Once a small minority, Chinese nationals now make up Afghanistan's biggest group of expatriates. When the Taliban returned to power in August 2021, most foreigners and multinational companies had already packed up and left Afghanistan. Going against the stream of foreigners fleeing the country was a group looking for "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunities: Chinese entrepreneurs. Despite the ongoing unrest, an economic crisis and United Nations' concerns over human rights, more Chinese citizens are joining the country's "gold rush".
The Chinese are smart and willing to do the hard work. For these reasons, the Chinese and Afghans deserve and will receive success, although the beginning is always the hard part.
Now is the time to buy when the new city is built the prices will sky rocket and no one will be able to afford these houses, most of the flat or houses in the the new section of the city which is been built right now will be too expensive...
@@Friedrich-ck2le Correct there are also 100,000 pashtuns in china as well and their numbers are growing...First a few starting in 1990s to go to korea but korea is such a tough expensive place that doing business is almost impossible so allot of them went to china they buy stuff from china and sell it everywhere....There are round face Asian people like Hazara who are the decendents of Mongol army and they are there in afghanistan in their millions so once you wear Afghan cloth they might think he chines man is hazara ha ha ha so he can easily blend in....

because America's goal in Afghanistan is not actually to fight ISIS, but to seize Afghanistan's resources. like in much of the middle east, syria, iraq, libya.
@@shadmansudipto7287 That's like worse than stealing resources, that means the us only sees Afghanistan as place that is used for their show of power, they don't see Afghanistan as a country.
Many Chinese aid workers and volunteers went to Afghanistan the winter after USA troops left because many Afghans were facing famine. China also face famine after the colonial powers left and blockade China. At that time most countries were still under colonial rule so no one help the Chinese people.
As an afghan I know that our country has many problems and also know that China is helping our country in many ways and also know that our enemies and yours will never allow our relationship to progress. But Inshallah, if god wills, this relationship will be an unprecedented friendship and partnership between Afghanistan, which has recently come out of war, and China, the world's largest economical super power. But our Chinese friends should keep in mind that like us Their enemies are also present all over the world and they are also not in favor of strong trade and political relations between Afghanistan and China.Both countries can successfully face these difficulties together. We make our relationship as strong as the "great wall of china". hope. Long live china Afghanistan 🙏 Edit Thank you my Chinese friends
Bro yes WE can make good trade with China ! BUT..... China can also HARM us in 10 YEARS ! They can say now that and THAT IS OUR Property ! They can Steal Our land If WE are Not AWAKE!
This documentary is very old about three years ago when the Islamic Emirates first conquered Kabul from NATO now it’s much peace and Chinese investments are increasing day by day residential town is about to be completed costing around 700 million dollars built by the help of Chinese government
Kabul wasn’t conquered from NATO. We could have stayed another 20 years if we wanted. There was a withdrawal agreement in place. The Kabul government fell because the army and police we trained was corrupt, cowards who ran or some even supported the Taliban and welcomed them.
you should make a documentary to show how it is now. My best wishes for the people of Afghanistan. The US from soviet times to now has destroyed so much of their future.
The Americans see everyone as either their suckers or enemies. The Chinese on the other hand, are making friends and helping friends to develop and prosper.
We will, in time Brother. Just be aware that is Afghans are aware pf the Chonese debt traps...and we will not allow this disrespect and unethical behavior, so as long as their is mutual respect, we are good.
God willing Afghanistan will overcome its difficulties wth the help of Chinese friends and realise its potential and bring its people to peace and prosperity which they so richly deserve. God bless Afganistan.
The West has branded Afghan to long with negative publicity. We are people and we all deserve more then what west or anybodies want to portriet about us.
The Chinese understands this intimately. Every day we hear smears against China, which is always packaged as some appeal to "morality" or anti-ComMuniSm fantasy. In reality, the "free world" couldn't care less about the human rights of the Chinese. This is patently obvious in the "free world" rage against any Chinese accomplishments.
Non-west is portrayed badly on western medias, who are dominant in the world today. What is the point? So that capital and talented people (from non-west) come to the West, making them the center of the world. Anopther strategy from the West: make chaos everywhere, except the West. (China vs. Taiwan, China vs. Philipine, Russia vs. Ukraine, Arab vs. Israel...)
China wad once poor, helpless, and bullied. Therefore it's not hard for many Chinese to understand what people need and how to help them. And Chinese culture believes the goodness in human nature, the desire for peace and prosperity in everyone. Afghanistan for sure can and will have a bright future.

