N2  - Since the Taliban’s seizure of Kabul in August 2021, there has been significant attention to and debate over China’s ties with the Taliban. This article traces the development of China-Taliban relations from the Afghan Civil War in the 1990’s to the present day. We find that China has consistently respected the Taliban as legitimate long-term political actors. We also find that the Taliban have found China to be a valuable source of economic and political support for its regime. We conclude with a discussion of the future trajectory of China-Taliban relations and the implications of this relationship for the balance of power in South Asia
