Another interesting development has taken place in the global political scenario. The Taliban government, which continues to rule Afghanistan, is now seeking China’s help. This is regardless of the criticism leveled at America by Dragon Country.
The Taliban are urging China to seek recognition in the international community for its Islam Emirate government (Taliban government). It is hoped that this will bring salvation to the $ 9 billion stashed overseas. “We now have all the conditions for recognition from the international community.” Taliban spokesman Bilal Karimi said in a statement on Tuesday that China wanted to help the Islamic Emirate in a big way.
No country has ever recognized the Taliban government in Afghanistan. There are US and UN sanctions against some members of the current Taliban cabinet for their involvement in terrorism, human rights abuses, and the exclusion of girls from education. That is why, despite taking office in August, the Taliban government has yet to gain international recognition.

The Taliban have said they will lay the groundwork for reforms once they take power, despite reports of manipulation. It has stated that it will not promote terrorism, will seek to curb terrorism in Afghanistan, and will continue to be a woman-friendly government. While the situation is expected to be favorable at the moment, some events (anti-movements) in the country are on the rise too which is another big headache for the Taliban. Afghanistan is also facing a severe food crisis ever since the Taliban took over in August 2021. With so many crises and internal problems, the Taliban has entered the field wanting to gain recognition with the help of China.
Taliban Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani, who recently met with Chinese Ambassador Wang Yu, appears to have sought China’s support. It seems to have received a positive response. It is also reported that during the meeting, both sides blamed the US for the stagnation of funds between American and European banks. “It is not good for America to retaliate against the Afghans through economic sanctions,” Wang said. Meanwhile, Haqqani, a Taliban minister, is on the FBI’s most-wanted list.
