Why doesn't China want the Wakhan Corridor?

The so-called "Wakhan Corridor" is a long and narrow east-west valley with Pamirs in the north and Hindu Kush in the south. The mountains on both sides are not conducive to traffic, and this corridor naturally becomes a link between eastern and western civilizations, so it is the only way through the ancient Silk Road. Master Xuanzang also went to India to learn from the scriptures.

The area around Pamirs, where the Wakhan Corridor is located, has been our territory since ancient times. However, the national strength of the Qing dynasty was weak, and the Qing court was unable to protect this area. However, ambitious Russia and old imperialist Britain took advantage of it to carve up the Pamirs.

At that time, Pakistan and Bangladesh had not yet split, and both belonged to the British-controlled colony of India, which was located in the south of Pamirs and Russia in the north.
