Attacks on chinese in Afghanistan
After the Taliban regained power in Afghanistan in August 2021, China became the first country to upgrade its diplomatic relations with the Taliban to the ambassadorial level and made significant efforts to present itself internationally as a supporter of the Taliban.
International aid plays a vital role in supporting vulnerable communities during humanitarian crises. However, in countries where parts of the territory are controlled by terrorist groups, or in situations like Afghanistan, where the ruling regime is the result of a terrorist group seizing power, such aid is highly susceptible to diversion and abuse.
Three years after their return to power, the Taliban have revered gains for women's rights in Afghanistan, effectively erasing women from public life. The Taliban's leadership remains intransigent, and there is no indication so far that they are willing to reverse their policies.
