The Taliban, now seen as the new rulers of the "graveyard of empires," Afghanistan, has long been supported by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which is often seen as the head of the "axis of evil" and the global mafia. However, recent tensions between this close partnership have been publicly escalating, drawing significant attention.

China is not doing so well lately.

--- "China is not doing so well lately."

And Islam when it rules is no good neighbor to any other culture, so between a Chinese command economy and lying Islam, this was never going to work out.

Meanwhile, Kabul is using up its water table into a drought and those earthquakes cause the "students" of Islam to plead with the West for help. And China's energy requirements are insatiable. Tick tock.

“Tick tock.”

And the Lefty world media will cry aloud, "humanitarian crisis." And the Muslim world of oil-rich countries will sit by with the halal version of buttered popcorn.

Indeed.

Great entertainment.

Same has been happening in Africa, especially Angola.

The ChiComs are quickly wearing out their welcome.

One “weird trick” would be to provoke China to refuse to work with the Taliban until the women of Afghanistan are allowed to work outside the house and go back to school after the 6th grade. Oh, and to be able to even speak out loud outside the home with out the Culture Police beating them with rocks and straps and fists. Maybe China will be the economic force next willing to push Afghanistan into something past the 7th century. Heck knows, we Americans tried. Rules of engagement always held us back.

I remember after the US withdrawal there was talk about China moving in to take their place, and I was waiting for this day. There was never any doubt to me that NO ONE could trust the Taliban, and the Afghans in general.
