I hope China will be able to do more to help.
Its impossible for China alone to send enough aid for 30 million starving people. Its too much, and I doubt it is even possible from a logistical point of view.

Every bit helps, right?
Is it really a logistical issue though? From what I understand, this is happening due to sanctions and seizing of Afghan assets.
If it's a payment issue, China should be able to work something out.

So what happens next year when the same number if not more Afghans need food aid again?
The fundamental problem is that Afghanistan doesn’t have anything sustainable to offer China in terms of fair economic exchange.
Any mineral rights sold would be immediately claimed as exploitation and subject to terrorist attack by US and Indian sponsored terrorists.
Without a sustainable economic basis for trade, China cannot keep feeding 30m Afghans for free forever. And the moment China stops providing aid, the west will blame all famine deaths in Afghanistan thereafter on ‘Chinese cruelty’.
China stepping in is America’s wet dream so they can easily shift their own guilt and crimes onto China’s shoulders.
China can and has offered humanitarian aid. But it is not China’s responsibility to make good America’s deliberately created humanitarian disaster in Afghanistan. And with American weaponising everything under the sun against China. It would be dangerous for China to do more.
Dutton is publicly voicing concerns on the welfare of a Chinese woman being "raped" and nothing on an Australian resident allegedly been sexually assaulted by his royal highness Prince Andrew.
Maybe he should leave this #Me Too matters to the Minister for Women.
I am not a big fan of Macron but he is right about European sovereignity:
European (EU + UK) population is 4 times Russia's
The European economy is 13 times bigger than Russia in nominal and 5 times bigger in PPP.
The European military spending is 5 times Russia's. It is still 70-80% more in PPP.
European technology is significantly more advanced overall.
As you can see, in all metrics you first look to gauge the strength of nation or alliance, Europe is incomparably superior. But we have the USA and Russia negotiating the future of Ukraine (Very important for Europe, not important at all for the USA) without Europe. Am I the only one seeing a huge inconsistency here? How can I object when people claim European countries are a bunch of American vassals after this?

It is not an accident.
The Russians designed it well.
They want to show to the Europeans that they are the junior partner in the whole NATO, and the real decision maker is the Capitol.
Europe doing things that has 0 or positive outcome for the USA, but negative for Europe.
This is one of the long stadning complain of Russia, the Eruopeans behave like the idiots about security issues.
Like the migrant crisis, made be the USA, suffered by the EU.
