Yet at the same time an absurd narrative is being constructed against Pakistan claiming that it is supporting and using certain militant groups inside Afghanistan. One recurring allegation is that Pakistan’s intelligence service manipulates militant groups in Afghanistan while undermining Chinese interests. Local insurgents, transnational jihadist networks, and regional intelligence services operate in overlapping spaces. Take the claim that a weapons shipment crossed from Pakistan into Afghanistan to supply militants in the Wakhan Corridor. Islamabad has long advocated expanding regional connectivity linking China, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Central Asia.
