CCP's Global Times Says Afghanistan Now, Taiwan Next
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-controlled Global Times published an article not-so-subtly warning Taiwan that they may very soon suffer the fate of terrorist-overrun Afghanistan.
The CCP met with an important Taliban leader just after meeting with the American deputy secretary of state (I am in fact betting the CCP is somehow involved with the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan). And now a Chinese state-controlled outlet is practically threatening Taiwan with Afghanistan’s fate.
The Global Times (in a typical Marxist move of accusing the enemy of one’s own conduct) accused, “it's not the first time the US has abandoned its allies and the so-called alliances, which are made use of only as chess pieces in Washington's global strategy.” The outlet further said:
“. . .the failure of the US in Afghanistan should serve as a warning to the secessionists in the island, who have to understand that they cannot count on Washington, as Afghanistan is not the first place where the US abandoned its allies, nor will it be the last, experts warned.
The aftermath of its failure in Afghanistan will further weigh on the Biden administration, as it is still struggling to contain the COVID-19 epidemic, which will put the US government in an awkward position not only at home but also overseas, as the total defeat of the US has dealt a fatal blow to Biden's political career and the Democrats' credibility, Li Haidong, a professor at the Institute of International Relations of the China Foreign Affairs University, told the Global Times on Monday.
‘The US' fleeing action is a warning to the Taiwan secessionists, or rather, a forecast,’ Li said. . .The US retreat from Afghanistan has taught the island of Taiwan an important lesson, that is, the cross-Straits relations must be resolved by Taiwan itself, as the US may choose to abandon the island at any time according to its own core interests, Chang Ya-chung, a Taipei-based political scientist and member of the Kuomintang, told the Global Times on Monday.
Chang also emphasized that in face of the crisis, both the mainland and the island should keep in mind that we should not try to seek the answer from the past, but to find a way out in the future.”
