flag A Kabul bombing targeting Chinese workers deepens Taliban internal divisions over China's economic influence.

flag A bombing in Kabul targeting Chinese workers has heightened tensions within the Taliban, as China’s growing economic influence becomes a flashpoint in internal power struggles. flag The attack, claimed by Islamic State Khorasan Province, reflects both militant opposition to China and a deeper rift between the Kandahar leadership, which supports Chinese investment in mining and infrastructure, and the Haqqani network, which seeks to undermine it. flag Chinese projects, seen as vital for funding and legitimacy, have made figures like warlord Bashir Noorzai key targets. flag The violence underscores how China’s economic role has become entangled in Taliban factional conflicts, threatening both security for foreign nationals and Beijing’s strategic ambitions in Afghanistan.
