It’s been 3 months in power, no country has recognized the Taliban rule

BEIJING – Taliban has been in power for more than three months in Afghanistan. However, no country recognizes his government.

China, which has welcomed the Taliban to power again from the start, has also been unwilling to recognize the group’s new Afghan government.

China’s Foreign Minister, Wang Yi, did meet members of Afghanistan’s interim government in Qatar this week. However, there is no official recognition from Beijing of the Taliban rule.

“Things will be different when four countries; China, Pakistan, Russia and Iran reached a consensus on this. We won’t be the first,” said Hu Shisheng, a South Asia expert at China’s Institute of Contemporary International Relations (CICR), a non-profit organization. think tank China’s national security official, to Reuters, which was launched Thursday (28/10/2021).

Speaking at the Beijing Xiangshan Forum, a security forum organized by the military’s official think-tank to promote China’s views on security, Hu provided rare insight into China’s calculations in Afghanistan.

He anticipates that the United States, after withdrawing from Afghanistan, wants to strengthen military cooperation with India, and that could make India more “adventurous” and vulnerable to risk-taking when dealing with China.

China and India have been at loggerheads for decades. Their forces clashed in a disputed section of their Himalayan border in June last year and remain locked in a stalemate.

“A new battle cannot be completely ruled out,” Hu said.
