Actually, this might work to benefit Afghanistan and China. Afghanistan could use the developments and China could gain a partner for its OBOR project and lessen the risks of extreme terrorism in Xinjiang.

Chinese are already eyeballing Afghanistan mineral resources. Why bother shipping them from Australia or Africa. When they have it next door for dirt cheap prices.

Afganistan has many rare earth metals, and yes Afghanistan has many mineral resources however it will take years to build infrastructure to extract this.

In the long run it is better if Taliban rule as they will be able to stabilise the country and have more realistic view of things now and will work with international partners better ie Iran , Russia and China.

You know what the Chinese say, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. You take the reward later.

mining and extraction industry is a very complex process to be done on a industrial scale.. not as simple as you think

Taliban is basically a Chinese vassal at this point.

 

[Globenim]

The obvious and most rational choice when the other "peace and freedom loving" countries come with bombs and death threats to your doors and after decades of glorifiyng their terror as "justice" take zero responsiblity.

But people making choices in their countries best interest, often fall victim to American terrorist attacks.

20 years and 2 trillion dollars later, Afghan became a Chinese vassal?
