Did you ever visited Xinjiang?
I bet you cannot, because your 30 years wages wouldn't be enough to travel to Xinjiang.
Their life & freedom are much better than yours
If you don't trust the evidences, then its your problem

China seeks Taliban's support to drive out Uyghur militants from Afghanistan
By PTI July 29, 2021 12:24 IST
China on Wednesday feted Taliban leader Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, praising the insurgent group as an "important military and political force" in Afghanistan and asked it to make a "clean break" with all terrorist groups, especially the East Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM) - the Uyghur Muslim militant group from Xinjiang.
Amid deepening concerns here over the regrouping of the ETIM, blamed by Beijing for all the violent attacks in its volatile Xinjiang province and elsewhere in the country, Foreign Minister Wang Yi met Mullah Baradar at Tianjin and sought to prevail on him to build a "positive image and establish a broad and inclusive political structure that suits Afghanistan's national realities".
Most importantly for Beijing, with reports of the ETIM militants who fought till recently in the Syrian war along with the Islamic State (IS) regrouping in Afghanistan, Wang's emphasis was that the Taliban which is rapidly advancing in Afghanistan ahead of the complete withdrawal of the US forces should not allow the Uygur militants in the war-torn country.
Mullah Baradar, who made the surprise visit to China, termed Beijing as a "trustworthy friend" and assured that his group will not permit any force to use Afghanistan's territory.
A recent UN report said hundreds of ETIM fighters have gathered in Afghanistan's Badakhshan province, which borders China's volatile Xinjiang province, along with militants of Al-Qaeda and the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) which has been waging an insurgency against Pakistan, especially in its lawless tribal areas.
"Wang pointed out that the Afghan Taliban is an important military and political force in Afghanistan and is expected to play an important role in the country's peace, reconciliation and reconstruction process, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said in his updated comments at the media briefing.
"We hope that the Afghan Taliban will put the interests of the country and nation first, hold high the banner of peace talks, set the goal of peace, build a positive image and pursue an inclusive policy, Wang said.
Wang stressed that "the ETIM is an international terrorist organisation designated by the UN Security Council that poses a direct threat to China's national security and territorial integrity".
"Combating it is a common responsibility for the international community. We hope the Afghan Taliban will make a clean break with all terrorist organisations including the ETIM and resolutely and effectively combat them to remove obstacles, play a positive role and create enabling conditions for security, stability, development and cooperation in the region, Wang said.
The ETIM may have been listed as terror group but the previous Trump administration has lifted the ban on it as the US stepped up allegation of genocide against Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang.
The US and the EU besides many other countries have accused China of committing a genocide against the Muslim Uygurs in Xinjiang and called for an international probe by human rights groups.
China is vehemently refuting allegations of interning millions of Uygurs in mass detention camps which were officially termed as re-education camps.
The China-Taliban rapprochement took place after last week's talks between Wang and Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi at Chengdu where both the countries decided to launch joint actions in Afghanistan.
"After in-depth communication, we decided to launch joint actions" which included making "every effort to pursue peace, give top priority to avoiding the spread of war, and prevent Afghanistan from spiralling into a full-scale civil war, Wang had said after the talks with Qureshi.
Earlier, Wang worked on trilateral diplomacy trying to iron out differences between the Afghan government, which has been accusing Pakistan of hosting the Taliban leaders on its soil, and Islamabad.
Appreciating the opportunity to visit China, Mullah Baradar told Wang that "China has always been a reliable friend of the Afghan people and commended China's just and positive role in Afghanistan's peace and reconciliation process, according to the press release quoted by Zhao.
"The Afghan Taliban will never allow any force to use the Afghan territory to engage in acts detrimental to China, Baradar said, without referring to the ETIM.
The Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post quoted a Taliban spokesman as saying that the meetings focused on the political, economic and security issues facing the two nations, as well as the peace process.
He said the group had assured China that Afghan territory would not be used to threaten the security of other nations, and that China had promised not to interfere in Afghanistan's affairs but to help build peace and solve problems.
However, observers say it may be an uphill task for the Taliban to drive out or hand over Uyghur militants to China as they were part of the IS and Al-Qaeda mix.
Andrew Small, a senior transatlantic fellow with the German Marshall Fund, told the Post recently that whatever benign language the Taliban use, China remains highly concerned about the security situation there. China previously hosted the Taliban in 2019.
Yan Wei, an international relations professor at Northwest University in China, said it was necessary for both the Taliban and China to engage each other.
"Regardless of whether the Taliban will become the government, it is a key force affecting the political development and security of Afghanistan, he told the Post.
"The Taliban can constrain some other terrorist organisations in Afghanistan. China can through the Taliban put certain constraints on other terrorist organisations, which is useful for China's security and regional security, he said.

