| [Daily Caller] China and Pakistan have plainly stated their plans for Afghanistan and South Asia. According to a press release from the November 12 conference held at Islamabad’s Pakistan-China Institute, "Pakistan-Afghanistan-China Trilateral Dialogue supports the CPEC [China-Pakistan Economic Corridor] as key to peace and regional cooperation." Pakistani news outlets emphasized the point, one stating, "Pakistan and China on Monday urged Afghanistan to join the Belt & Road Initiative as well as the CPEC." Is it a coincidence that such plain speaking occurs in parallel with an uptick in the frequency and intensity of Taliban attacks inside Afghanistan? Within a span of a few days, Jaghori ‐ long considered a safe district ‐ was being overrun by 1,000 Taliban, while other Taliban killed at least twelve Afghan soldiers and four tribal elders during an attack on a military base in Afghanistan’s northern Baghlan province. And bombs continue to explode in Kabul. |

| #2 Afghanistan is a never ending story. Though there was that intermission during the Mongol period. |
