China's strategy in Afghanistan.

Actually, for the Chinese public it was "excitement" "elation" because of you-know-what, but despite that tweet has been deleted(I wonder why), comments on it can still be found and ironically, those from Taiwan and the US using terms such as "dangerously wrong" regarding that John Cornyn's tweet.

They do have forces in Taiwan imho but hiding it but hiding it securely from chinese intelligence agency. China should send more intelligence agents into Taiwan because if they failed to spot 30k Americans in a bunker somewhere in Taiwan it could hurt their credibility but not impossible to miss it any intelligence agency can miss such things especially if they are hitting in under-ground bunkers and tunnels etc etc

That totally depends on how the Taliban 2.0 handles themselves in this world...personally, I'm still running impressions based on Taliban 1.0. If they're smarter this time round they should know the hard part only begins now...

Never pay attention to their vicious propaganda which they are still doing again and again but they will fatigue in the coming weeks and get their throats dry and just move on.. They were doing the same thing to China recently demonizing them and even posting ugly pictures of chinese ahtletes in the Tokyo olyampics. We know their ways of doing things better than anyone else so their propaganda doesn't get to us easily or move us even an inch

really?
Where you gonna hide 30,000 armed americans in taiwan? I doubt the US military has 30,000 han Chinese americans to blend into taiwanese society and secondly, american soldiers are shit at blending in; you'll notice they're around when sexual assaults are reported along with murders and unrest.

Or are they hiding in a bunker, like the army of anubis from The Mummy?

Kind of related.
It seems US powered army doesnt last long anywhere

Maliki began to remove the capable, apolitical officers that the United States had painstakingly put in place throughout the Iraqi command structure

Interesting background info on Baladar, the co-founder of Taliban from 2019 video.
He saved Karzai once, and is still highly regarded by Karzai as peacemaker.
He was put in prison by Pakistan in 2010 ( despite protest from Karzai) and released in October 2018 at the request of US special envoy Khalilzad.

To be fair, the remanent of ROC (aka Taiwan) lasted 71 years and counting...

Only because PRC China was poor and weak, and US was strong and rich for the past 70 years.

Now the table has turned, can anyone see ROC Taiwan lasting another 70 years? The day will come when the cost of maintaining this "status quo" for the U.S. outweighs the benefits, and hay press to. Saigon part 3 or Kabul part 2.

We must also remember that the ROC was founded in China by Sun Yat-sen, not the USA. That is why its influence is quite strong among the Chinese communities around the globe. Sun Yat-sen is revered by Chinese around the world, even in the PRC and the CPC itself. It is because of this Chinese-origin that the ROC in Taiwan can last for so long. Taiwan also was practically governed by the ROC for most of its existence.

The idea of an independent Taiwan on the other hand only emerge relatively recently. It is an American-led idea imposed on Taiwan, with the DPP being the political machine to drive this movement. If the DPP turns the ROC Taiwan into an independent 'Taiwan', it is both unnatural and will be inherently unstable. What is Taiwan without its Chinese roots? It'll just become a soul-less East Asian 'democratic' state, subservient to the US. Just like the US-installed Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.

The former Islamic Republic of Afghanistan collapsed so spectacularly because it just doesn't have popular support. It is viewed as corrupted, alien to Afghanistan, and a foreign puppet. Their troops don't even know what they were fighting for. One side is fighting for a US-collaborator puppet regime. While the other, to liberate Afghanistan from foreign colonialism. These soldiers have friends and families who were regular Afghan citizens, so they were already demoralized long before the Taliban launched their offensive.

The same could happen in Taiwan if there is a war with China. One side is fighting to correct the wrongs of the Century of Humiliation on the Chinese nation. While the other is fighting to uphold the arbitrary values of 'freedom', 'democracy', and 'Taiwanese values'. All for a leader who cares more about the life and death of the POTUS's pet dog, than the lives of the Taiwanese people. Honestly, is this idea of 'Taiwanese values' worth defending?

Taiwanese Nationalism is nothing but Hoklo nativism gone mad. The only people that deserve an independent Taiwan are the Taiwanese natives. Ironically, they tend to be opposed to the concept because they rightfully see it nothing but Hoklo chauvinism.

Basically whenever an Americans tries to taunt China by bringing up Taiwan, I'm going to say "Maybe Taipei will last more than 6 hours compared to the fall of Kabul, another discarded condom (aka US 'ally')"


Because you and I both know US won't defend Taiwan given how it abandoned Afghanistan and South Vietnam. They will just Blame Taiwan for losing the will to fight.
