China enjoyed a hearty welcome today as the newest Global Imperialist with an attack on their embassy in Karachi Pakistan.

Three attackers were also killed in the assault on the consulate in the city's high-security red zone, according to a Pakistan foreign ministry spokesman.

The Baloch Liberation Army, a separatist group, claimed responsibility for the attack in a tweet including a photo of three unidentified men and the message: "Karachi: Fidayeen of BLA attacked the Chinese embassy in Karachi." "Fidayeen" is an Arabic term that loosely translates as "one who sacrifices himself."

In a statement released after the attack, the group said its objectives were "clear -- we will not tolerate any Chinese military expansionist endeavors on Baloch soil."

Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan condemned the attack, calling it "part of conspiracy against Pakistan and China's economic and strategic cooperation. However, such incidents will never be able to undermine the Pakistan-China relationship that is mightier than Himalaya and deeper than Arabian sea."

Ahsan Jamil, an equity portfolio manager at an investment firm whose office faces the Chinese consulate told CNN that the shots started around 9:15 local time (11.15 p.m. ET Thursday night) and lasted around 30 to 45 minutes.

Journalist, Amir Latif, from Turkey's Anadolu News Agency, said the consulate is in a very heavily guarded area, the firing is still continuing and we can hear small blasts, which suggests the attackers are still engaged with security forces."