@@phoenixrising8640 The "debt trap" is something that the United States and European countries are best at creating. They always like to use their own sins to falsely accuse others. The Western led World Bank is the biggest source of foreign debt for most third world countries. The United States manipulates the US dollar interest rate to manipulate the tide of the US dollar, making these countries unable to pay off their foreign debt and interest. They have to sell a large amount of high-quality assets at a low price, causing asset prices to collapse. At this time, the capitalists on Wall Street in the United States come to buy these high-quality assets at a low price, which is the old trick of the United States to rob the world. It has always been very effective. But in recent years, it has become a bit dysfunctional. Because China joined midway, when Americans controlled the US dollar and put many countries on the brink of default and bankruptcy, China lent its own dollars to these countries. After receiving the US dollar, they repaid the US dollar debt and interest, so these countries were rescued from the trap of debt default. Therefore, their asset prices would not collapse, and the US Wall Street's plan to rob world assets at low prices went bankrupt. Although the Federal Reserve has been raising interest rates continuously in recent years, what sets it apart from the past is that very few countries have truly gone bankrupt. The United States has not harvested much assets, and their domestic asset black hole cannot be filled. The United States will face internal problems, and many American banks have already gone bankrupt, so they cannot sustain it for long.
@@phoenixrising8640 about that debt traps talk, bro, we loan the money so you can make money, when you are rich, then you can buy our products. It is a win-win situation. would you call your own bank a debt trap?

China does not have enemy in the world. If any country treat China as enemy, that is his problem. Afghanistan is China's neighbor and We always want help neighbor.
This is about mutual respect. Afghans govern their country, Chinese govern their country, both respect each other's sovereignty. This is how we get along. This is how we have always gotten along, going back thousands of years to create the Silk Road.
China helps but is being looked upon with a motive. Of course, with a motive! Chinese are opportunists. They look for opportunities to boost mutual benefits. They are not interested in politics. Remember my grandfather, who was very poor in China in the late 1800s. He went to Nanyang"南洋‘’ to look for work to support the family back in China (I believe other families with a similar history. like mine.) My grandfather worked hard and had contributed to the foreign land in a small way, but to his family, the benefit was huge. Nowadays, the Chinese's perspective is different. They don't need to go to foreign land to work. They are willing to help and share the future.
This Chinese Guy ask 30k a Month to Life in a Hotel in Kabul with regular rooms is waaaaaaaay to high. I will give a max of 50$ a day instead of 1000$ totally not worth it.
China want a peaceful middle asian to do bussiness to europea,Afghan want money and industry,China can give them only if they allow Chinese pass through.That is win win.ofc they will do it
7:42 that's an RPG fragmentation rocket, you don't see those very often. makes sense though,they brought the RPG in case they encounter enemies in vehicles, but since the taliban no longer face a proper military force, they're sure to be soft-skinned vehicles. those are most likely more heavily impacted by a fragmentation RPG rocket. the common shaped charge warhead could penetrate the whole engine block, but I doubt any car is going to run after you fire a frag round directly towards the engine block either. I wonder if the frag roundhas more range due to its small diameter... although apparently it's a bit heavier (2kg vs 1.5kg or so).
You are a great man you have a great heart for the people who need it most. God bless you and I hope you make it so much respect to you guys. Iove is the way to prosper together
The Taliban was founded after the Soviet Union (Russia) left Afghanistan and the United States had zero to do with the movement. In fact, the Taliban was formed in part by ethnic groups that exist in the former Soviet republics of Tajikistan and Uzbeckistan. I fully understand why friends of Russia want to cover that part up.
If you want to know where the West went wrong than you need to look no further than asking yourself why Mexico is still relatively poor. On the USA's doorstep. It isn't in our mindset to lift countries out of poverty. Faraway places are for strip mining. Not for people to live decent lives. Even now all we do is think in terms of China hoarding rare ores and minerals. Another way to look at it is that China are great at handling under-developed areas and expect a favor in return. Who is the sinister one, us or China?
It's outside interference causing these fights. Edit: u misunderstood. No, it's only the rare, random ISKP attack, which, as I told u above, is due to outside interference, and then our security forces have to eliminate the threats but not as u are trying to make as if we have fighting...our Is'la'mic Em'irat'e sec'u'rity for'ce's thankfully have firm control over all of Afgh'anis'tan.

I am Chinese, to be honest, America occupied Afghanistan for 20 years and has killed 174,000 people in there. But China, coz of the Belt and Road project, China government has sent experts to coach these militias who used to carry Ak47 and RPG weapons, teach the opium farmers, how to switch to wheat and crops.
