China offers $31m in emergency aid to Afghanistan
9 September 2021
China has pledged 200 million yuan ($31m, £22m) worth of aid to Afghanistan, including food supplies and coronavirus vaccines.
The aid comes as Beijing said it was ready to maintain communication with the Taliban government.
It added that the establishment of the new interim government was a "necessary step to restore order" in Afghanistan.
The Taliban's interim cabinet was announced last week, with the country declared an "Islamic Emirate".

If they had any remote thought of helping the ppl. Again, its China, they have their own labor camps
Let them pour billions done that rat hole.
