At this point US military involvement is out of the question. If they get cash for minerals from Xi, they might get to some welfare state condition similar to Saudi with plenty of repression but at least some prosperity to show for it. Might be preferable to their current state.

They are making solar panels in Afghanistan now with technology imported from China.

If Afghanistan is left alone it can develop and progress. When the modern Saudi state started out a 100 years ago it was basically like Afghanistan. And this is it now https://youtu.be/FC0bl2PObW4
