Why would the Chinese go for a pipeline through Afghanistan, considering its hostility?

CPEC already provides them with an option to avoid the Malacca Strait through Gwadar port which would connect Xinjiang through Kashgar.

CPEC only has faced hostilities in the form of attacks on Chinese citizens. What would be the reason to go for a more hostile environment.

Modi, Shah, Doval, RSS do not think beyond winning the next panchayat election somewhere in the North East and selling the remaining family silver. Your strategic thinking would be treated as antinational behaviour of an Urban Naxal. Vishwaguru has the mythical past glory and the abasement suffered during Mughal rule to worry about. As for the future hegemony, let China have it because the USA is fading and India is preparing for UP elections.
