U.S. Strategy in Afghanistan-Pakistan: Chinese Views and Interests

Authors: Kerry Dumbaugh; CENTER FOR NAVAL ANALYSES ALEXANDRIA VA
Abstract:
On March 27, 2009, the United States unveiled a new strategy for Afghanistan which included the premise that the situation in Afghanistan/Pakistan was an international security challenge requiring a multinational response from principal stakeholders. Since then, U.S. military and interagency officials have probed China to see what Beijing would be willing to do to support that strategy and the U.S./NATO effort. The issues U.S. and NATO officials have discussed with China include providing targeted aid and reconstruction; opening the Afghan-China border to U.S./NATO forces for supply lines; and potentially providing troops in noncombat (or even combat) positions. This report addresses what the Chinese have done to support the strategy, what they may be persuaded to do, and what they appear unlikely to do.
