The hidden story here is this is a major strategic win for China who will


have more influence in the middle east with Afghanistan as their gateway to the region.
They are cozy with the Taliban and have plans for highways and other things through the country, as well as mining the huge reserves of rare earths in the area.

By the way, Germany and Japan weren't given a choice to get a long or not.
