Chinese State Media Says Afghanistan a Lesson for Taiwan on How U.S. Abandons Allies

China is wasting no time seizing the opportunity to capitalize on the dumpster fire that is Afghanistan right now. They have put their state run media puppets at "The Global Times" to work blasting Taiwan with prophecies of doom if they rely on the U.S. for support.

The paper's editorial began by describing how the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan caused the Taliban's forces to quickly seize control in what it deemed "a heavy blow to the credibility and reliability of the U.S."

The Times then cited what it called similar situations, such as the fall of Saigon during the end of the Vietnam War in 1975 when the U.S. evacuated its citizens from the city. The tabloid also wrote of how the U.S. "abandoned their allies, the Kurds," when it withdrew troops from northern Syria in 2019.

They didn't stop there of course. They also stated that "abandoning allies to protect U.S. interests is an inherent flaw that has been deeply rooted in the U.S. since the founding of the country" citing France as an early example.

Take note that this article comes from Newsweek who is no doubt more than happy to lock-step with the Chinese tabloid The Global Times, but that doesn't make it less impactful on a country like Taiwan who has been ogled at and salivated over by China for a long time.

Unlike many, I don't blame Joe Biden alone for this circus. Joe couldn't find his nether regions with both hands. He isn't competent enough to plan anything like this. Joe is just the fall guy for those pulling his strings every day. Maybe this is partly why Nancy is allegedly stepping down by the mid-terms.

Lest we forget the CIA's business ventures and their part in this mess...

I wonder if Fentanyl production will go up in China?

No surprise that message was directed at Taiwan.

With Joe in office...their days are now numbered.

And they are right. I don't even trust our government. Biden works for China, and now we have China, Russia and the Taliban joining forces, what can go wrong? Most Americans don't realize that we are at war. And our government is now under communist control. China is the puppet master pulling Joes strings.

Taiwan is already a democracy and we don't need to try and get them to implement it like the corrupt and ambivalent Afghani government. They'd fight for themselves if China decided to go full retard.

This is true and likely one of the reasons China hasn't gone full retard...yet. But they've got to be a bit uncomfortable right now.

Naw, we are practicing the “art of war” let your enemy think you are weak when you are strong.

But then again Biden is pretty weak, ugh we’re F’ed.

We're constantly holding fleet operations in the China Sea, I don't see us letting China attack/invade Taiwan.

I hope you're right about that. After the last 18 months, I'm not taking much for granted any more.

”A heavy blow to the credibility and reliability of the U.S."

China is correct In that regard.

However Afghanistan and Taiwan are very different places and situations. Notice China is currently using words, versus thinking they can now make a real move.

CCP wants to own Taiwan.
CCP already owns the Biden administration.

CCP gets Taiwan.

Nice and simple for those that can not understand what is going on, reference guide for dummies, maybe now some understand why Biden is called China biden, thanks to his mentally challenge son and his ties to china.

Yep, China got the bets president in the US, one that can be blackmailed.

You can't blackmail the willing. You just pay them off.

He did got paid, very nicely, something that it should be calls for impeachment for that, but is been sweep under the rug, when they went after coumo to cover up with his scandal.

Sometimes I wonder how stupid the government thinks Americans are.

Opium production may go up, but fentanyl is a synthetic opioid.

I also find it strange that all the people think opium production would increase under the Taliban, when the Taliban had almost eradicated opium production in the country. It was the take over by the US that brought the poppy fields back to the region.

Thanks. I learned something today. I thought it was made both naturally and synthetically.

Not under the Taliban, but with China's involvement...

Yeah, okay. You people operate on the most bizarre levels sometimes. Hunter banging hookers and smoking crack, which has already come out, isn't going to alter our war planning.
