China holds US responsible for Afghanistan schoolgirl deaths

[tower9]

China is just following the US example of placing blame wherever it can.

The US should’ve never been in Afghanistan to start with tbh.

 

[PradoTLC]

amazing ain't it!! a mere 2,500 American troops kept peace in Afghanistan and the nation went straight to hell in a hand basket as soon as we left. We so stronk

incorrect

You had a peace deal with Taliban which kept the peace.

last I checked you are not fulfilling those terms

Yes please go educate the Chinese and tell them there is no link between US troops leaving and escalation of violence.

Probably all those innocent kids killed are a good enough proof. US has a history of barbarism. Example, those wonderful things US did in Vietnam.

So no proof. Figures. Probably pulled the allegation from a swab collection orifice. Nice whataboutery, BTW, but irrelevant here.

 

[beijingwalker]

Both China and US know that they will never really go to war. Judging from this premise.

 

[Vapnope]

I don't think US or any country for that matter can choose anything for a country, it will always be people of the country who would make or break a system. Unfortunately, Afghans are still fighting amongst each other and there seems nothing that US or any country do for that matter. The poor people would continue to bleed by all kind of militants.

World: The U.S.A. (deliberatly) created this mess and their last act (deliberatly) made it even worse. They should stop fucking up peoples lives and start acting responsible.
NSA bots: See, people acknowledge the world needs us!
NSA bots: But whatabout my U.S. regime propanda lies projecting the crimes the U.S. regime commits on others!?

Well, Afghanistan is your neighbour, so you guys should also contribute in their security then. Just staying outside as an observer and hoping the U.S/west will keep doing the work for you is not a sound strategy i suppose. You can only control what you do. Not what others do. So guess it's time the Chinese got more involved as well? Or just keep out of it and hope for the best(i.e Uygurs extremists wont use the country as a staging outpost for attacks in China). Guess sometimes policy of non-interference is not always sustainable.

Damned if you do and damned if you don’t. US can’t do anything right is some people's eyes.

Whatever.

Does China wants to be a superpower? Here is an opportunity. It should send its troops to Afghanistan and face the risks US troops have been experiencing for 20-years. Bring body bags with you because you will need them.

That scenario could happen if there is a 9/11 style attack on mainland China emanating from that region.

Well, it seems they forget that with great power comes great responsibilities. So they will have to learn that one way or another at one point in time. Since the U.S/West is already withdrawing from Afghanistan completely, it's an open field now what is going to happen there next and the vacuum that will be left there. So if the Chinese government is nervous about what this will mean for their Uygurs extremists fighters using the country as a sanctuary/staging ground for attacks in China(ETIM has been present in Afghanistan for over a decades now though their presence was drastically reduced after U.S intervention/occupation and toppling of the Taliban), then they should get involved themselves there and see what they can do to limit that. Can't be hoping for others to do the work for them. lol Time to get their hands dirty as well.

Why China fears US withdrawal from Afghanistan
US troop drawdown may revive East Turkestan Islamic Movement and its dormant Uighur insurgency in Xinjiang

PESHAWAR – America’s troop withdrawal from Afghanistan and the Taliban’s possible resumption of at least partial power in Kabul will have far-reaching implications for China and Pakistan, both of which aim to play key roles in the country’s post-war future.
China has publicly endorsed America’s plan, which will see 2,500 of 4,500 troops withdrawn by mid-January and all soldiers by mid-year, but has cautioned that an unorganized US departure could open the way for militants to re-establish Afghanistan as a regional hotbed of Islamic terror.
Last November, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian urged the US to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan in an “orderly and responsible” manner.
That official comment spoke to Chinese concerns that Afghanistan, which shares a land border with China’s restive Xinjiang province, could in particular become a breeding ground for Uighur Muslim militants.
China often points to the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM), also known as the Turkistan Islamic Movement, to justify its harsh crackdown on Uighurs in Xinjiang. ETIM is an Islamic extremist group founded by Uighur jihadists in Western China that seeks to create an independent East Turkestan state to replace China’s Xinjiang.


In December, Afghanistan’s National Directorate of Security wound up a Chinese spy ring and detained at least 10 Chinese nationals on espionage charges, according to news reports citing the directorate’ chief Ahmad Zia Saraj.

Reports said the Afghan government believed the Chinese spies were attempting to create a fake (ETIM) module in Afghanistan to entrap real ETIM operatives. The Chinese nationals were allowed to fly back to China reportedly under pressure from Beijing.

China has at least historic cause to be concerned. Soon after the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, China, the European Union, US, UK, UN and other states designated the ETIM as a terrorist organization due to its association with al Qaeda.

China has claimed that the ETIM committed over 200 acts of terrorism between 1990-2001, resulting in 162 deaths and 440 injuries. Those included a spate of attacks ahead of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, including an assault on paramilitary troops in Kashgar that killed 17 officers.

U.S. Identifies Vast Mineral Riches in Afghanistan

WASHINGTON The United States has discovered nearly $1 trillion in untapped mineral deposits in Afghanistan, far beyond any previously known reserves and enough to fundamentally alter the Afghan economy and perhaps the Afghan war itself, according to senior American government officials.

so will west support these "freedom fighters" like they did with ISIS, Afgan Mujhaddeen, TTP, etc

 

[beijingwalker]

What US withdrawl means for Pakistan? Pakistan faces the biggest cross border terrorist threat from Afghanistan.

 

[Beidou2020]

US is 100% to blame for this.

Afghanistan is no threat to China and China never invaded Afghanistan like US did. So what's your point?
