China’s national security agencies would “adopt stricter measures and means to legally combat violent and terrorist activities, prevent foreign terrorist activities from extending into domestic territory and guard against the infiltration of extremist violent ideologies into the country,” the MSS said.
“In regions concentrated with overseas interests, efforts will be made to enhance early warning systems for terrorist attack risks, strengthen emergency response to sudden incidents, and effectively protect the safety of overseas citizens, organisations and projects.”
It said China would adopt a “multifaceted” approach to counterterrorism, and deepen international cooperation against terrorism, improve mechanisms for anti-terrorism intelligence sharing, financial regulation, law enforcement cooperation and judicial assistance.
The statement came three days after a deadly attack was launched against Chinese nationals in Karachi by the separatist group, Baloch Liberation Army (BLA).
The attack, involving a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device, claimed the lives of two Chinese nationals and injured several others near Jinnah International Airport on Sunday night.
