In the past decades, the relations between China and Afghanistan have been adjusted based on Beijing's view of regional and international developments. The withdrawal of American and NATO forces from Afghanistan and the establishment of the Islamic Emirate government in this country caused a change in China's approach from different perspectives. America's withdrawal from Afghanistan led to a change in the balance of power in Afghanistan and as a result in its surrounding areas. China's view to Afghanistan always was based on security considerations, and now economic considerations are very important. China's big economic plan in Pakistan and Central Asia, on the one hand and China's security concerns about the connection between extremist groups in Afghanistan and the Uyghurs in the neighborhood of this country have been the most important issues of China's attention. Achieving power by the Islamic Emirate in Afghanistan and the withdrawal of American forces have changed the pattern of China's relations with Afghanistan from a calculated indifference to a strategic perspective. In the present research, we have discussed why China's attitude towards Afghanistan changed from calculated indifference to a strategic view.
