Is this airport related to India?

Maintaining stability and security in Afghanistan is the responsibility of the Taliban government, not China.
The passage of B&R and CPEC does not pass through Afghanistan. Even if the Taliban cannot maintain the stability of Afghanistan, it do not harm China's core interests.

Rare earth minerals, Gold, Copper, Uranium...are core interests of China....aren't they?

Here are a few changes the Chinese will look forward to.

The Taliban faced the aggressor and after the aggressor left, after and before the Taliban came to power, the Taliban came to power for the second time and for the first time.

As long as the Taliban do not support terrorism and export extremism, China does not care how they manage the country. Why does China need a military base in Afghanistan?

If you have to invest in Iran (remember $400 Billion promise to Iranians?)...and access to waters and oil/gas of Iran...you need Afghanistan to be stable.....You can't bet too much on CPEC for reasons you know ......Also huge untapped natural resources waiting to be explored.....Rare earth metals, Gold, Uranium, Copper, Iron Ore... I am sure China can't ignore it ...can they?

1. Afghanistan does have a lot of resources, but other countries also have it, such as Africa. Africa is far away, but Afghanistan is also blocked by Hindu Kush mountain. B&R and CPEC are the core interests, Afghanistan is not. And the Taliban should first prove their ability.

2. Of course, China will fulfill its investment commitment to Iran. But China's plan is to believe in Pakistan, and China will connect with Iran through Pakistan. China has a long-term plan in Pakistan. Unlike other places, its investment in Pakistan focuses on infrastructure and energy such as electricity and hydropower, which is different from the construction of garment factories in Vietnam. this is a long-term investment that cannot be easily changed. So it is impossible for China to give up CPEC and go to Afghanistan.

As a first move, Chinese are ready to pay Talibs a hefty amount in lieu of Bagram Air Base leased out to them (99 Years)....

Is it a birth thing or u guys learn it later in life? Nothing but crap comes out of ur mouths.

The world is a buyers market. every country has plenty of 'untapped natural resources' no one has to deal with afghanistan because there is plenty in Russia/Mid East/Africa and even Canada etc

The real test of the Taliban has just begun. The United States has frozen billions of dollars in Afghanistan’s deposits. According to reports, food aid has stopped, and food reserves can only be maintained for a few months. In the past 20 years, for the sake of war, Afghanistan has produced drugs on a large scale, not food, while the population of Afghanistan has doubled. The excitement of the Taliban in gaining power will soon be replaced by anxiety

By the way, let's remind some things that are often overlooked:
1, China's proven iron ore reserves are the 4th in the world, 4 times that of India and 7 times that of the United States.
2, China has the 3rd largest proven coal reserves in the world, accounting for 13.3% of the world's proven reserves.
3, China's oil reserves are 6 billion tons, slightly less than that of the United Arab Emirates, ranking eighth in the world
Contrary to what many people think, China is not short of minerals, but Chinese have sealed up most of the minerals without mining.
Because China has too much trade surplus, Chinese need to balance trade with the world.
In addition to having to rely on imported oil, China, with its huge territory, actually has enough resources. Therefore, a large part of China's enthusiasm for mineral investment abroad comes from balanced trade. If there are not enough trade relations between the two countries, China's investment enthusiasm is actually much less.

As far as I know, China’s iron ore is low-grade iron ore, which has no mining value.

The world's top five largest iron ore producing countries in 2020

1. Australia – 900 million tonnes.
2. Brazil – 400 million tonnes.
3. China – 340 million tonnes
4. India – 230 million tonnes
5. Russia – 95 million tonnes

Profiling the top five largest iron ore producing countries in 2020

The world's top five iron ore producing countries were together responsible for mining more than 80% of the total global supply in 2020.

China will prop up the economy. Cause the cost of economic aid to prop up the Taliban is extremely cheap compared then a failed state in Afghanistan for China.

Your message is wrong.
We are reopening domestic iron mine and reducing iron ore imports to Australia.
In 2020, our iron ore output was be the third in the world, and Australia's iron ore exports fell by 2 million tons, and Iron ore prices fell by more than 40%.

Australians have always believed that China needs to wait until the end of iron mine develop in Africa to reduce iron ore imports. They may forget that China's domestic iron mine can be restarted at any time.
