The US withdrawal from Afghanistan is still being targeted by ISIS-K, as indicated elsewhere.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m curious to find out what will come down that long road to land in China\u2019s lap. They\u2019re in a border squabble now with India, as it is. You\u2019d think that would keep them busy, wouldn\u2019t you?<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/08\/25\/cornell-professor-on-afghanistan-us-withdrawal-taliban-impact-on-china.html?__twitter_impression=true&recirc=taboolainternal<\/a><\/p>\n From the article:\u00a0 The fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban and the ensuing chaos present a \u201ccomplicated situation\u201d for China, a Cornell professor told CNBC.<\/p>\n \u201cAt one level, what is happening in Afghanistan might be considered a win for China because it suggests that the U.S. has a lot of weaknesses in terms of its intelligence \u2026 the way it deploys its massive military arsenal and economic power, sometimes to not very productive ends,\u201d Eswar Prasad, a professor of trade policy at Cornell University in New York told CNBC \u201cStreet Signs Asia<\/a>\u201d on Tuesday. \u2013 article<\/p>\n All China sees is raw materials that mean cash in the cash drawer. That\u2019s the short term. The long term doesn\u2019t mean anything to them. Being short-sighted is not a good idea, ever.<\/p>\n So if Beijing thinks it\u2019s all gonna be hunky-dory, I have a beat-up old phonograph I\u2019d like to sell them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The US withdrawal from Afghanistan is still being targeted by ISIS-K, as indicated elsewhere. https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/08\/30\/rockets-target-us-troops-as-afghanistan-withdrawal-in-final-stage.html Might … We’re Leaving, Mmmmkay?<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":653,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[430,301,296],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-117037","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-2020-election","category-afghanistan","category-china"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117037","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/653"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=117037"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117037\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":117038,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117037\/revisions\/117038"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=117037"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=117037"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=117037"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
