China has totally humiliated during the Opium wars. This is part of their revenge. Of course , like reparations it's a bogus motive since all involved with the original sin are long dead.

China is a country run by a communist gangster elite with strong ties to the traditional Chinese criminal gangs known as triads. The humiliation of the Opium Wars is irrelevant as a justification for China’s current drug trade, which is simply too lucrative and strategically useful to forgo.

CHina and RUssia, who for so long have insisted the CIA was behind Bin Laden, happen to have been the biggest advocate of the TAlebans and urging talks with them (notwithstanding that Al Zwahiri spent some time with the SVR in CHechnya)
