China is considering deploying military personnel and economic development officials to Bagram airfield, perhaps the single-most prominent symbol of the 20-year U.S. military presence in Afghanistan.

The Chinese military is currently conducting a feasibility study about the effect of sending workers, soldiers and other staff related to its foreign economic investment program known as the Belt and Road Initiative…to Bagram…

A spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry on Tuesday issued a carefully crafted denial of plans for an imminent takeover of the military airfield…

However, the current consideration in Beijing is not for any pending movements, rather a potential deployment as long as two years from now, the source says…

In addition to expanding its regional influence, Beijing’s potential plan for Bagram would also amount to a devastating blow to the image of the U.S….

Beijing has already recognized the geostrategic importance of Bagram overtly. Its state media almost immediately hopped on the sudden and surprise U.S. departure from the key logistics hub in July, sending a video crew…to document the aftermath of what it described as a…”humiliating defeat.”

China’s latest consideration matches well-worn practices it has perfected in recent years to quietly expand its economic and military influence beyond its borders under the guise of infrastructure investment projects…

And it has employed similar tactics in neighboring Pakistan, with which it has bolstered a new security and intelligence-sharing arrangement in recent years…The Taliban’s revelation Tuesday that its newly formed government will include as interior minister Sirajuddin Haqqani, the scion of the notorious Pakistan-based Haqqani Network terrorist group for whom the FBI is offering a $10 million reward, has further bolstered Islamabad’s position as a conduit between China and its ambitions in Afghanistan…

Seemingly in anticipation of the U.S.-backed government’s collapse, China in August began making preparations to embrace the Taliban as the rightful government in Kabul…It, along with Russia…abstained from voting on a…U.N. Security Council resolution calling on the Taliban to…allow safe passage out of Afghanistan for those who wish to flee…

There must be reasoning behind Mr. Biden’s actions. However, it becomes more and more apparent there were serious back room deals going on from July.
I wonder what was promised since it had to be more exotic than virgins and paradise to give an entire country with fully equipped military to those already getting comfortable at a base meedimg only occupation.
What is strange also is no other elite is mentioned. So did that train leave or was it already spoken for?
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho…
Can we follow suit??
