That's where their roving eyes will come to rest sometime in the next 20 or so years, once the USA collapses upon itself in debt and depravity.



China needs oil and coal, I’d bet on places in Africa since its easy pickings. South Africa for coal, Nigeria for oil.

Afghanistan has everything China needs. Afghanistan has everything the free world needs to keep China at bay for decades. Leaving without working out some deals for the natural resources of Afghanistan is a HUGE mistake. HUGE ! China already has copper mines in the country. When America leaves someone has to provide some security for those mines.

But, China will let the Taliban run wild for a while and when the time is right China will be over the pass and into Afghanistan. Just like Tibet. And Taiwan. And a bunch of small islands across the south China sea. Maybe even Viet Nam.
