The stability of the neighboring countries is very important to us.Now on the Yunnan border, Indians, Bangladeshis, Burmese and Rohingya try to cross every day.In other times, this wouldn't be a big deal, but in a pandemic, the local impact would be huge.Although Yunnan has already built a 500 km long border wall (BTW, Trump must be envious).But that's not a very good solution.

So we have a strong incentive to maintain stability and peace in Afghanistan.And try to promote the development of neighboring countries.It would be better if they were willing to have deeper cooperation with China.Many problems can be solved.For example, if China were to dominate a trans-regional public health system, then Southeast Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, and Russia could emerge from COVID19 and form a giant security bubble.
