Yeah I’ve learned a little about China making loans they know will default, which then give them ownership of ports or whatever as a remedy. I think they might be a little over optimistic that these contracts will ever mean anything though. Especially in a place like Afghanistan.
Heroin/opium?
Isn’t like the one good thing the Taliban does is banning the drug manufacturing.
Lithium and rare earth metals.
I’m sure this will end well for all parties involved.
Only superpower left who hasn’t tried to invade them at some point in time.
They will when the Taliban defaults on their debt to them. Then they discover why you don’t invade Afghanistan.
You get bogged down in tribal wars and spend 20 years worth of time and treasure.
Everyone does it eventually
You could say it’s a trail by fire of a superpower.
China knows they will default. This is about control.
China has invaded Afghanistan multiple times since the Han Dynasty in the BCs.
Just softening them up for 2027

Critical support for our Taliban comrades, clearly /s
That title grammars wrong.
Edit: The author fucking studied at Oxford, too!
I think its almost always the editor that’s charged with creating titles.
Is it? It reads a little awkward, and it’s not how I’d have phrased it, but I think it’s fine
It should be “Taliban plans” or “Taliban says it plans”.
That’s just an ellipsis to avoid repeating the subject, even if just by using a pronoun, in a headline. It’s completely fine as far as grammar goes, but since we’re not living in the age of the telegraph any more, it arguably wouldn’t hurt if journalists ditched that antiquated format and made headlines more readable.

Exactly. Physical headlines had limited space and almost have their own grammar and vocabulary. This is also why you see “slams” and other short words.
Yeah. That’ll end well.
Good luck buddy.
