Afghanistan has a profound and close relationship with historical China. Afghanistan is the seat of the Kushan dynasty of the ancient Buddhist Jiantou and Yueshi people, and is inseparable from Pakistan, the real history of ancient India. During the Tang Wu Zetian era, Ghazni (Afghanistan's third largest city) set up all the supporting capitals.

The Afghan Plateau has the Wakhan Corridor connecting the Pamirs to the western line of the Chinese Silk Road. Following the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Afghanistan was once a vassal territory of the Central Plains Empire.

The historical origins of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran are even more profound.

Because the geographic and strategic position of the Afghan Plateau is so important, the former Soviet Union and the United States have invested heavily in trying to control it.

The collapse of the United States in Afghanistan means that the United States led NATO in the name of counter-terrorism in Central Asia since 9/11 after the Cold War, and the war that the United States led NATO to launch has completely failed. The intention to build a defense line on the Western Front has also failed, and all fronts have collapsed.

Once Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan form an alliance in the future, a new Central Asian system is about to emerge, and China and Russia will be mutually supportive and unprovoked, forming a strategic hub to stabilize the Eurasian islands. The United States and Europe will use the Central Asian plateau to choke the Eurasian continent. His dream was completely shattered. Author/He Xin
