DUSHSANBE — Tajikistan says China plans to finance and build several outposts for Tajik border guards along the Tajik-Afghan border.
A Tajik government decree published on September 26 said the move would bolster Tajik security.
The decree said the government instructed the State National Security Committee to sign an agreement with China to provide for the construction of 11 outposts of various sizes, as well as a training center for border guards.
The 1,345-kilometer Tajik-Afghan border is a major concern for Dushanbe, as Afghan drug smugglers regularly clash with Tajik border guards and Afghan Taliban militants increase their activities along the border.
China, which according to official statistics sells goods worth $2.5 billion a year to Tajikistan, built one outpost on the Tajik-Afghan border, its first one, earlier this year.

Well, the Tang Dynasty used to rule Tajikistan before Muslims liberated it in 751 AD- please check the history book.
The Chinese were actually calling their western nomad tribal folks “Tajo”- which mistakenly was reintriduced by the Russian Czars to rename that Fars-speaking region as Tajikistan.
IT IS GOOFY !

THE CHINES HAS NO RIGHT TO post barriers between HISTORICALLY CONNECTED TAJIKISTSN AND AFGHANISTAN LIKE THAT- it is politically-motivated and financed by Anglo/US war criminals.
Actually, Nagro-Badakhshan was part of Afghanistan which was annexed by the czars after conquering Centr Asia- it was an Afghan route to China.
The wirld is getting connected and reconciled but the foreigners in this case creating barriers and isolations for their own convenience on expense of the locals.
There should be free trade across the borders between all of the neighbors of Afghanistan- it is good for all.
But; foreign, (invaders), thugs and thugmars won’t allow historically-connected neighbors help each other.
And the little controlled puppets are all singing their fake anthems to deceive the population of the whole region.
We need a united front !
