Yup. One reason China is interested in Afghanistan. Land bridge and oil / natural gas pipeline through Afghanistan to / from Iran. Difficult terrain and of course poses significant security challenges and vulnerabilities.

If they can build (and secure) a pipeline through that bottleneck, they've earned it.
