Ahmad Zia Saraj, the head of Afghanistan’s National Directorate of Security, recently confirmed in parliament that a group of Chinese have been arrested on suspicion of spying in Kabul. It is reported that under pressure from Beijing, Afghanistan has allowed the men to return to China. According to Saraj, “Since this is a sensitive issue, I cannot disclose the details.”
Comprehensive international media news on January 6, Afghan officials confirmed the bust of Chinese spy organizations engaged in terrorist activities. After a media report late last year that Afghanistan had arrested 10 Chinese suspected of espionage and terrorist activities in Kabul, the Hindustan Times (Hindustan Times) reported on the same day that under pressure from Beijing, Afghan authorities had allowed the 10 Chinese suspected of espionage and terrorist activities to return to China, and they returned home on a special flight arranged by Chinese authorities on the 2nd.
The Hindustan Times previously said that the Afghan Vice President Shahrei (Amrullah Saleh), who was the head of Afghanistan’s Intelligence Bureau, was authorized by the president to meet with the Chinese ambassador to Afghanistan Wang Yu late last year to explain the detention of the 10 Chinese, asking Beijing to formally apologize and admit to violating international norms and betraying the trust of Kabul, the Afghan government may consider pardoning the 10 Chinese spies, otherwise criminal proceedings will continue. Otherwise, criminal proceedings would continue. But under pressure from Beijing, Afghanistan does not appear to have adhered to its original demand, and some analysts say it is also possible that the two sides may have made other private deals.
Among the 10 Chinese arrested were two Han Chinese, Li Yangyang and Sha Hung, and eight Uighurs, according to the sources.
