China seems to be moving in to fill the void left by America’s withdrawal of troops in Afghanistan. The U.S. military left its final base in the region on Friday.
An anonymous source reported Kabul authorities are now working with China toward a deal, which would invest in Afghanistan’s infrastructure. The deal, through China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), is a trillion dollar program that has provided funding for a variety of infrastructure projects.
Sources report the deal would also extend the $62 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, the flagship project of BRI that involves constructing infrastructure that reaches to Afghanistan. This comes as the former president of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai, said in an interview Saturday that China can play an important role in shaping Afghanistan’s future.

The Chinese will show the U.S. and Russia how its done! I suspect a flood of kidney and livers available for transplant soon!
I hope the ChicComs enjoy Afghanistan.
The road to the Indian ocean runs through Afghanistan.
Good luck, they’re gonna need it.
Wonder who wins the war???Taliban or China...I’m betting Taliban....
China and Afghanistan deserve each other.
ChiComs will enjoy any assistance to anyone anywhere they can to topple the US
Heel vs heel match.
China only wants to steal the Gold , Copper ,Lithium, Marble ,Uranium and the Rare-earth elements
They are big in Africa, soon big in Afghanistan, a presence in Venezuela and Panama.
Will they get over extended?
China will not be the US there. China will destroy anyone in their path.
I have a feeling the Chinese will go biblical on them. Collateral damage is a plus to them.
The Soviets were pretty ruthless back in the '80s. Didn't work then.
Unlike the US, the Chicoms will use whatever level of brutality is necessary. When fired upon, our troops couldn’t even return fire without permission. We created out own quagmire with a lack of resolve and squishy objectives for the war effort. I don’t think china will repeat our sad-sack effort.
Remember, we were arming the Taliban against the Russians. Many of those weapons killed our own. I guess we have done dumber things, but I don’t see us arming the Taliban or any other faction this time.
YEP!!
RUSSIA? Check!
USA? Check!
CHINA...YOU’RE UP! And the free world (such as it now is) wishes you nothing but the worst.
“China to move in on Afghanistan after U.S. troop removal”
I wonder how the Muslims will treat them knowing their treatment of the Uighurs?
The taliban might have second thoughts if the Chinese start feeding the dead taliban to the hogs.