This generation of Afghans may not be able to recover from 30+ years of violence. The Chinese do not take their own history into account. One said that Afghanistan now is like China in the 1980s, but maybe it's like the 1950s?
On the doc makers, hats off to you. On Afghanistan becoming prosperous, mixing religion and government will always keep you backwards. On the Chinese investors, 不怕慢,就怕停!
The start of a country is basically energy and resources, including China. It is not surprising that China has commodities and Afghanistan has resources. The transaction between the two sides is a win-win result, which is conducive to the stability and development of Afghanistan.
The U.S. ALWAYS HAS eyes for the RESOURCE-POOR United States dollar powering the World Bank funding NATO military weapons investments, to give you a poverty stricken debt stressed life on the sacrifice of resource-based nations. The Americans live month to month with the country affected by an over $30 trillion federal debt with the economy affected by galloping inflation, hating that their taxes goes to military weapons while you bend over to get wacked by Uncle Sam! GROW A BRAIN, YOU'RE NOT SPECIAL LIKE HUNTER BIDEN, SO SHUT AND STOP CRYING! “The United States spends over $87 billion conducting a war in Iraq while the United Nations estimates that for less than half that amount we could provide clean water, adequate diets, sanitations services and basic education to every person on the planet. And we wonder why terrorists attack us.” - John Perkins, IMF whistleblower.
Don't worry my dear China's friend, the current regime are fundamentalists Darul Ulum regime so that's why there are seems like almost Boko Haram and its not totally in favour of all Afghanistan peoples and never ever representing all Afghanis at all. When the times comes soonly, Afghanistan will be ruling by a newly era revolutionary with more alternative, progressive, liberations and friendly regime so that Afghanistan-China will be more closely, cooperative and strongly alliance that will brings bountifully prosperity to each others.
I hope that good that good things will come of this and that the children will be cared for in the process. We are all human beings and regardless of what our governments get up to there should be no hate for one another. May God bless the Afghan children and prayers for a better future for them ❣️
Exactly. Without indig energy, there's no electricity Kabul (best) gets 2-4 hours a day at MOST. Without reliable energy ... you don't have communications nor even clean drinking water. C'mon.
The Chinese word for crisis actually comprises of two word: Danger and opportunity, they dont care about your religion, your politics, all they care are two things, safety and money
42:00 As long you're non-destructive and violate its principle religion, law, culture and breach their liberty you're welcome to develop and benefit mutually.
Those afghans don't like the Chinese or don't trust them I can tell by face. They should leave them alone until the afghans prove themselves and security because they may ambush them
Funny how Taliban used to fight side by side with US army, because US need them to face Soviet. After Soviet falls, Taliban was branded terrorist because they not letting US companies to build oil rig and depots. Taliban once again fought side by side with US army on small operations when US need them to face ISIS. After ISIS falls, Taliban was bombarded by US army who gathered information about where they hid. Now US complained Taliban and all Afghan tribes once again traded with China. Fun fact, Afghan tribes traded with Chinese dated way back before Roman was only handful of cities ruled no bigger than today's Italy.
Have you been to Ethiopia? There are many Chinese companies around, and even the local vegetable vendors can speak Chinese. If you want to do business with me, you have to learn my language first, not me learning the local language.
Tell me why the RESOURCE-RICH African continent were forced to speak English? I'm an African woman with a British name, they even took our traditional family names away from millions of us when our great greats were their slaves in our own native lands! Kinda iffy when you think the African continent is English! In my adult years I have been living in China and they don't force me to speak Mandarin, they instead try to learn from me, while unqualified Americans charge them thousands to learn one English sentence! BLAME YOUR PEOPLE!
After 20 years, hundreds of thousands of Americans had stationed in Afghan, how many Americans speaking Afghan local languages fluently? Possibly Zero.
The documentary - Chinese have lots to do to Afghans to rebuild the country from the rubble left by the Americans. Chinese can make friends to Afghans. This is the opportunity for that. Let's hope that Afghanistan will prosper with the help of China.
These are just Chinese individual businessmen, some of whom are actually exiled due to criminal offenses. I'm Chinese living in Afghanistan now, and this report is not professional, I have to say.
