China seems to be moving in to fill the void left by America's withdrawal of troops in Afghanistan.
An anonymous source reported Kabul authorities are now working with China toward a deal, which would invest in Afghanistan's infrastructure.
Sources report the deal would also extend the $62 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, the flagship project of BRI that involves constructing infrastructure that reaches to Afghanistan.
"China plays a very important role, a significant role, in improving the relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan, and in making sure that a synchronized relationship is established between the two countries."
Due to Afghanistan's location, it could also prove to be a strategic base for China.
Reports say China's overall power in Afghanistan could greatly depend on the Taliban, a group that has been responsible for an increase of mounting attacks since the U.S. announced its removal of troops.
The Taliban may then be one of several problems for China in its quest to take on the war-torn country.
