Afghanistan's neighbours scramble to figure out how to deal with challenges as Taliban insurgents strengthen control over the war-torn country
Pakistan has a long history of working with the Taliban. The group’s political chief Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar remained in custody of Pakistan’s security forces for years before he was released upon Washington’s request three years ago.
Yet, Beijing has long feared Afghanistan could become a staging point for minority separatists in the sensitive border region of Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region. Maintaining stability after decades of war in its western neighbour will be Beijing's main consideration, as it seeks to secure its borders and strategic infrastructure investments in neighbouring Pakistan, home to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. For Beijing, a stable and cooperative administration in Kabul would pave the way for an expansion of its Belt and Road Initiative into Afghanistan and through the Central Asian republics, analysts say.
