Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi during a telephone call with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in late August reportedly suggested that the global community should provide the Taliban with guidance so that Afghanistan's new political system can support government operations and services.

China expressed fear that the absence of security forces might lead to anti-Beijing elements regrouping in the region. China believes that the withdrawal of the US forces in Afghanistan could allow the regrouping of Uyghur separatist groups based in Xinjiang and facilitate their operations from Afghanistan.

Further, The East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM), declared an international terrorist group by the United Nations Security Council, is believed to pose a direct threat to China's national security and territorial integrity.
