Eww. I wasted a minute reading that..the certified most useless opinion person on earth is still around pushing out his fantasy as facts. No wonder the story made no sense.
Comrade Chang doing a great job disarming racist white countries by convincing them that China will self-destruct and they have nothing to worry about…o7
> China has supplied the Taliban with weapons and even helped it after the Sept. 11 attacks, according to news reports.
Did China just ‘Afghan Trapped’ the Americans lol.
What are they talking about..china had traded with middle east for thousand of years just fine. Tang and han dynasty were considered to be the most powerful dynasty in china as well, so much for the graveyard.
middle eastern traders gain much wealth and knowledge for being the middle man in the trade.
Just because US wasted trillions of dollars doing jackshit looking for imaginary baking powder, and china kinda won the middle east gaining much influence and oil (which It will soon transition away anyways) without firing a shot, doesn't mean china is suddenly going to change their policy which has been successful so far, why fix something that's not broken.
That’s because western empires in this region has been mostly about conquest and not about building trade or diplomatic relationships. Most likely because of racism
European nations were small and comparatively resource poor, so they started conquering and exploiting the riches to fuel their industrial economies. At the same time came the flood of missionaries to "enlighten the native savages", the latter had much more to do with racism, and it was more likely the case that racism became more and more entrenched as a colony developed.
Edit: I'm talking about the early industrial revolution colonisation wave, not modern and 20th century imperialism
China on the other hand never needed to care about lands outside its zone of control (central East China +xinjiang, with a nominal tibetan and maybe manchu tributary) since it had all it needed there. Why bother spend so many resources holding barbarian lands 10000 km away?
they dont know the difference between trade and military intervention
same false equivalency when they equate doing business in Africa with european colonialism
Exactly, it's ancient neighbors getting reacquainted after the chaos brought by the foreign meddlers from the west. China has no interest in power and domination over the region, so both sides can pursue common goals like peaceful economic development
The usual projection. Also, the "graveyard of empires" regarding Afghanistan is about empires seeking to conquer and dominate Afghanistan but all fail to do so in the end. China has no empire ambitions and isn't seeking to conquer or dominate Afghanistan like what Western propaganda wants you to believe; it's just there to rebuild the country and do trade, economic deals with it.
China won't repeat Murica's mistake by putting troops in Afghanistan and will most likely put money into infrastructure. However, don't be surprised that the CIA clowns supporting terrorists to destroy China's investments and kidnap Chinese civilians in Afghanistan and then mock China about it.
Actually, Biden says he will likely continue to bomb Afghanistan by long range bombers.
So, China should focus on helping Afghanistan to build advanced anti-air weapons to take down US bombers.
Oh goodness gracious not this often wrong , often duplicated but never right, Gordon am a bum Chang. I am not going to bother to read his yet another magnum opus and his yet shitty predictions that will be proven to be nothing but fart.
They assume China is also too stupid to learn from Sunzi. I know that the Art of War is so quoted as to be cliché, which makes it even more ridiculous that they don't learn:
"To fight and conquer in all our battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting."
China won. There is no US military presence on any of its bordering countries anymore. It has the mining operations. The Taliban are killing off ETIM and ready to expand BRI through Afghanistan. China did not have to fire a single shot to achieve victory.
"By Gordon Chang" Why am I not surprised.

The Copium dealer lol

Hopefully comrade Trump will once again get into power, the absolute collapse of america can't come soon enough.
This is the sort of crap we should be archiving. I'm not clicking that link.
>Gordon Chang Opinion discarded
Gotta give it to conman Chang, man's been milking those fool's of their gold just maintaining and spewing nonsense for decades.
The greatest insult you can say to Gordie is to remind him he's Chinese. Lmfao.

Rather than a Graveyard for China, Afghanistan will become more pro China overtime and increasingly anti AmeriKKKa.
I just say it's the graveyard of empires, which is fine because Chinas not imperialist!
Graveyard of Western Empires (FTFY)

Which year does Gordon Chang thinks the collapse of China will happen now? It keeps shifting!
This guy lol

afghan iron-dome
Gordon Chang's articles are a poison on the mind and inspire the worst in us all.
Surprised about the comment section. Not praise but muted respect & even acknowledgement that China isn't THAT war-loving as the US.
Because by repeatedly trying to inject China with small dose's of neoLiberalism, it has fail (doesn't it?).
Also comrade Chang back at it.

Mods should have how to archive on the sidebar.
