A Chinese man, Wang Xian, is facing deportation from Pakistan following his arrest last year for attempting to carry lethal weapons in to China.
Xian was arrested in May 2016, convicted in an anti-terrorism court and sentenced to 10 years.
His sentence was later commuted to four years. Upon a subsequent appeal filed in the Peshawar High Court, his four-year sentence was further switched to deportation.
Secretary GB Bilal Memon, while speaking to DawnNews, said the Federal Investigation Agency is prepared to send Xian back to China on May 2.
Earlier in March, two Chinese nationals had been arrested in a case pertaining to stealing data from an automated teller machine (ATM).

Every second man has a gun on him in Pakistan and the law enforcement agencies do nothing, so what's the big deal if a Chinese man has a gun for his own safety in a country like Pakistan?

Pakistan needs to formulate a legal policy frame work with China for such incidents, plus CPEC activity, like road accidents, deaths by fracas, theft, criminal acts, drugs, smuggling, chinese trade free zone etc. This needs urgent attention.

"Xian was arrested in May 2016, convicted in an anti-terrorism court and sentenced to 10 years."
And we are hearing about it a year later?
Why wasn't he deported in 2016?
CPEC clouding our judgement??

Throwing out his four year sentence was not a good idea. It only encourages more weapons smugglers in China if there is no punishment.
