China was going to recognize the Taliban even before we started pulling out. They're supposedly going to bring their belt and road initiative to Afghanistan.
Belt and road is about putting other countries into debt. The Chinese are great predator capitalists. They don't need to take over the world militarily if they can just buy it instead. If they succeed in putting Afghanistan into a debt trap, cheap mining rights are theirs for the taking.
I'm not sure it will succeed in Afghanistan, but at least it will be somebody else's turn.
