The Taliban indicated that it would work with the Peoples Republic of China and even called the communist country a "trustworthy friend."
Abdul Salam Hanafi, deputy director of the Taliban’s office in Doha, Qatar, said the terror group would "take effective measures" to protect Chinese institutions and personnel in Afghanistan and would allow China to continue its expansion of the Belt and Road Initiative.
"China has been a trustworthy friend of Afghanistan," Hanafi said in a Thursday phone call with Chinese assistant foreign minister Wu Jianghao, according to astatement by the Chinese Foreign Ministry. "The Afghan Taliban is willing to continue to promote friendly relations between Afghanistan and China and will never allow any force to use Afghan territory to threaten China’s interests."
And while Chinese foreign minister Wang Webin would not directly answer questions at a press conference Friday about whether China will recognize the Taliban as the legitimate government in Afghanistan, he did say that the situation on the ground is being followed closely by the Chinese government.
Webin also pointed out that China's embassy in Afghanistan plays an "important channel for China-Afghanistan exchanges" and is operating normally.
Through its partnership with the Taliban, China will be given access to Afghanistan’s natural resources such as copper and aluminum......snip~
