Well, according to google you're an advertising agency. Not much of a step-up from insurance.

I wouldn't recommend that the Chinese invade Afghanistan. It's never a good idea. Elphy Bey should have stuck to croquet.

Invading Afghanistan is not exactly the most... optimistic of campaigns (as history tells us... repeatedly). China, however, has one advantage. They have enough soldiers to simply win through migration.