America spend above 2 trillion dollars over two decades in Afghanistan and got nothing to show. No infrastructure, no institutions, on industry. China on the other hand, through CPEC/BRI can literally change the Afghan landscape with fraction of amount and time.
Its a no brainer for Afghanistan to look up to China for investments and infrastructure rebuilding for a) its a neighbour b) China is the manufacturing hub of the world, something any country would need if it wants to build/upgrade its infrastructure.

China has pledged support for the Taliban’s role in Afghanistan’s reconstruction, while demanding that it cuts ties with the East Turkestan Islamic Movement – blamed by Beijing for attacks in its Xinjiang region.
Foreign Minister Wang Yi made the remarks during talks with a nine-member delegation led by the Taliban’s chief negotiator and co-founder Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar in the northern city of Tianjin on Wednesday.
It was the first time a senior member of the organisation had visited China since the Taliban’s capture of several key districts in Badakhshan and Kandahar provinces. Taliban fighters have taken control of around half the country up to its border with the Chinese region of Xinjiang, and US air strikes continue to support Afghan security forces.
Wang said the withdrawal of US and Nato troops from Afghanistan represented a failure of US policies and called on the Taliban to push for a role in the peace process.

“The Taliban in Afghanistan is a pivotal military and political force in the country, and will play an important role in the process of peace, reconciliation and reconstruction there,” Wang said, according to a foreign ministry statement.
Wang said China would support Afghanistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, but he also demanded the Taliban cut off any connection with the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM).
“ETIM is an international terrorist organisation listed by the UN Security Council and poses a direct threat to China’s national security and territorial integrity,” Wang said.
“Fighting ETIM is the common responsibility of the international community and I hope the Afghanistan Taliban will cut ties with terror groups such as ETIM. The Afghanistan Taliban can contribute to an effective crackdown against those groups and play an active role in regional stability and development.”
Taliban spokesman Mohammad Naeem said the meetings focused on the political, economic and security issues facing the two nations, as well as the peace process.
He tweeted that the group had assured China that Afghan territory would not be used to threaten the security of other nations, and that China had promised not to interfere in Afghanistan’s affairs but to help build peace and solve problems.
The US stepped up air strikes in southern Afghanistan against the Taliban on Sunday, with General Frank McKenzie saying America was prepared to continue if the Taliban offensive did not stop.

The Taliban has called the air strikes a violation of the Doha agreement – the peace deal signed by Baradar with the US in February last year that paved the way for the withdrawal of American troops, due to be completed in late August, and the eventual intra-Afghan negotiations.
Afghanistan and China are also expected to be the focus of talks in New Delhi between US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Indian officials on Wednesday.
Beijing has been closely watching the progress of US troop withdrawals from Afghanistan and sought to play a bigger role in the country. At a meeting with his Afghan and Pakistani counterparts in June, Wang vowed to “bring the Taliban back into the political mainstream” and offered to host intra-Afghan peace talks.
“China’s position is that this should be resolved within Afghanistan. And the situation in Afghanistan should not threaten China’s security,” a source said, naming security in Xinjiang and Chinese investments in the region as some of Beijing’s top concerns.
Despite past support for Uygur militants in Xinjiang, the Taliban has said it will not interfere in China’s internal affairs.
China previously hosted the Taliban in 2019, when a nine-member delegation travelled to Beijing and met Deng Xijun, then special representative for Afghanistan.
Yan Wei, an international relations professor at Northwest University in China, said it was necessary for both the Taliban and China to engage each other. “Regardless of whether the Taliban will become the government, it is a key force affecting the political development and security of Afghanistan,” he said.
“The Taliban can constrain some other terrorist organisations in Afghanistan. China can through the Taliban put certain constraints on other terrorist organisations, which is useful for China’s security and regional security.”

After Cost more than $2 Trillion, and 20 years of War.
The Longest War for US, Ended with another Disastrous Defeat for american. And a Big Win for China
The New Afghan would be another China's Ally in Central Asia
Well done China, Taliban would be able to engage with the minority ethnic groups to reach a peaceful and stable agreement. A stable Afghanistan will bode well for all countries in the region and then we can concentrate on expanding the BRI and CPEC toward Iran, Central Asia and Russia.

Try not to tell people to go to XinJiang. Foreigners visiting XinJiang is still quite restricted. It is not like they can go around and take pictures to their heart's content.Instead of watching toxic BBC, CNN jews news inside your bedroom while helplessly searching for job.

For foreigners with special status only. Ordinary people don't have many restrictions.

The Taliban now has no reason to kill the Chinese. Although it cannot be said that the Taliban and China have the same views on all matters, China hopes that the Taliban can return to mainstream society.
These Indians try to play smart — they often purposefully neglect to differentiate between Taliban and TTP when it’s TTP and Baluch groups hiding in Afghan and Iran working through RAW to cause damage to CPAC.

Well, if China can modernize afganistan, it would be win for everyone.
Are you intentionally lying or obfuscating here? Likely the case, that's what bhartis do, even they full well know it was their own proxies that carried out the attack.
