Could you share your Chinese experiences and suggest what you think are the best opportunities for Afghan youth in China?
In terms of the Chinese experience. I would like to point out few things before wrapping it up.

1. As a neighboring country of Afg, the Afghans can learn many things from China with regard to technology, business, & importantly agriculture economy, since 60% of Afghans household
3- and set up museums for the atrocities committed by Japan and GB in China. The country struggled for over a hundred years to achieve what no nation on the earth could have achieved. China has always kept its profile low during 1970 to muscle up for the future challenges, which

4- which they have now shown to the US and other countries. The Chinese I know are hard-working and progressive people. For instance, even in a library, you won't be able to find a seat for yourself to study due to many Chinese already reserved the seats in the library. it shows

5- their hard-working dedication to the progress of China. Similarly, Chinese factory worker has fixed salary and most of the factories are owned by the government and in return, the government provides them facilities to Chinese worker. The government has control over everything

6. A small percentage of the people are having private companies under the watch of the government. So the country has a mixed economic system for the development of the Chinese people, capitalism with the characteristic of socialism. What Afghan youth can learn from China?

7. Afg has a vast interest in China by joining the Belt & Road initiative (Peace is required in Afg) the BRI will enhance the capability of the Afghans in technology as well business. The BRI will bring jobs to Afghans in the Afg & evade Afghans by using illicit ways of earning.

8. At the moment China will not invest in Afg as a precautionary measurement of the deteriorating security situation in the country. The BRI will bring infrastructure development to Afghanistan and large investment and creation of billions of jobs for both Chinese and Afghans

9. However, I do not doubt that such development of China will have backlash from the West particularly from the US. Afghanistan needs large investment (Peace required) not wars anymore, so the country can build itself to compete with other countries equally in all the areas.

10. I acquired a Chinese government scholarship in 2016 and still I am in China for my Ph.D. Meanwhile, I have many Afghan friends who studied in China and worked here in China. They earn around $2000 to $3000 monthly in China by working with Chinese companies. Some Afghans

11- are relocated to Dubai and other places in the world with the Chinese companies. If one studied in China and learns mandarin, I guaranteed he will get a monthly $1500 for working in a Chinese company or any other company in China.

12. I still remember once my supervisor told me that we will gladly help Afghans to live a peaceful life by investing hugely in the country's mineral industries especially lithium, but we do not want to repeat a mistake where the US bomb Libya and we lost trillions of Yuan.

13. He said if investment pours into Afg. The TB & armed insurgents will drop their weapons and have fixed salary and live a dignified life in the country. He said the investment will empower the rural ears where insurgents operate. U give them a job they will drop their weapons

14. The Chinese are friendlier and cooperative and respect the sovereignty of any country where they have invested. The CCP believes in Asia's rise and will invest hugely in Asia and the Middle East, for instance, China had a strategic deal worth $400 billion with Iran.
