U.S. Moves to Encircle China by 2027
WANA (Oct 29) – Analysts suggest that the United States is orchestrating a multi-dimensional strategy to contain China’s growing military power — a plan seemingly projected toward 2027. Washington appears to be positioning itself for a potential confrontation with Beijing, while simultaneously constructing a network of regional pressures and alliances around China’s borders.
A key pillar of this strategy involves renewed focus on Afghanistan. The U.S. is reportedly seeking a return to the Bagram Air Base to reestablish its operational foothold in the region. In this context, the mass deportation of Afghan refugees from Europe and Pakistan’s intensified military actions along its border with Afghanistan are being interpreted as indirect levers of pressure on the Taliban government.

At a broader level, the United States, together with India and Israel, is working to destabilize China’s western frontiers. This trilateral coordination aims to generate persistent insecurity across South and Central Asia, forming a belt of tension encircling China’s borders.
Meanwhile, on China’s eastern flank, a coalition of U.S. allies — including Australia, South Korea, Japan, and the Philippines — is consolidating its presence. This alliance is designed to enhance military and maritime pressure on Beijing in the Indo-Pacific and the South China Sea.
Taken together, these overlapping strategies indicate a deliberate effort to tighten the geopolitical ring around China. Beyond the immediate implications for Beijing, this evolving security landscape also poses new risks for Iran’s eastern borders, where the ripple effects of regional instability may soon become more tangible.
