Nestled in Pakistan’s southwest and heavily invested by China, Balochistan is a land of contradictions—immensely rich in resources yet deeply impoverished.
The province holds vast reserves of copper, gold, coal, and natural gas, accounting for a significant portion of Pakistan’s mineral wealth.
However, its people remain among the most economically marginalized in the country, fueling decades of unrest and insurgency. With growing separatist movements and massive investments from China, Balochistan is fast emerging as a flashpoint that could redefine Asia’s geopolitical dynamics.
