ABSTRACT
Afghanistan is a
neighboring country to China. The Afghanistan issue has had an important impact
on China’s national security. Since the establishment of the new Afghan
government in 2001, China has been committed to promoting Afghanistan’s
economic, social, and security reconstruction, and has invested heavily
resources in Afghanistan’s reconstruction. The main cause of the Afghan problem
is that the Afghan government lacked enough resources and can only rely on the foreign
powers’ aids. Afghanistan eventually loses its independence, and triggers
interference in big powers. At present, Afghanistan still has not escaped this
predicament. Near 50% of the Afghan government’s revenue comes from foreign
aids. In 2013, the “Belt and Road Initiative” proposed by China provided
opportunity for the reconstruction of Afghanistan. Afghanistan, as the
crossroads of the land Silk Road and the heart of Asia, has become more
prominent in its geopolitical status for “Belt and Road
Initiative”. By participating “Belt and Road Initiative”,
Afghanistan can help to activate its own economic vitality and promote the
cross-border trade. It has changed the situation that Afghanistan is highly
dependent on external aids. This helps to solve the problems of reconstruction
in Afghanistan.
