- China and Tajikistan share a 477km border and have an estimated $1.78 billion in bilateral
trade, which is significantly imbalanced in favor of China. - Recent years have seen a significant improvement in relations between China and Tajikistan,
with China constructing a military base in 2016 near Tajikistan’s border with Afghanistan
and a November 2022 bilateral agreement to increase security cooperation. - China’s security cooperation with Tajikistan does not appear to conflict or cause friction with
Tajikistan’s main security cooperation partner, Russia, but nevertheless advances Chinese
interests in the region at a time when Russian support is limited due to its invasion of Ukraine.
