Pakistan will pay $520,000 in compensation to each of the dead Chinese

The Pakistani government has announced that it will pay $520,000 in compensation for every Chinese killed in an attack in Pakistan.
The Voice of America reported on May 25 that the Pakistani government will pay more than $2 million in compensation to the families of Chinese workers killed in suicide bombings this year.
The Economic Coordination Council, Pakistan's top economic governing body, last week approved $2.88 million in compensation to families of foreign victims, an average of $516,000 (about 3.7 million yuan) per person.
Pakistan's Finance Minister Mohammad Aurangzeb headed the committee, and the committee also approved the payment of nearly $9,000 in compensation to the families of Pakistani citizens who lost their lives in the blast.
On March 26 this year, a suicide bomber rammed a car into a convoy of Chinese engineers and workers on a road to dam construction in northwestern Pakistan, killing five Chinese and one Pakistani driver. This is the third attack on Chinese-funded construction projects in Pakistan this year. Of the five Chinese who died, four were construction workers and one was an engineer. The suicide bombing took place on a mountain road in the mountainous area of Shangla County. It turns out that thousands of Chinese are working in local Chinese-funded projects.
The first two attacks targeted an air base and a strategic port city in Pakistan's southwestern Balochistan province, where China has invested billions of dollars in infrastructure projects in the region.
There have been previous attacks in the Dasu area, and in 2021, a bus carrying Chinese people was bombed, killing 13 people, including nine Chinese.
