The Chinese entrepreneurs chasing an Afghan ‘gold rush’ | 101 East Documentary

When the Taliban returned to power in August 2021, most foreigners and multinational companies had already packed up and left Afghanistan. Going against the stream of foreigners fleeing the country was a group looking for “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunities: Chinese entrepreneurs. Despite the ongoing unrest, an economic crisis and United Nations’ concerns over human rights, more Chinese citizens are joining the country’s “gold rush“. Once a small minority, Chinese nationals now make up Afghanistan’s biggest group of expatriates. With exclusive access to leading Chinese investors, 101 East investigates their growing influence across Afghanistan’s business and media sectors.
