Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said Beijing “respects” Afghanistan’s sovereignty. The statement, at an August 16, 2021 press conference, came after the hardline Taliban group seized control of the country following the US troop withdrawal after 20 years in Afghanistan. Hua said China will take part in Afghanistan’s rebuilding and development efforts, but will not allow any forces to use Afghan soil to harm China.
