Now they want even the occasional Chinese tourist stop coming here. How would that affect Chinese investors coming here? Do these imbeciles want anything good to happen to Pakistan?

As if the insults were not enough. These terrorists have now started kidnapping the occasional tourist as well. Can no one in Pakistan control the situation? How much more insults we have to take?. The whole world is laughing at us.

That is what happens when tourists do not pay Taliban's extortion tax which the Pakistani businesses have to pay.
The ransom money is arrears collection exercise.
