Private Maritime Militia of China:Pakistan

 Private Maritime Militia of China:

China maintains a unique entity known as the "private maritime militia" that operates alongside its regular military forces. The private maritime militia consists of civilian fishing vessels that have been organized and equipped to support China's maritime interests. This unconventional force plays a significant role in the disputed waters of the South China Sea, where tensions have arisen due to conflicting territorial claims. The private maritime militia assists the Chinese government in asserting its presence, conducting surveillance, and potentially engaging in low-level operations. It has been observed that these vessels are sometimes employed to intimidate other nations' fishing boats or maritime forces in the region.

Private Armies/Terror Groups in Pakistan:

 Here are some notable examples:

Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP): The TTP is a militant group that emerged in 2007. It primarily operates in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The TTP aims to establish its version of Islamic law in Pakistan and has carried out numerous attacks against the Pakistani government, military, and civilians.

Baloch Liberation Army (BLA): The BLA is a separatist group active in the Balochistan province. It seeks independence for Balochistan, claiming marginalization and exploitation of its resources by the Pakistani state. The BLA has conducted attacks against security forces and infrastructure in the region.

Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT): LeT is a militant organization with a history of conducting attacks in India-administered Kashmir. It has been accused of involvement in the 2008 Mumbai attacks. While LeT primarily focuses on the Kashmir conflict, its activities have had implications for security in Pakistan as well.

Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM): JeM is another militant group operating in the region, primarily targeting Indian forces in Kashmir. JeM gained international attention for its involvement in the 2019 Pulwama attack, which led to heightened tensions between India and Pakistan.
