Washington: – China has stepped up its efforts to fill the void created by the US military withdrawal from Afghanistan. China took an important step to establish dominance in Afghanistan and thereby increase its influence in Central Asian countries. China is set to expand its private army, meaning mercenaries, in Central Asian countries.
The announcement was made by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who was on a tour of the Central Asian countries last week. The expansion of the Chinese private military in Central Asian countries will pose the biggest challenge to Russia’s security, a well-known US study group has claimed.
