When the regime changed in Afghanistan, Chinese and American expatriates were treated differently, and the Taliban fulfilled its promise to China
The Afghan war is over and the governance of the country will be clarified in the near future, said Mohammad Naim, the official spokesman for the Taliban's political office, on Wednesday night.
Chinese and Russian expatriates are less affected by the dramatic changes in Afghanistan than western expatriates are.
At present, the Chinese Embassy in Afghanistan has issued a reminder to Chinese nationals in Afghanistan. The Situation in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, has suddenly changed. The Chinese Embassy in Afghanistan will keep in close contact with Chinese citizens there to inform them of the security situation. The basic safety of Chinese citizens can be guaranteed. After all, the Taliban have communicated with China and made promises to China.
As early as July 28, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Visiting Afghan Taliban political Committee Chief Mullah Baradar in Tianjin. The Taliban welcomed China's participation in the reconstruction of Afghanistan after the war, and promised to provide a safe and stable investment environment for Chinese investors, and the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens in Afghanistan could also be effectively guaranteed. Foreign Minister Wang Yi also said that China will respect Afghanistan's sovereignty and territorial integrity, will not interfere in Afghanistan's internal affairs, and is willing to help Afghanistan in post-war reconstruction, so China and Afghanistan are in agreement on some issues.
In contrast to the situation for Chinese expatriates in Afghanistan, American expatriates may not be so happy.
The situation in Afghanistan today is the work of the United States and its Western Allies. The Taliban clearly has little love for the United States, after all, the United States initiated the war and brought nearly two decades of chaos and instability to Afghanistan.
The United States and its Western Allies are scrambling to evacuate their nationals from Afghanistan and have sent more troops to protect them. According to US media reports on August 15, the US government's special assistant for Afghan reconciliation, Zalmay Khalilzad, has asked the Taliban not to enter Kabul until all American citizens are out of the city. The United States will take away its entire embassy team in three days' time. The United States is obviously not optimistic about the situation in Afghanistan, otherwise it would not have announced the closure of the embassy and brought back all the members of the embassy. The situation in Afghanistan has changed beyond repair.
According to the current information, the situation of Chinese, Russian and Western citizens led by the United States in Afghanistan is simply very different. China and Russia have issued statements so far saying that their nationals in Afghanistan are not in danger, and there is no news that The Chinese and Russian diplomatic missions have been evacuated.
Western countries issued a fiery joint statement warning the Taliban against attacks on their citizens in Afghanistan and sent troops to protect their expatriates out of the country, even inflicting casualties in the process.
Why did China and Russia stay in Afghanistan while Western diplomatic missions and expatriates were evacuated?
Russia's higher school of economics, according to the Russian satellite network, a senior lecturer, department of vladimir ilya zakharov, points out that during the delegation visit to Moscow and Beijing have reached some agreement, the taliban will not beyond its capacity, even if they don't will Russia and China as a friendly country, is at least a neutral country." It is reported that the Russian and Russian embassies in Kabul and their surroundings have been placed under taliban guard, which shows that Afghanistan has fulfilled its promise of "not hurting China".
The change of regime in Afghanistan will have a manageable impact on China's normal investment and business activities in Afghanistan. Because the Taliban will gradually fulfill their promises to China in the future, and they believe that with The help of China, the reconstruction of Afghanistan can be completed smoothly. China has enough money and strong enough infrastructure capacity to help Afghanistan get back on track. The Withdrawal of the United States did raise tensions for a short time, but it also gave afghans hope that they could truly take control of their country.
