After the killing of a Chinese man and woman in Balochistan by militants, Beijing is at cross-roads. The two, who landed in Pakistan with the aims of teaching Mandarin in Quetta, were actually Christian missionaries aiming to preach Christianity in a predominant Muslim country, according to a report published in the BBC.

The report claimed after the kidnapping and killing of the duo, there have been internal crackdowns on Christians in China. Islamic State announced on June 8 that Meng Lisi and Li Xinheng, who were in their mid-twenties, had been killed. The pair had been kidnapped in Quetta on May 24.
