Washington: – China has stepped up its efforts to fill the void created by the US military withdrawal from Afghanistan. China took an important step to establish dominance in Afghanistan and thereby increase its influence in Central Asian countries. China is set to expand its private army, meaning mercenaries, in Central Asian countries.
The announcement was made by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who was on a tour of the Central Asian countries last week. The expansion of the Chinese private military in Central Asian countries will pose the biggest challenge to Russia’s security, a well-known US study group has claimed.
Special meetings were held last week in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan to discuss developments in Afghanistan. On this occasion, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi visited Turkmenistan along with Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. During the visit, the Chinese Foreign Minister announced the expansion of Private Military Companies (PMCs) in the Central Asian countries.
Over the past few years, China has set up PMCs in Central Asian countries to secure its ambitious Belt and Road Initiative-BRI project. Wang Yi announced the expansion of these companies to increase the number of Chinese private troops in Central Asian countries. The Chinese Foreign Minister said that this will protect the BRI project from terrorist attacks and will not impose a security burden on the countries concerned. At the same time, the private troops will train the military leadership of Central Asian countries, Wang Yi said.

The Communist Chinese Foreign Legion is out to make a name for themselves. They will be the ones who break the curse of Afghanistan, the graveyard of empires.
Yeah, right. Let them bust their horns on this one.
Let the Chinese have Afghanistan — and may they enjoy the Taliban.
What will be fun to see what happens when the Afghanis get a good dose of Chinese racism.
In China, there is no such thing as a “private army.” All military and paramilitary organizations answer, ultimately, to the CCP.
All external units are attached to the The People’s Armed Police (PAP) Counter Terrorism Units. Some units work with the Guoanbu - which also answers to the CCP.
Don’t be fooled by comparison to things familiar to the West - like Soldiers of Fortune. This is China, and its a totally different place than it was under Deng and his successors.
Communist Chinese Foreign Legion: No such entity exists.

Well, FWIW, DC doesn’t really give 2 shits about this. First, we were selling weapons to the Afghans to use on the Russians, then when THEY left, sales went down. Then, sales picked back up selling weapons for US to use ON the Afghans. Now that we’re pulling out, they’ll just swap back over to selling weapons to the Afghans to use on the Chinese. The names on the pieces may change, but the weapons sales continue unabated.
