Hi professor Huffman. After I have watch this video, I feel that it will be very useful for Thai people. For this reason, I would like to ask for a permission of translating this video into Thai language and sharing this video for Thai people. Thank you
The Taliban already attacked the site multiple times - they have fire rockets into the concession area, close to where the workers are housed. It became so dangerous that most of the Chinese workers were pulled out for a while and only returned when increased presence of Afghan security forces made the area safer. I think MCC should revise their plans and abandon the open pit excavation plan they initially had.
I know that the site is safe for now until at least the end of 2014. This is because MCC (the company owning the concession) has adopted a wait-and-see attitude - they do not want to sink more money building infrastructure and start excavations if Afghanistan is going to slide into war again after the ISAF leaves. However, if open fighting does occur, then the site might come under threat from the Taliban, since Logar was a Taliban stronghold (Aynak even had Al-Qaeda training camps).
Buddha is not China's god per se - Buddhism is simply one of the many streams of religious thought that has prominence in Chinese culture. At the core, most Chinese are Confucians. They might then be Buddhists, while also practicing other religions such as Taoism, and then on top of that monotheistic religions such as Christianity or (more rarely) Islam. I think one reason for the lack of objection from Chinese is that they are not informed about it - the state media there does not report it.
its true the Taliban are bad people and without them our country could be a better place but after finding out the Chinese are going to do this to my home i want to protect it with force. if that makes me apart of Taliban so be it.
Save Mes Aynak.
Thank you So much. ผมคนไทยซึ้งใจพวกคุณ
