The ruling Taliban has signed a deal with a Chinese company to extract oil from northern Afghanistan’s Amu Darya basin

as the radical Islamist group attempts to bolster the South Asian nation’s increasingly impoverished and isolated economy. The agreement with China’s Xinjiang Central Asia Petroleum and Gas Co is the first major international energy extraction deal the Taliban has signed since taking control of Afghanistan in 2021.

In addition to other minerals, oil is the wealth of the Afghan people on which the economy of the country can rely,” Baradar said. According to the contract, the Chinese firm will invest up to $150 million a year, which will increase to $540 million in three years. “The project directly provides job opportunities for 3,000 Afghans,” the statement said. While no country has officially recognized the Taliban, China has substantial investment in the region.

Hunter still making deals

Lets see if China takes over for the West & feed their people. They took farmland away from farmers so there is less hope being self sufficient. China can either help them survive in 10-12 years or take everything that is valuable and leave them with nothing after its all gone.

As usual Chinese are defending Talibans

biden creates vacuum, china comes in...this needs investigation... wonder if hunter is hunting for oil along with china in afghanistan.

Joe Biden compromised by the Chinese government, 10% to the big guy? Truth or conspiracy theory? This would explain the hasty withdrawal from afghanistan.
