Re: China refuses connect Afghanistan with Silk Road trade via Azure R
No ma'am, I am just saying that the Taleban who still control Southern Afghanistan have no love for India. If.cornered by the India backed NA, the Taleban will oppose the trade route to Chahbahar.
Pakistan has a working relationship with them, even the Americans have opened and maintained diplomatic channel with them thru Doha and now a Taleban delegation visited Beijing. What does it tell you?
India cannot put all her eggs in NA's basket and bypass the Taleban.
Having diplomatic ties with them, China and Pakistan have leverage. This is the harsh reality.
Neo-ji , thanks for your informed reply .
correct me if im wrong on the following :-
(1) talebs have no love for india - neither do they have for pakistan - they have bombed your
civilian institutions in the past and will continue to do so - you havent addressed that point, Sir., which
incidentally i made in my earlier post .
(2) talebs have no ability to act against chhabar , it is not on their territory or nearby -
they dont have that kind of reach in an overwhelming shia Iran , which has little regard for
the heavily sunni taleban.
(3) That China is also in hoc with the talebs doesnt mean that it is now all of a sudden ok - it
simply means that china is making the same mistake that pakistan had already made - it will of
course take more time for it to become apparent in teh case of china as they are larger and have
more resources, but the negative harvest will eventually come
(4) you claim pakistan has "leverage" on taleban ? ......even after the army school event
you still say that ? .....and now china is going to have similar "leverage " .....
well in that case , you have both chosen your future - isnt it one of the
finest ingredients for self-destruct ?
