China has courted the Taliban for years : Comments

By Lionel Te-Chen Chiou, published 31/8/2021

On the next day after Kabul fell to the Taliban, Chinese state media began capitalizing on the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan to taunt Taiwan.

Beijing will seek to exploit Afghanistan’s mineral wealth, if it can. But, given that the US's $2 trillion input into Afghanistan didn’t work, it’s hard to see how China's extracting of $1 trillion in mineral wealth from Afghanistan will create a markedly better future for anyone but China. China doesn't give a damn about the sandpit or its people. Besides, it's pretty nutty of even China to think the Taliban can be dealt with like a normal government.

If that was ever the goal!? Then it has fallen flat on its bountiful belly with thunderous reverberations and extreme loss of face! And speaks to me of inmates running the asylum!?

Thanks to Biden’ abandonment of $US85 billions worth of military equipment, the Taliban is now better armed than the ADF.

This is what speaks the loudest: one of the first acts of the demented Biden administration was to reopen the recruiting of transvestites into the US military.

*… On Biden's first day …repeat, first day, in office on January 20, 2021, his press secretary, Jen Psaki, announced in a press conference that the President would soon reverse the government's ban on transgender people from serving openly in the military..*

This is what the Chinese are observing.

If more evidence of American madness was needed, stupid couldn’t become more stupid than this act of sabotage and self destruction.
