Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday spoke with his counterparts in China and Russia about the security situation in Afghanistan.
The calls come as both Beijing and Moscow have signaled an openness to recognizing and working with the Taliban, which over the weekend swiftly ousted the Western-backed government in Kabul.
Blinken spoke separately with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi about developments in Afghanistan, including the security situation and both countries' respective efforts to bring U.S. and Chinese citizens to safety, State Department spokesperson Ned Price said in a statement.

That means that biden checked with China and Russia before doing what he just did, and that he will recognize the taliban as legitimate government as soon as he can.

We are begging the Russians for help after the last 5 years of slander, false accusations and unjust sanctions levied against them
We are begging the Chinese for help after the Chi Coms bribed these same politicians and officers so generously to achieve exactly this desired outcome.
What are they thinking.

They would have to answer the phone first. My guess is there blocking his calls. Why should then bother to answer or hear anything that he has to say.
