China is constructing a secret military base in Tajikistan, as revealed by satellite images. The base, which has been under construction for nearly a decade, is located in a remote, mountainous area at an elevation of 13,000 feet. It includes lookout towers and houses troops from both China and Tajikistan. The construction is seen as a response to the rising security threat posed by Taliban-ruled Afghanistan. Beijing aims to increase its military footprint in the region after investing heavily in the local economy. The Telegraph reports that none of the governments involved have officially acknowledged the base.
