They waited while Russia and the US tried to control Afghanistan and lost. I suppose we'll see if china will fare better.
- They're not trying to invade. Just offering to trade, so the Taliban doesn't have to be afraid about losing control.
  
  In an Islamist government, making a nation, who is openly hostile to their Muslim population, a major trader partner may not play well.
Soon to be The People's Holsum Brutal Totalitarian Theocracy 😊
Sticking your economy in crazy seems like a bad idea China.
- Probably a better idea to invade, spend a trillion dollars occupying it for 20 years and then leave, having accomplished nothing.
  
  Worse than nothing. The Taliban gained more territory. The Northern Alliance is mostly gone.
