my amended take on the #Taleban's opening' of the #Wakhan road 'to' #China, with a special view on beijing's security policy approach to the #Pamir region, here:
thruttig.wordpress.com/2026/10/08/t...

interesting video on #Afghanistan's newly opened #Wakhan road, with footage of chinese border surveillance installations. the road – as #Pamir specialist markus hauser remarks on X – remains a dead end, though, without #China's participation in its construction and apparently in the opening ceremony

road connection between #Afghanistan and #China through the #Wakhan completed, by official opening of 121-km unpaved stretch between boroghil ( #Badakhshan) to zero point on the border.
