KABUL, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) -- Eying China's vast market, Afghan craftsman Bustan Barati has decided to increase the capacity of his small carpet-weaving workshop in a slum on the outskirts of his country's capital of Kabul.

Barati's workshop started exporting carpets to China in 2013. "So far, we have sold about 5,000 meters of carpets to the Chinese market, which means 30 percent of our products are sold there."
