“The common view of the international community is that the end of military intervention by the United States and its allies should be the beginning of them assuming their responsibilities. They are more obligated than any other country to provide economic, livelihood and humanitarian assistance to the Afghan people, and help Afghanistan maintain stability, prevent chaos and move toward sound development on the premise of respecting the sovereignty and independence of Afghanistan.”

“We noticed that some terrorist groups have gathered and developed in Afghanistan over the past two decades, posing a serious threat to international and regional peace and security. In particular, as an international terrorist organization listed by the UN Security Council, the ETIM [East Turkestan Islamic Movement] poses a immediate threat to the security of the China and its people. The head of the Afghan Taliban made it clear to the Chinese side that the Afghan Taliban will never allow any force to use the Afghan territory to engage in acts that hurt China. The Afghan Taliban should earnestly honor its commitment, make a clean break with all terrorist organizations, resolutely fight against the ETIM and clear the way for regional security, stability, development and cooperation.”

“While Pakistan might be thinking of leveraging on Afghanistan against India, this is not necessarily the case for China. China's primary concern now is for the Taliban to ... build an inclusive and moderate regime so that terrorism would not spill over to Xinjiang and the region. Any other calculus further to that remains to be seen.”

“If the security situation in Afghanistan doesn't improve soon, terrorist activities may flare up in the country and threaten China's Xinjiang and regional countries where China has interests. Though the Afghan Taliban had vowed not to allow any force to use Afghan territories to attack another country, it may lack real control of the complex power branches and remote mountainous areas.”

“China has maintained contact and communication with the Afghan Taliban and other factions on the basis of fully respecting the national sovereignty of Afghanistan and the will of various factions in the country. The Taliban should curb terrorism and criminal acts, to ensure there is peace in Afghanistan, so that the Afghan people who have suffered from the war can live peacefully. Some repeatedly stress distrust of the Taliban, but what I want to say is nothing in the world can stand still. I prefer to look at things dialectically, to see its past and present, and its words as well as actions. The rapid evolution of Afghanistan's situation actually shows that the outside world lacks of objective judgments over the situation in Afghanistan and accurate grasp of the public opinion of Afghans. In this regard, I think that some Western countries in particular should learn a lesson.”

“While China may like seeing the US out of its backyard, it may be underestimating the extent of the challenges that it faces in Afghanistan largely due to its reliance on Pakistan for information about the situation there. There is a kind of a triumphalism about what's happened, and an expectation that China could perhaps, in a way, swoop in and pick up the pieces. If they actually believe that, they're going to be in for a rude shock, if not immediately, then over time.”

“It is very important for China to see how the Taliban stabilise the situation. I think the most important step is political reconciliation. Talk of major economic engagement is too early. China made it quite clear that the situation on the ground needs to be stable, and that they want to see positive developments. If the Taliban can keep its promise properly and improve security, not allow militants to go against other countries, including China, I think it's quite possible for China to consider economic engagement, in a big way.”
