China's state media mocks US Afghanistan withdrawal saying Taliban takeover was 'even more smooth' than the presidential transition

A representative of Chinese state media mocked the U.S.'s withdrawal from Afghanistan, saying the Taliban takeover was smoother than the presidential transition earlier this year.

Hu Xijin, an editor of the state-produced Global Times, sent out a tweet Sunday night.

'Chinese netizens joked that the power transition in Afghanistan is even more smooth than presidential transition in the US,' Hu wrote.

'What a joke. In Kabul today, the new government takeover was even more stable than when the US changed presidents,' Weibo user Chen Zhen wrote.

The presidential transition between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden was the rockiest in American history with Trump refusing to concede the election, and instead fed his supporters baseless claims that the election had been stolen from him.

That resulted in a mob of Trump supporters breaking into the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6, when Congress was in session to ceremonially certify Biden's win.

Trump did leave the White House on inauguration day, January 20, but continues to push the so-called 'big lie.'

Taiwan's democratic government should look to Afghanistan as an example and rejoin mainland China, a communist nation, because it wouldn't have the help of the United States.

'After the fall of the Kabul regime, the Taiwan authorities must be trembling. Don’t look forward to the US to protect them,'

Be a damn shame if the communist leaders and generals lost all their mansions and luxury cars.

Might be because the Taliban had more popular support in Afghanistan than did puppet emperor Joe Xiden in America . . .

It’s funny. Our deep state is a freaking joke. Hunt down 600 people for using the congressional bathroom or evacuated Afghanistan like a retarded 5 year old. Or both.

If we get pissed it appears they will shit themselves.

They do have a point. I doubt anyone in Afghanistan thinks the Taliban won by massive cheating (as in war crimes). Don’t get me wrong, there will be many crimes, and soon, but their initial victory was FAR CLEANER than any election in the US after we let BLM count the votes.

Add The Philippines, Singapore and even Australia to countries who can be taken by China whenever it wants to.

He’s got a point. :-) Botched election and botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.