Foreign investors will have to create temporary projects (1 to 4 year plan ) to permanent (5-10 year plans) . Due to the constant global changes going on across the world anyone investing in Afghanistan will have to produce GOOD RESULTS that will benefit the people of Afghanistan. Its better to start with fast-track developments so that each successful one will go into the 2nd and 3rd year guaranteeing long-term investments and collaboration. Also be prepared for anything. I can understand if the Afghan government changes proposals or conditions without notice due to impact the past conflict has had on the country. However the government and the people will also need to be patient and create their own investments to avoid disappointments instead of full relying on foreigners. Its a 50-50 situation but the people of Afghanistan should benefit first. Don't go there to steal or take advantage rather go there to help and build a nation
As to new housing project.. signs seem off.. locals will not be allowed, our people can eat and DRINK... though professor tried to politically correct it

7:42 that's an RPG fragmentation rocket, you don't see those very often. makes sense though,they brought the RPG in case they encounter enemies in vehicles, but since the taliban no longer face a proper military force, they're sure to be soft-skinned vehicles. those are most likely more heavily impacted by a fragmentation RPG rocket. the common shaped charge warhead could penetrate the whole engine block, but I doubt any car is going to run after you fire a frag round directly towards the engine block either.
I wonder if the frag roundhas more range due to its small diameter... although apparently it's a bit heavier (2kg vs 1.5kg or so).
No foreigner will be allowed to buy this in Afghanistan
You are a great man you have a great heart for the people who need it most. God bless you and I hope you make it so much respect to you guys. Iove is the way to prosper together
time will tell how this journey will turn out...
Indeed
may ALLAH SWT grant the fertility of the land to Aganistan Allahuakbar. Salam From Malaysia.
16:31 kinda sounds like theyre just caring about themselves, and not the local population in afghanistan right now...
He trying to turn Afghanistan as a tourist destination for china😅😅😅😅😅😂
Money over morale to how they treat the people..... self indulgence mind set?.bravo
Nice video 📹
Thank you ENDEVR for your Heard work
Respect afghan people...... The Chinese respect you in your own country unlike what they do in Africa
young sin's heart is right either he adopted the pestuns or they adopted him
just hope taliban are more open to women doing businesses because there are a lot of Chinese women doing businesses
If open to women (according to you) means open to licentiousness then no
Taliban now allows women to do business.
We have many female entrepreneurs in Afghanistan
Remind me again who was Taliban's friend when Soviet invaded Afghanistan. You guessed it right. Pathetic states of America
The Taliban was founded after the Soviet Union (Russia) left Afghanistan and the United States had zero to do with the movement. In fact, the Taliban was formed in part by ethnic groups that exist in the former Soviet republics of Tajikistan and Uzbeckistan. I fully understand why friends of Russia want to cover that part up.

How to go there??
Where Afghanistan?
Where are u from? Them I cam try and guide u 😊
where are you from and where do you live.
Welcome China to Afghanistan, do business; but remember: Afghanistan is the graveyard of empires.
Why do i get the feeling that Yang, and his ‘Voice of Peace, is a ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’.
That's because it is.
👏🏻🇷🇸🇷🇺🇨🇳❤
haha serbia and russia are the footlickers of china
Nobody will Talk about this as exploiting of a country. If some western country would do exactly this, they would be harshed.
If you want to know where the West went wrong than you need to look no further than asking yourself why Mexico is still relatively poor. On the USA's doorstep. It isn't in our mindset to lift countries out of poverty. Faraway places are for strip mining. Not for people to live decent lives. Even now all we do is think in terms of China hoarding rare ores and minerals. Another way to look at it is that China are great at handling under-developed areas and expect a favor in return. Who is the sinister one, us or China?
Afghanistan 🇦🇫 can progress but they have to stop fighting each other. They can make their country great again.
It's outside interference causing these fights.
Edit: u misunderstood.
No, it's only the rare, random ISKP attack, which, as I told u above, is due to outside interference, and then our security forces have to eliminate the threats but not as u are trying to make as if we have fighting...our Is'la'mic Em'irat'e sec'u'rity for'ce's thankfully have firm control over all of Afgh'anis'tan. Afghanistan is one of the safest countries in the world now.
Afghanistan now lives in complete peace, there is no internal fighting, as it says.
No there is still some fighting
Media doesn’t show it
@@PaulGill-jf9cm No, it's only the very rare, random I-S-K-P attack, which, as I told u above, is due to outside interference, and then our security forces have to eliminate the threats but not as u are trying to make as if we have fighting...our Is'la'mic Em'irat'e sec'u'rity for'ce's thankfully have firm control over all of Afgh'anis'tan.

I knew this was going to happen! Great documentary
Also just as Chinese are polite people the afghans are not telling them their real feelings you have to read their body language.
