Beijing fears, that after the departure of the US Army, instability in Afghanistan will spread to Xinjiang

Beijing fears, that after the departure of the US Army, instability in Afghanistan will spread to Xinjiang
After the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, China, together with the former Soviet republics of Central Asia, will have to strengthen the fight against extremist manifestations. This was one of the questions, raised at a meeting of Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi with colleagues from five Central Asian states (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan), which took place in the Chinese city of Xi'an.

It is reported by the Hong Kong newspaper South China Morning Post.

Despite the contradictions between the PRC and the United States, in China can not help but recognize, that the American contingent in Afghanistan was holding back the spread of radical Islam in Central Asia and China. Now Beijing fears, that after the departure of the US Army, instability in Afghanistan, which will inevitably increase, will spread to the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of the PRC with a predominantly Muslim population. This problem can become extremely acute, which forces Beijing to seek cooperation with neighbors in countering extremism.

China sees the rise of radicals in Central Asia not only as a threat to stability in Xinjiang, but also possible serious obstacles to the implementation of the large project "One Belt - One Road", which the, among other things, provides for the development of infrastructure in Central Asia.
