I do wonder how Chinese relations with the Taliban will be. On one hand pretty sure China is going to want to trade with Afghanistan and have access to the trillions of dollars of untapped mineral wealth there. And on the other hand, I do wonder how Taliban will view China having millions of muslims in concentration camps in a region that borders Afghanistan. Taliban aren't exactly some crazy jihadi terrorists looking to export their views on the rest of the world, so they might not even give a shit- but they do share a small border with China.

@847badgerfan 

I know you love the new remodeled condo, but.............

It may be a tiny shack on an island, but it could be your tiny shack on an island. Right now, Sea Shell Key, also known as "Pretty Joe Rock," is currently on the market in the Florida Keys.

Located at 1 Pretty Joe Rock, in Marathon, the private, quarter-of-an-acre island is currently used as a vacation rental, and was once featured on HGTV's "Buying the Beach."  The 1,006-square-foot home comes with two-bedrooms and two-bathrooms, as well as three decks, an easement for access and parking, a deep water dock, and zero neighbors.

The island is also but fully capable of building pretty much whatever you want on it, since it's connected with shore electricity, and city water.

Pretty Joe Rock is currently asking $2,500,000 and the listing agent is Gidget Jackson of Re/Max Realty Group.

I'm not in a condo. House.

Hard pass on the island house. Not my thing - and too much money for that.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

I'm the guy in a condo, maybe the only one here, a rather odd condo on three levels.

The Taliban are going to need money from somewhere, but I'm not sure mining minerals is going to fly.  It's one thing to mine ore, and another to get it shipped somewhere it can be processed.

I don't know how practicable that is over the next few years anyway.

The Chinese won't let anything stop them from securing near-global-monopolies on critical raw materials.  

Whatever scruples the USA might have, China isn't bothered with.
