Asia Times: Is China ready to bail out the US in Afghanistan? Washington needs to swallow its pride and hubris and secure Beijing’s help to get Americans safely out of Kabul

Asia Times: Is China ready to bail out the US in Afghanistan? Washington needs to swallow its pride and hubris and secure Beijing’s help to get Americans safely out of Kabul 亞洲時報：中國準備好在阿富汗救助美國了嗎？ 華盛頓需要放下自負和狂妄自大，確保北京幫助美國人安全離開喀布爾. By GEORGE KOO AUGUST 20, 2021

The appalling images of desperate Afghans losing their grip and falling to their death as planes take off from Kabul Airport evokes the memories of the panic evacuation from the rooftop of the American embassy in Saigon some 46 years earlier.

This is yet another stain on America’s reputation. To lessen the trauma of the humiliating rush for the emergency exit as seen by world opinion, it will be crucial for President Joe Biden’s administration to arrange for the orderly departure of the Americans remaining in Afghanistan and not leave them stranded.

And, just as important, there are tens of thousands of Afghans who have provided loyal services to the Americans forces and have been promised visas to emigrate to the US, and are now waiting for safe passage out of Afghanistan.

Not all wishing to depart are gathered in Kabul or at the international airport. Many are simply caught unprepared by the sudden collapse of the US-backed government. Obviously, only with the consent and willing cooperation of the Taliban, now in control of the country, can the remaining Afghans and Americans be assembled and safely conveyed to departing planes.

It has been reported that US Secretary of State Tony Blinken contacted his counterparts in Russia and China as the debacle at the Kabul airport was unfolding. What Blinken said to Sergey Lavrov, Russia’s foreign minister, and Wang Yi, foreign minister for China, has not been made public.

But if Blinken was hoping to salvage the reputation of the Biden administration, he probably would have had to swallow some of the American hubris and ask for assistance in intervening with the Taliban on America’s behalf.

China as intermediary for the US

Both China and Russia have kept open their embassies in Afghanistan and maintained diplomatic relations with the Taliban. Just recently, the Taliban even sent a delegation to Beijing to shore up their bilateral relations. The message was that the Taliban would like Afghanistan to become a part of the Belt and Road Initiative and welcome Chinese investments.

In turn, China has expressed interest in enlarging its presence but needs to see a secured country and the assurance of the safety of Chinese nationals working in Afghanistan. And, of course, the Taliban should not permit the use of Afghanistan as a staging ground for the East Turkestan Islamic Movement and allow the mostly ethnic Uighur terrorists to enter China and wreak havoc there.

It’s no small irony that the world’s mightiest military power cannot exert its will on a tribal Islamic militant group and must rely on a third party to intercede on America’s behalf. Arguably, China is in the best position to persuade the Taliban to ensure safe passage for the people wishing to leave, and thus save Uncle Sam from the lingering embarrassment of a panic-stricken retreat.

The war in Afghanistan over 20 years has cost Washington the average of US$300 million per day. Perhaps China might suggest to the Biden administration that the US transfer the savings of some of that daily expenditure to the Taliban as a form of “departure head tax” to facilitate smooth exits.

Surely, Afghanistan is merely the latest evidence that the American mission of nation-building around the world and replicating democracies after its own image is nothing more than a fool’s errand and a pipe dream.

Follies of nation building

Even if the denizens inside the Washington Beltway fail to see the folly of decades of futility, the rest of world is increasingly aware of the risks of signing on to be a US ally. When Washington’s next bumbling leads to another crisis, the American assurance that Uncle Sam has their back will be shown as meaningless.

Yet the latest US secretary of the air force, Frank Kendall, wants to refocus American weapons using advanced technology to “scare” China. Can’t even beat the Taliban but still wants to scare China. What is he smoking?

In previous commentaries in Asia Times, I have unabashedly promoted the idea that the US needs to find ways to work with China rather seeking to win the unwinnable zero-sum rivalry. Perhaps the folks in Washington are just too focused on building military might and can’t think of any other approach with China.

First, it’s important to recognize that China does not want to compete with the US, especially in the development of weapons. Each advance the US makes, China is obliged to match and develop an effective counter. Each effective counter gives the US justification to invest in the next state-of-the-art weapon to kill and destroy. This is an endless march to disaster.

Rather than sending soldiers, China sends construction engineers to help countries on the Belt and Road build their infrastructure. The US does not have the resources to compete and should not. China makes friends with its BRI but not at the expense of America. Economic development in the countries that China assist is good for everybody.

Afghanistan is just one situation where collaboration with China is beneficial. There are many other global challenges on which the US needs to work with China such as climate change, stopping the Covid epidemic, cyber hacking, counterterrorism, drug and human trafficking and many others. Without mutual trust, the two countries cannot work effectively together.

Steps to collaboration with China

I would like to propose some sensible steps in the direction of getting along with China.

American business leaders have been clamoring for the Biden administration to restart trade negotiations with Beijing and remove the tariffs on imports from China. Biden should begin in all due haste and stop the open wound to American farmers and consumers caused by the tariff war.