I am Chinese, to be honest, America occupied Afghanistan for 20 years and has killed 174,000 people in there. But China, coz of the Belt and Road project, China government has sent experts to coach these militias who used to carry Ak47 and RPG weapons, teach the opium farmers, how to switch to wheat and crops.
lol sure you are😄
Poverty is the problem of crime
This generation of Afghans may not be able to recover from 30+ years of violence. The Chinese do not take their own history into account. One said that Afghanistan now is like China in the 1980s, but maybe it's like the 1950s?
don't trust china afganistan brother
Did u see no locals will be allowed in Chinese areas ... go and see how they treat Africans
Arabs don't like Africans unless they are in African territory.
Yeah as an afghan i think this is one of those things that will start out good but end horribly in the end
@@celestial_s : See what happens in Africa and in Laos for example.
@@rambodiehardwarrior749 Yup never trust no outsider, it's always in their interest and never in the natives.
22 Chinese were arrested in Zambia on doing fraud not only in Africa but Asia too. They are racist too. You can do business but be careful
Like ur mind
@@NagomRM including yours
Indeed, Chinese also seek money
任何诈骗都是可耻，如果有任何中国人违反法律都应该严惩，但是这并不代表我们的全部。
Some are here to build......some are here to destroy
On the doc makers, hats off to you. On Afghanistan becoming prosperous, mixing religion and government will always keep you backwards. On the Chinese investors, 不怕慢,就怕停!
Wr will always be ruled by Islam. China can't change thos or they will be repeating the August 2021 scenario...😊
The china has eyes on lithium and minerals reserve for extracting and built product
The start of a country is basically energy and resources, including China. It is not surprising that China has commodities and Afghanistan has resources. The transaction between the two sides is a win-win result, which is conducive to the stability and development of Afghanistan.
True, maybe. At least the Chinese bring business, not bombs.
生意对双方都有利才能一直维持下去，开采矿产需要修理架桥运出来，修公路或者铁路对阿富汗没有好处吗？阿富汗政府可以利用卖矿的钱建设基础设施，有了电、有了路，就可以发展工业了，那怕只是流水线组装或者手工业也能让很多人获得养活自己和家人的能力。政府有钱了，可以进口化肥和修建水利设施提高粮食产量，也能让更多的阿富汗人吃饱饭。中国想买阿富汗的矿产就得先让阿富汗各个派别达成共识，稳定下来，让绝大多数阿富汗不再挨饿，也能穿上温暖的衣服。这样中国的企业和投资才能进入阿富汗，利用跟中国的贸易获得的钱让国家逐步走向正规，让阿富汗人过上和平稳定美好的生活。
The U.S. ALWAYS HAS eyes for the RESOURCE-POOR United States dollar powering the World Bank funding NATO military weapons investments, to give you a poverty stricken debt stressed life on the sacrifice of resource-based nations. The Americans live month to month with the country affected by an over $30 trillion federal debt with the economy affected by galloping inflation, hating that their taxes goes to military weapons while you bend over to get wacked by Uncle Sam! GROW A BRAIN, YOU'RE NOT SPECIAL LIKE HUNTER BIDEN, SO SHUT AND STOP CRYING!
“The United States spends over $87 billion conducting a war in Iraq while the United Nations estimates that for less than half that amount we could provide clean water, adequate diets, sanitations services and basic education to every person on the planet. And we wonder why terrorists attack us.” - John Perkins, IMF whistleblower.
建立一个中国人的区域，不允许阿富汗人进入，这个好像有点不合法吧。
Don't worry my dear China's friend, the current regime are fundamentalists Darul Ulum regime so that's why there are seems like almost Boko Haram and its not totally in favour of all Afghanistan peoples and never ever representing all Afghanis at all. When the times comes soonly, Afghanistan will be ruling by a newly era revolutionary with more alternative, progressive, liberations and friendly regime so that Afghanistan-China will be more closely, cooperative and strongly alliance that will brings bountifully prosperity to each others.
@@ophirbactrius8285 its just that the same thing happened to China when Europeans made a street in Beijing just for them, that's the point
Seems like a nice guy, trying to make a difference.
0:43 when you say 1980s you mean all of the 1980s or you include all of them except 1989?
