Foreign Policy: The Road to Kabul Runs Through Beijing and Tehran
Chinas long-term strategy is clear: It has become the largest investor in Afghanistan, developing highways to connect Iran and the giant Aynak copper mine south of Kabul. The Chinese have likewise financed the deep-water port at Gwadar on Pakistans Arabian Sea coast.
Russia, of course, is not. More from Democracy Arsenal, Duck of Minerva, Zenpundit, and of course tdaxp.
