Wakhan Corridor, China-Afghanistan border security, "East Turkistan".

Since the 1990s, "three evil forces" represented by "East Turkistan" violations have made a large number of terrorist crimes in Xinjiang and Afghanistan, leading to a deterioration of the security situation in both countries. In Wakhan Corridor and its surrounding areas, the "East Turkistan" engaged in split activities and inputted weapons through the Corridor. America's "double standard" on counter-terrorism has led to instability in Afghanistan and Xinjiang. To maintain the safety of the China-Afghanistan border, it is needed to crack down on the "East Turkistan" with military struggle and diplomatic mediation. In the meantime, more attentions should be devoted to economic development and drugs control in this area, and building a community of shared future between China and Central Asian countries, to maintain regional harmony and border peace.
