I wonder how much the Taliban could look away. The thing with fundamentalism is, a lot of it is hypocrisy, saying some things have to be the way they want it, but ignoring other things. Just look at Christian fundies ignoring Jesus' "be kind to each other" teachings. A quick google says the Quran also says women should be educated and respected, but apparently in the Taliban's mind women are chattel.

So, this new Talibanistan is not a religion-based country, it's a thuggery-based country abusing religion to justify whatever sick thing they want. So I wonder how much of that Chinese money is needed for them to erase away their concerns about the treatment of Muslims in Xinjiang.
