Abstract
China and Pakistan have promoted the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) to Afghanistan after the Taliban took over. China aims to help Afghanistan improve its security situation and expand the Belt and Road Initiative, while Pakistan hopes to expand its strategic depth in Afghanistan against India and to prevent the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan from extending its influence. However, Afghanistan faces multiple challenges in the CPEC, including the turbulent security situation and intervention from the United States, India and other countries.
