U.S. absence could provide China with an opportunity to offer development aid and other forms of support to Afghanistan.
China will likely engage with the Taliban to achieve two crucial goals — set up an economic corridor with Afghanistan and ensure stability in its neighborhood, according to Tom Tugendhat, a British Member of Parliament.
Asked if the chaos in Kabul signified a perception that western powers were in a "terminal decline," Tugendhat pointed out that the West has "the patience to endure and succeed." "I'm sure Beijing will be looking to open up an economic corridor in a similar way they tried to do in Pakistan," Tugendhat, leader of the U.K. government's China Research Group and chairman of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, told CNBC's Sri Jegarajah.
