Pakistan faced Taliban insurgent violence that largely began in 2008 during the rule of General Pervez Musharraf . The outlawed terrorist organisation Tehrik-i-Taliban has claimed responsibility for past attacks on some Chinese nationals , and Chinese commentators have raised concerns that the safety of construction workers could be under threat . China reportedly also expressed concern that militant groups in Xinjiang could collaborate with Tehrik-i-Taliban militants in Pakistan . In 2014 , Pakistan launched Operation Zarb-e-Azb to eradicate Tehrik-i-Taliban militants from Pakistani territory , following an attack on Karachi 's airport , and the 2014 Peshawar school massacre in which terrorists from Tehrik-i-Taliban killed 148 school children
