For many years, Pakistan has had a long and leaky border with Afghanistan. It has always been a refuge for Taliban leaders and their families, and a place where combatants often receive training and medical treatment.
Pakistan denied any military assistance to the Taliban in Afghanistan and stated that it promoted peace during the Doha negotiations, but many people believe that Pakistan’s main priority is to keep the Taliban on the side.

Russia
Russia has long criticized the US intervention in Afghanistan, and its astonishing failure caused obvious gloat in the Kremlin.
More than 30 years ago, the Soviet Union evacuated its last tank in Afghanistan to Uzbekistan through the Friendship Bridge. This week, the warlords allied with the United States and their fighters were forced to flee from the same bridge.
Vladimir Putin made counter-terrorism the cornerstone of his foreign policy, comparing it to the fight against Nazism. In Syria and Libya, Russia Calling them a bastion against the rise of radicalism and chaos justifies their support for authoritarian leaders.
However, in Afghanistan, the calculation method is different, and colder real politics is at play. Although the Taliban is named a terrorist organization, if Russia can ensure the safety of its diplomats and prevent militants from launching attacks on its Central Asian allies such as Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, Russia seems ready to participate.

Andrew Smallsmore of the German Marshall Foundation, an American think tank, said that in recent years, Beijing has begun to regard the continued presence of the United States in Afghanistan as the least of two evils.
“But from the meeting between the Taliban and the Chinese Foreign Minister last month, Wang Yi, Beijing seems to be fully prepared for this possibility-maybe even better than the United States itself,” he said.
On Monday, Chinese propaganda agencies took the opportunity to discredit US foreign policy, but Beijing has adopted a cautious approach to its policies towards the new Taliban regime.
This is because China sees the Afghan issue as a quagmire of great powers-from Britain to the Soviet Union, and now the United States.
Chinese official media call Afghanistan an “imperial cemetery”, and Beijing does not want to fall into the “great game” at the center of Eurasia.
China has also shown pragmatism in its practices. “What China can do is participate in post-war reconstruction, provide investment, and help the country’s future development,” Global Times A senior Chinese government expert was quoted on Sunday.
On Monday, Chinese spokesperson Hua Chunying said that Beijing welcomed the Taliban’s pledge to “not allow any forces to use Afghan territory to engage in activities that are unfavorable to China, and expressed the hope that China will participate more in peace and peace in Afghanistan”.
