That's hilarious. Of course they'd impose their values.
I doubt it, but if they did that would make them pretty stupid for repeating the same mistake the Americans, and Russians did.
You do know all the stuff China has to use goes through the mountains of A-Stan right?
The Taliban can attack the assets, then hide, like they have been doing against the US for 20 years.
This too. China always instils its values
Did you not hear what I said about a 100 mile exclusion zone? If an entire area is covered by drones, or filled with poison gas insurgents won't be able to sneak up on it. Like honestly 100 miles is a lot of ground to cover, doing a hit and run like that isn't impossible but ridiculously hard.
Also what is your basis for thinking that the Chinese will always install their values? This isn't Mao's China they aren't true believers in socialism, they want to increase China's power, they don't care about the internal affairs of other nations as long as those internal affairs won't make them hostile to Chinese interests. Like China won't try to convince it's Muslim vassals to adopt state atheism, or not make women property, or not kill gays. The Chinese will allow all that because it does not affect them.
Of course, they would, just ask the Tibetan Buddhists.
Oh, wait...
Well the Chinese want Tibet part of China, so they have to make the people there Chinese. An Afghanistan that is a vassal to China can still be a Muslim theocracy.
The US didn't care about what religion they used.
We just tried to make then democratic. Had we let them lead themselves via tribes it would be fine
Umm not really your bosses tried to give equal rights to women, tried to make things secular, tried to make equality under the law. You don't care if the Muslims were secular like modern liberal Christians. But you definitely don't like actual Muslims who practice their religion.
