Chinas got deals with everyone and its deals with Afghanistan is not even drop in the bucket. China far more worried about their investments in the gulf countries at the moment and will never back Afghanistan over pakistan.

Hydra bro,
But we shouldn't shut our doors to Tajiks, Hazaras etc who make majority of Afghanistan.
Well, there was a time when the Tajik dominated Northern Alliance ruled AFG. But then you called them Indian agent and tried to set up the Pushtoon/Taliban against them.

After namak haram taliban pashtun backstabbing, Pakistan is done with Afghanistan. Which is why such drastic measures have been taken like closing the border for all type of movement and deporting millions of afghan pashtuns.

A good topic to explore however framing needs to be more direct especially in the context of counter terrorism operations in Afghanistan, domestic terrorism and sometimes the unavoidable collateral.
It is not a question of Israel's conduct, but more about how to deal with a country with enough trust and respect to let them resolve their security challenges.
That means to stop being a safe haven for Pakistani domestic terrorists and work with interpol to return them. Stop weaponizing morality to politically interfere in Pakistan at the behest of Mossad and RAW.
Pakistan would never tolerate European domestic terrorists on their soil whatever the reason, we want reciprocity.
So the angle of the questioning is welcome however lets move away from using their relationship with Israel as a baseline. Lets be more direct.
Pakistan should now look to leverage Europe's Middle East energy supply security to compliance with our security requirements.

Taliban support fuels deadlier TTP attacks in Pakistan: UN
Baqir Sajjad SyedAugust 13, 2026
• Taliban chief reportedly warned outfit to halt attacks or risk losing support
• UN report points to training links involving TTP, BLA, Al Qaeda
• ISIL-K attacks decline in Afghanistan, but increase in Pakistan
ISLAMABAD: The Afghan Taliban’s continued support for the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has contributed to a rise in the frequency and lethality of terrorist attacks in Pakistan, even as Kabul has taken some initial steps to rein in the group, according to a UN Security Council-mandated monitoring report.
The report also points to growing operational and facilitation linkages among the TTP, Al Qaeda, Islamic State-Khorasan (ISIL-K) and the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA).
The 38th report of the UN Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team, covering the period from Dec 16, 2025, to June 9, 2026, said that “cross-border attacks between Pakistan and Afghanistan escalated, provoked by a high number of attacks by Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan against Pakistan”.
Like previous editions, the report was unequivocal in its assessment of Kabul’s role, saying that “the de facto authorities (Taliban) continued their support to the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which escalated attacks against Pakistan, provoking military exchanges”.
It noted concern among member states that the continuing conflict could create opportunities for terrorist groups and generate additional security challenges for the region

Taliban’s dual-track approach
The assessment nevertheless recorded some initial steps by the Taliban authorities to contain the TTP, although these appeared aimed more at managing the group than dismantling its infrastructure.
The report said Afghan authorities had relocated around 2,000 TTP fighters and their families from areas along the Pakistani border to deeper inside Afghanistan in an effort to rein in the group.
It also said Taliban leader Hibatullah Akhundzada had warned the TTP leadership through backchannel communications to halt attacks against Pakistan or risk losing Taliban support.
The developments point to what appears to be a dual-track Taliban approach, continuing to provide the TTP space and support because of shared ideological ties while moving some fighters away from the border to reduce attacks on Pakistan, avoid a major escalation with Islamabad and address growing international concerns.
For Pakistan, however, relocating fighters deeper inside Afghanistan would do little to address the underlying problem as long as the TTP’s command, training and logistical networks remain intact.
Meanwhile, the TTP has continued to expand its organisational structure and operational reach.

The report said that following its annual rahbari shura in December, the group announced a revised structure with two new divisions covering Balochistan and the central region, and Kashmir and Gilgit.
The restructuring also included a new division described by the group as the “TTP Air Force”, suggesting an effort to broaden its operational capabilities.
In March, the group announced in several languages its spring campaign, “Operation Khyber”, calling for increased attacks against Pakistani security forces and civilians.
One of its deadliest attacks during the reporting period came on Feb 16 in Bajaur, where a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device martyred 11 security personnel and a child and wounded others. The TTP claimed responsibility and was reportedly operating from Afghanistan, the report said.
Blurred lines
The UN assessment also points to increasingly blurred lines between terrorist groups operating in and from Afghanistan.
Al Qaeda’s official media outlet, As-Sahab Media Foundation, issued a statement on April 28 supporting the Taliban and, for the first time, backing the TTP in its operations against Pakistan.
The report said that while Al Qaeda had previously provided ideological guidance, training and support to the TTP, the latest statement represented more direct backing.

The UN report said ISIL-K was in a rebuilding phase, having shifted from attempts to hold territory to conducting fewer but high-profile, mass-casualty attacks, demonstrating resilience and adaptability.
Member states reported that the group possessed modern tactical equipment, including drones, night-vision devices and thermal imagers, and had received training in urban combat and the use of drones.
One member state also reported that ISIL-K and the BLA shared facilitation networks for logistics.
The report said ISIL-K attacks had declined in Afghanistan but increased in Pakistan.
On Feb 6, a suicide bomber detonated explosives during Friday prayers at the Khadija Tul Kubra Mosque of the Shia community in Islamabad, killing 32 people and injuring more than 150. The attack was claimed by a group calling itself ISIL in Pakistan but was likely conducted by ISIL-K, the report said.
The group also claimed responsibility for the May 5 assassination of Pakistani cleric Sheikh Muhammad Idrees in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The findings suggest that the threat facing Pakistan from Afghanistan is becoming more complex, with the TTP retaining Taliban ideological and logistical support, Al Qaeda providing training and ideological backing and ISIL-K and the BLA benefiting from overlapping facilitation networks.
