost security cordon of the heavily guarded airport before its driver rammed it into a vehicle carrying Chinese engineers, officials said.
"It was a grave security breach," admitted one of the officials investigating the bombing, which came just a week before Chinese Premier Li Qiang's visit to Islamabad, the first such trip in a decade.
The official said investigators believe the attackers had "inside help" in securing details of the itinerary and route of the engineers, who had returned from a month off in Thailand.
They were to be escorted back to a power plant set up as part of plans for the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
Longtime Pakistan ally China has thousands of nationals working on projects grouped under the CPEC, a $65-billion investment in President Xi Jinping's Belt and Road Initiative, which seeks to expand China's global reach by road, rail and sea.
'CHINESE FRUSTRATIONS'
Publicly China has mostly backed Pakistan's arrangements, even as it calls for enhanced security.
Privately, Beijing has expressed frustration. At one recent meeting, the Chinese side provided evidence that Pakistan had failed to follow security protocols agreed on twice in recent months, three officials said.
Such protocols usually feature high standards for deployment and movement of Chinese officials.
Chinese nationals have been in the crosshairs of separatist militants who see Beijing as helping Pakistan exploit minerals in the underdeveloped southwestern province of Balochistan, where China has a strategic port and mining interests.
Thousands of Pakistani security officers from the army, police and a dedicated force called the Special Protection Unit are posted to guard Chinese nationals.
Only China's embassy in Islamabad and its consulates are allowed Chinese official security personnel, the Pakistani officials said.

I thought indian army generals were retarded corrupt fcks. But here it shows the poor geopolitical fck-ups that autocratic pakistani "gernails" have saddled pakistani awam with, are even more egregious. Thank god......pakistani gernails are a constant reminder of what India could've been like.
To think that at one time, indian planners were losing their sleep over pak army acquiring Abrams tanks, to now this.
The whole arjun saga was started with keeping in mind that abrams was to be inducted into PA. Now they have isolated pakistan internationally to such an extent that pakistan is now china's slave. That's their only option. Pak army is forced to induct crappy chinese tanks with QC issues in propulsion.

Pakistan's terrorism problem
In my latest blog post I analyze from open source data, losses from terrorism in Kashmir vs two of Pakistan's provinces - Baluchistan and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
This post weas necessitated by a lot of self flagellation and defensiveness I come across w.r.t. Kashmir - namely that the situation is out of control, governance failure, army failure etc. I have analyzed that in some detail in a previous blog post on Kashmir, including being critical of lapses in governance and concluded that the insurgency is under control and unsustainable for Pakistan.
To the best of my knowledge however, no one has done a simple comparison of data between Kashmir and militancy affected parts of Pak,
so I did it.
In summary, Pak is far worse. Not just in the numbers killed, but the effectiveness of the Pak army in controlling it (kill ratios). I also point out discrepancies in numbers from Pak. Even Karachi lost more people from terrorism than Kashmir.
It validates a post I made earlier that financial compulsions and the need to have a large portion of the Pak army on counter insurgency had led the Pak army to agree to a ceasefire on the LOC in Jan 21, at a time when the Indian army was under pressure from China in Ladakh and militant groups needed the Pak army to revive terrorism in Kashmir after the abrogation of article 370.
