It is simple really.
Afghanistan need money for development and have natural resources for sale and China have money and wants to buy natural resources. So, they are natural trade/development partners. Who else is able to loan Afghanistan large sum of money for develoment? Not EU, USA, some Middle Eastern countries. Afghanistan have seen China helped African/Central-Asian countries develop and it make sense for their leadership to want some of the same too. Development will bring job and happiness to people.
Also, Afghanistan knows it need some counter balance against the overbearing control Nato countries have over it. China and Russia can provide that.
