It’s a nice air base that will give China reach into the Middle East and it gives them another front against India in a future war.

They can get all that from Pakistan and with a more stable, less fanatical government too.

Hi.

You’re correct.

Djibouti

Nice little facility they got there.

5.56mm

Zactly....Hence their debt bombs and the world sees the leadership of those countries fleeing for their lives, at some point, headed to their villas in Dubai or homes in Europe with all the money they stole.

China isn’t sending in troops. No need to. Might be some engineers and a few others involved with that work, as supervisors. Security and labor will be provided by the well paid Taliban.

If it goes sideways for China, Oh Well. It’s happened to them before.

Whatever else, China only wants the Tallies to stop the flow and training of their Uygars and other minorities in combat arms.

I respectfully disagree with your assessment.

China isn't going into Afghanistan as an Enemy, they are going in as a Friend and Partner.

They value Human Life exactly the same as the Taliban do, as in they don't value it at all.

The Taliban will become China's version of Friends with Benefits. China won't be criticizing the Taliban for anything they will do, Beheadings, torture and subjugation of Women will go on without one word of condemnation from the Chinese.

China will move in and use it as a forward staging area for supply to Iran and an air base to threaten India proper. They will support the Taliban Emirate —they don’t care about how they treat women or girls. They can get along with Brutal despots (like themselves). Just like Putin has his Naval Base and air base in Syria. It makes perfect sense.

Unlike the US or the USSR, the PRC isn't going to make the mistake of trying to transform Afghanistan,

We just learned today there were actually George Floyd Murals in Kabul, painted by some "US based art group." If that doesn't scream out the arrogant, blind evangelical-like religion of the American Left and Fed.gov, I don't know what does.

Afghanistan will chew the CCP up like it has every other power. Just give it time.

China will say: "We have money and skill, you have the muscle - Let us form a partnership to run this mine, mill, or business, and we will both benefit." The Taliban 2.0 want this and China will be very cautious about every single project.

If China starts to get into regime-change or cultural supremacy (think gay pride or feminism) then yes, they will get eaten-up.

When China tries to collect their 'debt' due from moonites who don't believe in 'debt', the Taliban will slaughter the Chinese by the thousands...

That’s the point, they won’t.

Unlike our so called Leaders, the Chinese aren’t stupid.

Additionally, they would never hand over a fully operational Air Base to us or anyone else. The idiocy of Xiden will cost us dearly, far beyond what the Taliban have received from us.

They have already measured for the drapes.

I would bet that Hunter has already negotiated this deal and Joe got his 10%, which means it will more than likely come to fruition by Christmas.

Count on it. China wants all the minerals, most especially lithium.

I believe Biden gave China the base in Afghanistan per their contract (see first link) and may have plans to give China more bases.

I believe China Biden 'owes' China some US military bases , and that is why he gave them Baghram, all that military hardware, and it's why he's working to keep American hostages in Afghanistan. China owns Biden. Biden owes China.

Installing cities of Afghanis within US military bases in America may be the only way he can cede homeland military bases to China. He'll just 'accidentally' lose control of them and they'd have hardware and bases. Wondering where these bases are located - China is 'choosy'. There is NO reason to put the enemy within the gates.

Is Biden going to give China 8 bases in US now receiving Afghan 'Refugees'?

Given the racist nature of the Chinese, it would not be surprising if they do give into imperial ambitions and if nothing else, the ensuing hijinks will be fun to watch.

A few Chinese corpses artfully displayed by the talibums will be entertaining to the rest of the world, especially Taiwan, India and Japan.