I hope that good that good things will come of this and that the children will be cared for in the process. We are all human beings and regardless of what our governments get up to there should be no hate for one another. May God bless the Afghan children and prayers for a better future for them ❣️
@@LettyMatamoros Indeed
I only have one question how do you befriend someone in the taliban, not saying I wanna be friends but just curious
Afghanistan the graveyard of Empire
The Belt and Road Initiative... Win Win... . Capitalism for War, Socialism for Peace
If we had politicians with any sense we would produce our own oil which then makes them be competitive with their oil
Exactly. Without indig energy, there's no electricity Kabul (best) gets 2-4 hours a day at MOST.
Without reliable energy ... you don't have communications nor even clean drinking water. C'mon.
The Chinese word for crisis actually comprises of two word: Danger and opportunity, they dont care about your religion, your politics, all they care are two things, safety and money
42:00 As long you're non-destructive and violate its principle religion, law, culture and breach their liberty you're welcome to develop and benefit mutually.
Chinese work & invest together with Afghanistan and no a single bullet fired & one killed.
Those afghans don't like the Chinese or don't trust them I can tell by face. They should leave them alone until the afghans prove themselves and security because they may ambush them
Who said that ?
China is our only neighboring country that never interferes in Afghanistan so all Afghans respect them
say that to the US who occupied Afghan for 20yrs. ur lame statement just clearly shows ur enviousness & bitterment
@@leexingha he or she is not Afghan
@@leexingha what there doing to the africans is no different to what they will do to the afghans. chinese think there superior to all of humanity
Very weak video, there are national projects in afghanistan why are you showing me the failure of guest house and a media ?!
Afghanistan and china national interest to build silk road and build stronger ties with each others
I'm shocked watching this video
Funny how Taliban used to fight side by side with US army, because US need them to face Soviet. After Soviet falls, Taliban was branded terrorist because they not letting US companies to build oil rig and depots. Taliban once again fought side by side with US army on small operations when US need them to face ISIS. After ISIS falls, Taliban was bombarded by US army who gathered information about where they hid. Now US complained Taliban and all Afghan tribes once again traded with China. Fun fact, Afghan tribes traded with Chinese dated way back before Roman was only handful of cities ruled no bigger than today's Italy.
good documentary but kinda iffy about them living somewhere where they don't at least pick up the local language or at least english.
Have you been to Ethiopia? There are many Chinese companies around, and even the local vegetable vendors can speak Chinese. If you want to do business with me, you have to learn my language first, not me learning the local language.
Tell me why the RESOURCE-RICH African continent were forced to speak English? I'm an African woman with a British name, they even took our traditional family names away from millions of us when our great greats were their slaves in our own native lands! Kinda iffy when you think the African continent is English! In my adult years I have been living in China and they don't force me to speak Mandarin, they instead try to learn from me, while unqualified Americans charge them thousands to learn one English sentence! BLAME YOUR PEOPLE!
After 20 years, hundreds of thousands of Americans had stationed in Afghan, how many Americans speaking Afghan local languages fluently? Possibly Zero.
Great movie
The documentary - Chinese have lots to do to Afghans to rebuild the country from the rubble left by the Americans.
Chinese can make friends to Afghans. This is the opportunity for that. Let's hope that Afghanistan will prosper with the help of China.
America will never like this move😂😂😂😂
The world forgot them since 2021
Young Sin fell in love with Pestun culture and hospitality and now wasting all his money and life. It happened to me in Yemen
Baba Vanga was right.
Not truly, Afghanistan pronounced with the all countries the same healthy relationship. For their own benefits like developing economic.
These are just Chinese individual businessmen, some of whom are actually exiled due to criminal offenses. I'm Chinese living in Afghanistan now, and this report is not professional, I have to say.
China ❤
Foreign investors will have to create temporary projects (1 to 4 year plan ) to permanent (5-10 year plans) . Due to the constant global changes going on across the world anyone investing in Afghanistan will have to produce GOOD RESULTS that will benefit the people of Afghanistan. Its better to start with fast-track developments so that each successful one will go into the 2nd and 3rd year guaranteeing long-term investments and collaboration. Also be prepared for anything. I can understand if the Afghan government changes proposals or conditions without notice due to impact the past conflict has had on the country. However the government and the people will also need to be patient and create their own investments to avoid disappointments instead of full relying on foreigners. Its a 50-50 situation but the people of Afghanistan should benefit first. Don't go there to steal or take advantage rather go there to help and build a nation
Good on the Chinese Government for helping
Why this arabic belly dance music as a background? We are not arab😂
20 years of occupation not war
China is intelligent it will not do the same as Soviet or Usa
Chinese came to build
China doesn't care who's in charge, they just want money.
I wonder if the chinese resturant whill prepare pork there
I was thinking same
