Famously flat, easy to traverse, easy to control, oil rich stretch of 1000 miles between the most sparsely populated regions of China and Iran which… oh wait actually has very little oil on it (about 10.5x less oil than China itself) and is somehow as far as possible from both Iran and Afghanistan’s oil producing regions.
