China borders Afghanistan for 90 kilometers. Why not build a expressway?

China is the third largest land area in the world, bordering many neighboring countries, such as Russian, Mongolian, Pakistani, Indian, Lao and Afghan. Many people will choose to travel to neighboring countries, which is safe and convenient, but few people travel to Afghanistan. I think you can imagine some of the reasons. China borders Afghanistan, but there is no road from China to Afghanistan.

In fact, when it comes to Afghanistan, everyone thinks of the turbulent situation in Afghanistan. Afghanistan has suffered from war all the year round, and the people's lives are particularly difficult. It is seriously shrouded in war and seriously paralyzed in all aspects of economy and culture. So when traveling to Afghanistan, we can't guarantee our personal safety. So many people choose to go to Vietnam, Myanmar or india tourism to experience the local customs. Although a few brave tourists go to Afghanistan to learn about the local cultural development, they are very few after all. Before going there, they need to reach an agreement with relevant departments and take all safety precautions. Under the condition of ensuring personal safety, choose the right time to move forward when conditions permit.

Although Afghanistan and China share a common border of more than 90 kilometers, there is no corresponding infrastructure such as roads between China and Afghanistan. First of all, our government is concerned about the safety of people's lives and property in China's border areas, and does not want the war in Afghanistan to spread to our territory, causing serious losses. If roads are built, the security risks in border areas will increase. Even if we go to Afghanistan, we choose the air route, and we have to go through Pakistan first, so it is enough to show that our country attaches importance to our border security.

On the other hand, the reason is about the geographical environment. The border area between Afghanistan and China is barren, and it is found that it is not suitable for road construction at all. The natural environment here is very bad, and it takes a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to build roads, so it is very difficult to build roads.
