DOES CHINA IS PAYING BITCOIN TO TALIBAN TO BUY WEAPONS?

Recent news from a USA spokesperson tells that the Chinese side is regularly sending huge amounts of BTC to the Taliban as said by a US spokesperson in an interview on last Saturday.There is another type of money laundering used to spread terrorism . On the other side, China is trying to create a different image of boycotting the crypto trade which can saw a dual face of xijinping.

Tracking flows of funding is often a matter of informed guesswork and the secretive militant organization does not publish accounts.

But BBC interviews carried out inside Afghanistan and abroad indicate the group is running a sophisticated financial network and taxation system to pay for insurgent operations.

The group's annual income from 2011 onwards was estimated to be $400m (£316m). But it is believed to have significantly increased in recent years and could be as high as $1.5bn.

The Afghan and United States governments have sought to constrain these networks. A little over a year ago the US army embarked on a new strategy of bombing drugs labs.

However, the Taliban's income derives from far more than just the drugs business. The UN in 2012 warned against the general perception that the poppy economy in Afghanistan is the main source of Taliban income.
