The Chinese move rapidly into the vacuum created by the departing west, ignore Taliban atrocities, mine the place hollow and move on to the next puppet state
And that's where the new Chinese money comes in. China won't want to make the mistakes of the Russian incursion, nor the Western incursion because for all those years, they've been watching, planning and waiting for the failure of others to further their own objectives. That very same, new money will help influence Iran and Pakistan as well and in turn, the CCP will use that as leverage against the West, further weakening America, Europe and the traditional allies, Canada, NZ, Australia etc without a single battle being fought.Taliban can sit in government, but without playing nicely with the world, they will find it much harder to stay safe in their palaces.
It's often been said that the Chinese only want what's Chinese. What that could mean for us is within as little as 50 years, they'll be well onto their end game of controlling everything else that isn't.
