The U.S., Canada, and other NATO countries have done a lot of work building up Afghanistan over the past decade. Yet, China is the one rushing in to fill the void left by the departing Western powers. Today, we're asking what China sees for itself, and the region in its new Afghan presence.

Perhaps the Chinese are going to do the unthinkable and NOT invade Afghanistan or bomb it into submission. No-one has ever managed to survive there militarily for any significant length of time, perhaps it's time to play nice with the Afghans?

Why didn't they do when the Taliban was in charge? That because the Islamic theocracy didn't allow commerce.

We also didn't give a shit about shithole country, but then they attacked us. China gets attacked regularly by Muslims. When they do China hits them back with a sledgehammer.
