Once again the Left, the Taliban, and China are on the same page.
Chinese leader Xi Jinping issued strong backing for Afghanistan at a regional conference Thursday, while making no mention of human rights abuses by the country’s Taliban leaders. China’s foreign minister, meanwhile, led calls for the U.S. to unfreeze Afghan assets held abroad and end sanctions on the government.
By Afghanistan, Xi means the Taliban. China hopes to profit from Afghanistan’s energy and mining assets. But it still wants us to do the heavy lifting.
China’s Foreign Ministry said the sides agreed that the U.S. and NATO should “earnestly assume the primary responsibility for the reconstruction and development of Afghanistan, and return the property of the Afghan people as soon as possible,” in a reference to the $7 billion in frozen Afghan assets held by the U.S.
How nice of the Communists and the Jihadists to agree that we should “assume the primary responsibility for the reconstruction and development of Afghanistan” on behalf of the terrorists so that China can focus on developing mining and energy.
It might look a little tacky if Chinese foreign workers keep having to step over corpses, but it’s not like they aren’t used to it.
In his comments, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi continued Beijing’s attacks on the U.S. over its handling of Afghanistan, saying that as the “initiator of Afghanistan’s predicament,” Washington should “take the major responsibility,” end its unilateral sanctions on the country and unconditionally return Afghanistan’s state assets.
Sure. As soon as Wang returns Hong Kong. And Tibet.
Neither Xi or Wang gave specifics on future Chinese assistance
Oh, they did. They want us to provide it. The only question is whether our leaders are corrupt and stupid enough to do it.

The Marxists and the Muslims are working together to create a better world – a world without religion where everybody submits to Islam. Yes, all the world’s problems will be solved once they get rid of the United States with a little help from the United States. Ha.

They are! Which is why it would be better if the dollar quickly stops being the world’s reserve currency, so that they can no longer borrow the way they have been

So things will be better if totalitarian nations ditch the dollar?

That China’s foreign minister has made calls for the U.S. to unfreeze Afghan assets held abroad and end sanctions on the government. will have the outcome, sooner or later , of Joe Biden’s complying to the demands of Red China.
The reasons for this are threefold, First, Biden is a very weak in character and will “cave in “to what China wants.
Second, Biden very much favors Socialism and thus likes the professed Marxism that Communist China claims to stand for.
Third, is that Biden is greedy and corrupt . So much so he accepts bribes “gifts” from the tyrants of Red China to do for them whatever they desire him to do.
Concerning the third point , it’s written in the Bible “The wicked accept bribes in secret to pervert the course of justice.” Proverbs 17:23. [N.I.V.]
Walter Sieruk says
This Communist China and Taliban alliance is but one part of what is know as the “Red/Green alliance.” As odd and strange as this phenomenon is, even more so considering the harsh brutal ways the Communist in Power in China treat the Muslims in that land that Communist – Islamic alliance still holds together, especially when in comes to standing together against the United States.
Maybe by the old shallow simplistic idea of “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

China Demands U.S. Rebuild Afghanistan So It Can Make Money
……………
This is ludicrous. Apart from a tiny bit of progress from the Soviets, if there was any building of Afghanistan at all it was done by the US and Coalition. If any of this needs rebuilding, it is because the Taliban destroyed it, not us.
The US *should* tell China to take a hike–but under Biden, they may kowtow.
OLD GUY says
If China promotes it or sells it I’am against it. Our government and Corporations are selling us out for profit, thats the only thing these leaders know.
joan_of_ark2005 says
Of course, none of this will be useful….AND China is supporting the Taliban as the legit government anyway.
