Why China will never enter Afghanistan is due to Pakistan and Turkey

[RIP Pak LAW]

why should China enter Afghanistan. They will have the access via is most trustable ally, Pakistan indirectly.

 

[crankthatskunk]

Geographically it is extremely difficult for China to influence Afghan. Wakhan is too difficult terrain. There is very little direct communication between Afghan and China in the past.

Wakhan is Pakistan's. It should claim it, by force if needed.
It was the buffer zone created by the Brits to keep them away from USSR.

Pakistan should correct that wrong and have direct border with the Central Asia.

China will never enter Afghanistan, because it's not that crazy.

Beijing official stance is to pay Talibunnies a king's ransom for them to leave China alone.

Better than that, China with Pakistani help has agree to recognize the Taliban government

China is not a policing super power like the USA, plus it has seen what happened to USSR and USA. Afghanistan will have to settle down before China shows any interest on the ground.

it just claimed the S china sea and every country's eez around it because of some thousand-year-old map...but not a policing power- yup

China will cooperate with Afghanistan's government to facilitate economic, and maybe security, exchanges, cooperation and developments. But it will never to the great extend that China does with Pakistan. Afghanistan might be a neighboring country to Chinay but not a friend to China like Pakistan.

In the end, a peaceful and progressively developing Afghanistan is in the interest of China and Pakistan.

I laugh every time some one says China is just waiting to get involved in Afghanistan, as if Afghanistan is some sort of an economic powerhouse with major economic opportuneties to the point where China is just eagerly waiting to get in there.
get real please China will not "get involved" in Afghanistan not because of any other country but because Afghanistan is a hell hole for the Afghans themselves in which there is a civil war between the govt and the Taliban, the only thing China can get from Afghanistan is may be buy some resources which they can do any way without sending an occupation force, and if the situation in Aghnaistan gets so bad that Afghanistan won't even be able to export raw materials then Afghanistan would be of zero use economicaly for China.

the Afghan govt and the Taliban need to reconcile for there to be any chance of an economic revival for Afghanistan.

Just from the stragetic point of view..

China has good relations with Pakistan and won't risk losing it over irrelevant Afghanistan because if China was to lose Pakistan India will be let out of the pakistani choke-hold and China sees Pakistan as useful element to contain India which has been successful and cut of India from the mainland Asia. Losing this would give China to many fronts and weaken their stragetic positioning and long term planning.

China won't risk clashing with Turkey and Pakistan in Afghanistan this could be a major war and costly without stragetic value for them and the only course is to avoid it. Turkey and Pakistan are already in Afghanistan and won't allow foreign elements in the country but only them to gain their interests hence why China backs Pakistan stance on Afghanistan in that way China gets the BRI without difficulty and all her interests but Pakistan's position is Afghanistan to reach politiical settlement is strong and won't tolerate any form of foreign entity in it's backyard anymore because it destablizes also Pakistan having a war waging in your neighbour and Pakistan has learned to not repeat this again which is their new red-lines and nobody will be able to cross that red-line. Turkey's main role here is to assist Pakistan and advance her economical interests and the same with China to advance their economical interests Pakistan will allow it

China and Pakistan have direct borders with Afghanistan, turkey neither has any direct border with Afghanistan, nor is located in the same region as Afghanistan. In other words, turkey has no business to be in Afghanistan, period.

Pakistan Government has already made it clear that they respect the wishes of the Afghan people and will engage and work with whomever Afghans choose to lead them.

China is the country that has invested a trillion dollars on infrastructure and development programs across the planet. What China is not, is one who invades other countries or uses it's intelligence agencies to kick off brutal regime changes or lie to the United Nations Security Council and the world about WMD and kill a million Iraqis in the process.

China does not send Army in any country, China does not make living fighting and inciting wars....unlike US

Even after USA troops has left, UK will still be remaining there.
UK has still not announced its withdrawal from Afghanistan.
