Tajikistan as China’s Vassal State and its implications for the Subcontinent
China’s military presence in Tajikistan, alongside its major role in Tajikistan’s economy, poses a strategic challenge to India and the entire subcontinent. It is the right of democratic nations of the world like the US, UK, India and the United Nations to help such small and medium countries, engage with them, aiding them in their economic development and ensure that they are part of the democratic norms of the world and not fall into the trap of expansionist and authoritarian forces.
