US rejects Taliban claims of Chinese investment in Afghanistan

US rejects Taliban claims of Chinese investment in Afghanistan

U.S. officials and independent analysts reacted skeptically Friday to a Taliban claim that China is ready to invest billions of dollars in Afghanistan.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said the United States is more concerned with providing aid to the Afghan people facing economic downturn than with the challenge of future Chinese influence in that country.

"We are focused on working with the vast majority of the international community to provide humanitarian assistance to the right people in Afghanistan to provide them with what they need," Psaki said in response to a VOA question.

Earlier this week, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in an interview that the group that now rules the country is committed to ensuring the safety of Chinese workers in exchange for billions of dollars in Chinese investment.

"They are interested in investing in some sectors in Afghanistan and want to negotiate details," Mujahid told VOA.

One of the projects according to Mr. Mujahid is the one related to Mes Aynak, where one of the largest copper mines in Afghanistan and the ancient Buddhist ruins are located.

"This is one of the key areas where they (the Chinese) want to invest billions of dollars and Afghanistan needs that," he added.

China has invested in neighboring countries, such as Pakistan and Iran, and invited Kabul to become part of the China-Pakistan economic corridor, one of China's key infrastructure projects, the One Generation, One Road.

But the idea that China is ready to invest in Afghanistan right now is simply "a wish," said Hussein Haqqani, director of South and Central Asia at the Hudson Institute, a Washington-based think tank. An investment of billions of dollars means that the expectation is that it will provide hundreds of millions of dollars in profits a year, and for now the Afghan economy simply does not present that opportunity.

Mr. Haqqani notes that the Chinese have so far provided only $ 31 million in humanitarian aid to the Taliban.

"This is certainly not an indication of someone who is willing to invest billions," he said.

Large-scale investment in Afghanistan is also undermined by the fact that the Taliban are not internationally recognized. No country has recognized the Islamic Emirate, the name announced by the group, as the official government of Afghanistan, among them China and Russia, another US adversary.

"We are aware that they need cooperation, but there is no room for haste," Russian President Vladimir Putin told a summit on Friday attended by leaders of the former Soviet republics.
