Chinese military base in Tajikistan

 China creates another military base in Tajikistan. The approval has been granted by the Tajik parliament. The government of Tajikistan said that they need this military base to counter security threats from Afghanistan. This base will be located right on the border with Afghanistan. This base will be owned by the Tajik defense group, but it will be built with Chinese funding. The incentive of this military base is that it would carry out policing duties focused on combating organized crime. Also, the Tajik government has also offered full control of the pre-existing Chinese military base to Beijing. This base is located close to Pakistan. Tajikistan has offered absolute autonomy to China of this military base. Moreover, China will not have to pay rent for this base. What is the reason for this decision? In my opinion, to get more aid from China. China is trying to build its military base in Central Asia. Central Asia was always an important region for Russia. During the Soviet Union, countries such as Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and others in Central Asia were part of the Soviet Union. During the last decade, China is expanding its military, economic influence in this region. Also, China is the largest partner of all countries in Central Asia. Many students used to apply for universities in Moscow. However, this trend has changed in the last decade. China offers numerous opportunities for students from Central Asia. China is winning the game in Central Asia. Its gain might seem small. However, Chinese geographical influence in this region would be profound
