[HIGHLIGHTS] How an Afghan drug lord became China's man in Kabul

How an Afghan drug lord became China's man in Kabul. Bashir Noorzai was once serving a life sentence in the United States.

Now he is the key figure in the growing relationship between China and the Taliban. A “chain reaction of corruption” is going on in Afghanistan that benefits only a few. The Taliban's multi-billion dollar heroin production and export companies have dominated the global market for decades. The drug lord is close to many Taliban leaders - China is also taking advantage of this.
