Chinese FM says economic sanctions on Afghanistan must end

[FOOLS_NIGHTMARE]

China's State Councillor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said the various unilateral sanctions or restrictions on Afghanistan should be lifted as soon as possible.

Economic sanctions on Afghanistan must end, the Chinese foreign ministry said in a statement, citing Wang at a virtual G20 foreign ministers' meeting on Afghanistan on Wednesday.

Afghanistan's foreign exchange reserves are national assets that should belong to the country's people and be used by its own people, and not be used as a bargaining chip to exert political pressure on Afghanistan, he said.

While most of the countries have adopted a wait-and-see approach to engagement with the Taliban, China has said it is ready to deepen “friendly and cooperative” relations with the Taliban following their takeover. It has also expressed willingness to maintain communication with the leaders of the new Taliban government in Afghanistan, calling its establishment a "necessary step" in reconstruction.


Last month, Hua Chunying, a spokesperson of the Chinese foreign ministry, had said, "The Taliban have repeatedly expressed their hope to develop good relations with China, and that they look forward to China's participation in the reconstruction and development of Afghanistan."

“We welcome this. China respects the right of the Afghan people to independently determine their own destiny and is willing to continue to develop ... friendly and cooperative relations with Afghanistan,” she had added.

That followed Taliban spokesperson Suhail Shaheen saying China had played a constructive role in promoting peace and reconciliation in Afghanistan and was welcome to contribute to the rebuilding of the country.

"China is a big country with a huge economy and capacity — I think they can play a very big role in the rebuilding, rehabilitation, reconstruction of Afghanistan," Shaheen had told CGTN television in an interview.

Moreover, a Taliban spokesperson was quoted by the media as saying that they wanted to have Afghanistan incorporated in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.

China, along with Pakistan, the US and Russia, is a member of the ‘Extended Troika’ that has been working for peace in Afghanistan.

China wants a route to Iran, Understandable. But recognizing the Taliban is a geopolitical 3rd rail most nations do not want to touch, let alone give them loans or aid. Afghanistan is a rentier state and the Talibs might be good guerrilla fighters, but incompetent rulers and will cause more instability, so at least there will be another civil war and maybe after that in more than 5-7 years it might get back on its feet. But until then, China is at an impasse in Afghan.

TL;DR: China will have to fund Afghanistan if they want a route to Iran.

Yes, China wants a route to Iran. Have you ever heard of CEPC?

I'm not knocking it, all I'm saying is that there will be more instability in the region which includes Pakistan and Balochistan. If you don't think that the BLA won't team up with other people who also hate Pak Army, like the TTP, You have your head in the sand. This will hinder CPEC.

I don't think the Chinese will trust Afghans more than Pakistan.
As for TTP and BLA, China can imitate the security law enforcement cooperation agreement of the four Mekong countries. China, Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan signed a security cooperation agreement to establish a four nation joint security and counter-terrorism force to cooperate in combating all illegal organizations in the region.
The four countries of the Mekong River jointly clear the Golden Triangle in two years. How many years can TTP and BLA last?

 

[SIPRA]

Great.....

 

[MH.Yang]

the TTP are Pakistanis joining the Taliban. a good section of Pakistani society is inclined towards terrorism. I doubt the pak army can keep control in the region, if China wants a stable afpak region it will have to use a lot of resources like America did.

wait why would you think its great, arent you pakistani?

Yes, China had a lot of similar experience when it was just founded.
These terrorist organizations are often armed by local elitist with property or rights and separatists.
They have some local people to help hide, and they can cross the border to avoid pursuit. So we need not only the troops jointly authorized by the four countries, but also the militia organizations divorced from the local economic base.
We can also offer local people a reward to hunt down terrorists, such as $100k each. Only $1 billion can be exchanged for 10k terrorists.

The British did something like that in India for Cobras, it turned out that people ended up breeding more cobras to get brit-bucks. They might just hunt down innocent people and say that they are terrorists. In any case, China will have to subsidize afganistan, and you might make more terrorists.

Lolz u ppl just dont have brains to understand. U ppl didnt believe taliban were good fightets either, now u accept after getting beaten. Now u say they r not good rulers. U ppl just imagine things out of ur *** and think of it as a fact. No wonder u ppl get embarrassed every now and then and yet dnt learn. Maybe its the indian genes lolz.
Also whats stopping china from reaching iran through Pakistan, where already billions have been spent on infrastructure.

Cobra doesn't have a gun, and cobra can't give a confession. The bounty is for those who provide information, not for those who kill terrorists. There are too many ways to distinguish the authenticity of terrorists, which is not a problem. And the main purpose of the reward is to destroy the trust between them and the local people.
Moreover, the main purpose of the four nation agreement is not to fight terrorism, but to build trust among these countries. Integrate the economy of the whole region, and then carry out resource allocation and industrial division.
China will face the problem of aging in the future. We can't bet all our chips on robots and automation. We need the young population of the surrounding countries.

China is taking interest in Afghanistan matters. very interesting! Are they preparing to make Afghanistan a hub to fight their own wars? nobody knows. It's strange.

Indian's geography, physics, chemistry, botany, zoology, engineering etc etc etc, in fact everthing, is subservient to their hate for Pakistan.
