Yet, however focused it is on soft-power projection in Afghanistan, China will likely find it difficult not to be drawn into the role of policeman in an extremely complex and historically conflict-ridden region.

但是，不管中国如何集中精力于在阿富汗战事软实力，都可能发现难以在这个极端复杂且充满着历史冲突的地区充当警察角色。此外，中国的地区动作会与该地区的其他大国（比如俄罗斯和印度）发生冲突。其自身盟友巴基斯坦也并不急于清除威胁邻国（中国也是其中之一）安全的恐怖主义集团。
