Afghan expansion. China says it’s eyeing a major expansion of the Belt and Road Initiative into Afghanistan as the U.S. ducks out of the country. According to Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, expanding the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor – a sprawling jumble of BRI infrastructure projects – into Afghanistan is a natural way to help stabilize the country. But the devil is in the details. Expect China to move gingerly to avoid getting swamped with security burdens that it has little interest in taking on.

    Think this is just a false flag operation. If you want to put your money into a pile and light it on fire you would bet a better return on your money than investing in Afghan infrastructure. The chicoms are a lot smarter than Bush and Cheney.
