— 🇦🇫/🇨🇳 NEW: Afghanistan will soon begin construction to complete a highway through the Wakhan Corridor that will connect the country with the Xinjiang Province of China

Should the road be completed, and integrated into the Afghan highway system, China will have direct trading routes to Iran and the rest of the Middle East that bypasses Pakistan and Central Asia, areas where there have been a high risk of sabotage to the One Belt One Road Initiative.
