Afghan Taliban Sign Oil Deal With China

 

OilPrice.com: Taliban Signs Oil Deal With Chinese 

The Taliban’s signing of an international oil deal with the Chinese was televised on Thursday--its first international agreement since it took over Afghanistan in August 2021, according to the Diplomat. 

The Taliban struck a 25-year deal with China-based Xinjiang central Asia Petroleum and Gas Co (CAPEIC) for the Amu Darya oil project.

Under the terms of the deal, CAPEIC will invest $150 million per year over the next three years in Afghanistan, then $540 million per year for the next 22 years. The Taliban will carry a 20% share in the project but will have the option to increase its stake to 75%.

Hunter Biden probably picked up that bag of cash in China a few months before Biden made that deal to give Afghanistan back to the Taliban/China.
