China works out its long-term goals early and works on them continuously. The author reflects his views on the need of similar relationship between India and Afghanistan, as between China and Afghanistan.
First instance of the Pak-Afghan relations was when Pakistan proposed a deal to Afghanistan to extract and market the Afghan mineral wealth worth around $1 trillion. But, due to some reasons the good-looking deal was cancelled. India and China need to talk about the overlapping of interests of nations including Pakistan and Afghanistan as well. The American scholar Dupree once noted that the Chinese supported the Afghan Mujahideen during the Afghan Jehad against the Soviet presence in Afghanistan. In this Afgan Jehad, all CIA, ISI, General Directorate of Saudi Arabia as well as Chinese were involved. In 1990's Afghanistan began to shelter and support the Central Asian Islamist groups and other groups like Uighur Group.
China turned to Pakistan for help in expelling Uighur militants from Afghanistan but to no results. China's relations with Pakistan, Pakistan's relation with Taliban and Taliban's support of Uighur groups complicate these relations too much. By the time this nexus of confusion breaks, China continues to try expel Uighur groups and alongside develop Xinjiang as an industrial base and trading point.
