The Paper: On September 13, the spokesperson for the Afghan Taliban Suhail Shaheen said, “the US should lift the freeze, as it is the money of the people of Afghanistan. Afghanistan has a lot of economic problems, because of that, this freeze is against the people of Afghanistan. There is a need for that. The new government will take every legal action possible“. Some in the Afghan business community also complained that the US freeze on Afghanistan’s national assets has severely dragged normal economic interactions and import and export businesses. What is China’s comment on this? Zhao Lijian: Shaheen is right. The assets belong to Afghanistan and should be spent for the Afghan people. The US should not freeze them without justification. The US should face up to the legitimate demand of Afghanistan, abandon pressures and sanctions, and stop creating obstacles to the economy, livelihood and peace and reconstruction in Afghanistan. __________________ Powered by Shanghai Media Group, Shang
