China is building a military base in Tajikistan
The Telegraph reported that China has been building a secret military base in an inaccessible mountainous region of Tajikistan for nearly ten years . The base, which is believed to repel threats from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, is said to be intended to host Chinese and Tajik troops.
According to information obtained by The Telegraph, China has been building a secret military base in a remote mountainous region of Tajikistan for nearly a decade.
Located at an altitude of about 4,000 meters, the facility is equipped with observation towers and is designed to host Chinese and Tajik military contingents. Officials of the two countries refrained from commenting and did not publicly confirm the existence of the base.
The construction of this base is seen by experts as an element of China's broader strategy to increase its military presence along its borders. Beijing is making similar moves in the Himalayas bordering India.
The new base is believed to be a response to potential security threats from Taliban - controlled Afghanistan. We remind you that the length of the Tajikistan-Afghanistan border is about 1300 kilometers.
China is actively supplying Tajikistan with modern weapons and military technology as part of its plans to create a "front line of defense".
