In late August, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi during a telephone call with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken suggested that the global community should provide the Taliban with guidance so that a new political system led by the militant group can support government operations and services, The Hill reported.

China believes that the drawdown of the US forces in Afghanistan could pave the way for the scattered Uyghur separatist groups based in Xinjiang to regroup and facilitate their anti-China operations from Afghanistan.

The East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM) poses a direct threat to China's national security and territorial integrity, according to The Hill.

The organisation has been declared an international terrorist group by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

Yi had told Blinken that the Taliban would need monetary assistance to maintain order and stability and stop the erosion of the Afghani, the currency of Afghanistan, to achieve peaceful reconstruction.

China has been blaming the US for the current Afghanistan situation though it showed support to the Taliban even before the militant group took power in Afghanistan.
