2. The Afghan war has changed the balance of power in South Asia, making the situation in South Asia more turbulent, thus bringing some potential unstable factors to the security environment in western China.
3. The Afghan war has changed the geopolitical pattern of Central Asia and even the whole Eurasia, thus bringing greater pressure on the overall security environment of China.
The change of geopolitical pattern and the contrast of strategic forces caused by the Afghan war have had a profound impact on China's security environment. These effects have both advantages and disadvantages, and in the long run, their disadvantages may be more prominent. Faced with these changes, China must plan its foreign strategy as early as possible and strive for a reasonable strategic space for the nation.

The Afghan government's own problems have wasted huge investments from the West. Not only did it fail to lead Afghan society on the right track, but it also lost ground in the face of terrorist forces, and the territory it controlled was shrinking. The president is called the mayor of Kabul. On the contrary, the Taliban forces recovered from the initial attack, took control of most parts of Pakistan and moved to northern Pakistan, which has great potential to make a comeback.
Faced with this situation, the Afghan government proposed reconciliation with the Taliban a few years ago, but the United States did not agree, so the war was deadlocked. At the end of last year, after eight years of war, Obama decided to send more troops to the Taliban and launch a larger-scale military operation in order to break the deadlock and get out as soon as possible.
Before the international conference on Afghanistan was held, the United States later admitted that the Taliban was an integral part of Afghanistan's political structure and agreed that the Afghan government would persuade some armed men to lay down their weapons. However, the Taliban in Afghanistan have no intention of reconciliation.
Afghanistan is like a black hole. In the past 1 1 year, it not only swallowed the lives of nearly 2000 American soldiers, but also spent more than 1 trillion dollars. Mei Sen, a former US naval officer who once worked in Afghanistan, believes that the war in Afghanistan is a replica of the Vietnam War, and the US military has no chance of winning, so withdrawing troops as soon as possible is the best policy.
The Financial Times recently pointed out clearly: "The West has failed in Afghanistan."
