China shares significant borders with both Pakistan and Afghanistan—596 km with Pakistan across the Karakoram Mountains and 92 km with Afghanistan near Gilgit-Baltistan. These frontiers link directly to China’s Xinjiang region, which has previously faced unrest tied to separatist movements and militant threats, with Beijing attributing instability to Islamist extremists and Uyghur separatist groups advocating for an independent East Turkestan.
