Calm down dude. Our plan always was to make sure Afghanistan joins our gang rather than India's. You need some history and geography lessons to know why we need to kick the elephant out of there.

I was just asking why does foreign countries meddle in Afghanistan and not let Afghans rule their own country.
Yes I agree that India is the biggest threat to South Asia.
China and Pakistan must unite to counter the hegemonic Indian ambitions in the region.

Taliban are Afghan Pukhtoon and the only armed resistence against foreign aggression as well as against Northern Alliance, aka ANSF.
US made sure that Pukhtoon majority is kept out of the power and military to create future conflict to justify its military presence. They did the same with Faluja's Sunnis after using them to fight Al Qaeda. These days, they are called ISIS.
Hold that thought.
What if Indian depth Northwards ends at Pakistan border and is never extended to C.Asia?

Indian hegemonic ambitions will be firmly in check.

These are exclusively US problem. None of China's business.
But US can show its good will by stopping harboring anti-China separatist terrorists.
Al Qaeda declares war on everyone. Nothing novel here. China has to better secure the border and keep a good check on terrorists and their sympathizers and supporters at home.
Yes. You got it.

It's seems like the WUC is more of a separatist movement than a terrorist organization. While I can understand Why China would want to crack down on separatism, I believe these guys are your real targets.

Kill them all. They got links to Al-Qaida or Xinjiang terrorism, PLA should just run them over.

A Roadmap for Sino-Indian Co-operation in Afghanistan
As NATO and Western powers begin to take a backseat in Afghanistan’s future, one of the most pressing questions is what role regional powers, particularly China and India, can play in helping the country to become a prosperous and stable nation.
Numerous efforts are already underway through multilateral and bilateral forums, yet the key to regional co-operation in securing Afghanistan’s future lies through closer interaction between Beijing and New Delhi.
This paper – which draws on a research project spanning a number of workshops in Beijing, New Delhi and Qatar, and involving influential thinkers and experts from China, India, the UK and Afghanistan .
Post-2014 Afghanistan will remain a major regional concern for at least the short to medium term. The earlier that China and India can develop workable collaborative undertakings, the sooner they can forge a stable and prosperous neighbourhood.

No. Read the highlights.
China pledges assistance to Afghanistan
BEIJING, Oct. 28 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday held talks with Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai, reaffirming China's support for peaceful reconstruction in the country and pledging further assistance.
"China will enhance its support for Afghanistan's peaceful reconstruction, help Afghanistan frame a plan on national economic and social development, train professionals and develop agriculture,hydroelectricity and infrastructure construction," Xi told Ghani.
China would like to bolster tangible progress on major projects like the Aynak copper mine and the Amu Darya basin oil project to help Afghanistan develop its economy and improve the lives of the Afghan people, he said.
The Aynak copper mine, 35 km south of Kabul, is one of the largest copper deposits in the world with estimated 11 million tonnes of the metal. The Amu Darya basin oil project in northern Afghanistan, may contain more than 80 million barrels of crude oil.
According to the joint statement on strategic and cooperative partnership issued after the talks, China will provide 500 million yuan (81.8 million U.S. dollars) in grant assistance to the Afghan government for 2014 and a further 1.5 billion yuan in the next three years (2015-2017).
China will train 3,000 Afghan professionals in various fields over the next five years, the statement said.
Ghani, who is paying his first foreign visit after taking office last month, said Afghanistan views China as a reliable strategic partner and admires China's stability and development. Afghanistan believes that China can help it speed up its development and is ready for a long-term strategic cooperative partnership with China on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, Ghani said.
Ghani was sworn in as the new president of Afghanistan on Sept. 29, replacing Hamid Karzai in the first-ever peaceful transition of power in the history of the country. He is paying the state visit from Tuesday to Friday at the invitation of Xi.
During his stay in Beijing, Ghani will attend the fourth ministerial meeting of the Heart of Asia Process, on Friday.
The Heart of Asia Process, launched in November 2011, aims to raise regional cooperation for security and development in Afghanistan and its near and extended neighbors. Ghani and Premier Li Keqiang are expected to address Friday's meeting.
China backs Afghanistan's push for national independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity as well as the "Afghan led, Afghan owned" peace and reconciliation process, said the Chinese president.
Xi said that peace and stability in Afghanistan are in the fundamental interests of the Afghan people, and represent the shared aspirations of the international community.
Xi proposed the two sides promote exchanges and cooperation between the governments, legislative bodies and political parties and step up communication on important issues.
Ghani expressed Afghanistan's willingness to cooperate with China in areas like oil, mining and infrastructure, adding that Afghanistan welcomes Chinese investment and will try to ensure the safety of Chinese institutions and personnel.
Afghanistan firmly supports China's fight against terrorism and will not allow the Afghan territory to be used for any activity targeted on China, said the visiting president.
Ghani welcomed China's initiative of the Silk Road economic belt, which is important for cooperation between the two as well as regional connectivity. Ghani pledged that Afghanistan, part of the ancient Silk Road, would work closely with China on the plan.
During the talks, the two sides agreed to strengthen coordination within international and regional institutions.
As next year marks the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Afghanistan, the two sides agreed to hold a series of commemorative activities, enhancing understanding and friendship between the two peoples.
I am aware of them. It is China to decide who is terrorist who is not. And with this, I have no further points to discuss with you.
