The Chinese Embassy in Pakistan has firmly rejected recent claims made by The Guardian regarding comments attributed to a Chinese diplomat, labeling them as “completely untrue.”

A spokesperson for the embassy criticized the article for lacking credibility and accused the author of fabricating information without consent for an interview, which they called a breach of professional ethics.

The embassy reiterated China’s steadfast commitment to the development of Gwadar and Balochistan, outlining several significant initiatives from the past year:

1. In March, China provided $100,000 in emergency cash assistance for disaster relief in
   Balochistan.