The detention of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver has been an embarrassment for Canada and an unwarranted source of tension between China and the US along with Canada. Biden should take the initiative and promptly remove the request for extradition before the presiding Canadian judge dismisses the case. This good-faith gesture would do wonders for the relations among the three countries.

Basically, former president Donald Trump’s MAGA (Make America Great Again) foreign policy has been an unmitigated disaster to America’s credibility and prestige. Rather than blindly following the policies of his predecessor, Biden needs to order a thorough review and think deeply on what’s really good for America.

Rather than trying to persuade the rest of the world to be more like us Americans, we badly need to fix our seriously flawed democracy. We allow politicians to turn vaccinations and wearing a facial mask, which should be a public health issue, into a political issue. Some politicians, including ex-president Trump, treat the US constitution as nothing more than a doormat for their muddy shoes.

Are these characteristics of a model democracy worthy of worldwide adoration and respect?

Is China ready to bail out the US in Afghanistan?

從前，香港讓人稱譽的特質，除了蓬勃的經濟金融，還有井然的社會秩序和市民素質。

不過，一場由美國民主基金會支持的黑暴再加一股瘟疫，讓香港人的底牌都現形了。最近看了幾組數字，多少反映這城市人民素質已是斷崖式滑落。

為幫補疫情下的低迷經濟，財爺宣佈每人派5000元消費劵。登記只開始了兩星期，全港700多萬人口，就已有超過610萬人登記。

有錢派香港人從來不執輸，身份證號碼、電話號碼忽然間都不是私隱，「掃」個「安心出行」都怕被人監控的香港人，有著數就什麼也不怕了。

反觀另一個數字：免費打疫苗，就顯得拉牛上樹了。2月開始政府提供免費疫苗接種至今，打了半年，才得133萬人打齊兩針，還是靠商家送樓送金送錢等誘因才成事。

在香港打疫苗是優越得無話可說的，免費、方便，注射站梗有一間喺左近，還有得揀科興還是復必泰，外加抽獎，這種待遇，全世界，哪裡找？

朋友Paul哥移民泰國幾十年，生活優哉悠哉，打Golf、養狗、湊孫、嚐美食，一直是我們羨慕的對象，但今天，卻輪到他羨慕我們。

Paul哥說，要在泰國打疫苗，私人診所兩針盛惠100美元。好彩他有先見之明，全家上下加工人司機一早去付費打針，因為在泰國政府登記6月打疫苗的市民，到現在7月下旬仍未有針打，主要因為疫苗不夠，疫苗接種由延期變了無了期。

泰國朱拉隆功大學主任醫生席拉瓦(Thiravat Hemachudha)日前在臉書貼出他任職醫院門外的照片，數十名戴著口罩的民眾坐在醫院外漏夜等床位。原來，染疫進院，並不是必然的事，當香港人怕被捉去隔離營的時候，其實好多國家醫療系統的崩潰已去到市民染疫就只能躲在家自生自滅的地步。

想想，有機會被捉去隔離營、方艙醫院，原來是一件幸福的事。

7月2日，泰國就有一名84歲老翁從曼谷拉差裡威區(Ratchathewi)一棟樓房上一躍而下，結束生命，原來這老翁有個57歲確診女兒，因等不到病床，已死在家中床上。

還有一名確診者陳屍家中沙發旁，身邊遺下一包食物。家人說，從死狀看，他是從床上爬起來取食物時猝死的。

泰國曾經是香港人趨之若鶩的後花園，但一場瘟疫，把所有美好破滅，截至昨天，泰國確診個案已突破42萬，每日病例過萬，但接種兩針疫苗的人口僅4.9%，接種率落後於鄰近國家。內閣高官紛紛確診，包括泰國交通部長、公共關係廳廳長、鐵路局局長，一半內閣成員在家居家辦公，政府幾近癱瘓。

不必看太遠，就看看我們最熟悉的泰國吧，如果身處香港的你仍未有身在福中的感覺，仍在自私地觀望，不檢測也不打針，只怕有日悲劇襲來，大家搶得多多消費劵都冇命享。

I am glad that the letter to Biden has jumped out in front of the impending US intelligence apparatus’ Lab Leak report. I am encouraged that API leadership is addressing the connection between the demonization of China and domestic anti-Asian Hate.

The letter rightfully confronts the issues of the Lab Leak narrative and DOJ/FBI/Christopher Wray China Initiative. Thank you for that!

The letter to Biden says: “And we need you to forcefully and repeatedly condemn anti-China and anti-AAPI rhetoric each and every time this topic comes up…”

The objective reality is that Biden’s neo-con foreign policy team of Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Kurt Campbell, Avril Haynes, Victoria Nuland is the SOURCE of “anti-China rhetoric”.

At some point AA leadership will have to address the uncomfortable reality that Biden and Dems have intensified the baseless China-bashing narrative. It was easy and politically-correct to blame Trump, but it may be difficult and unpalatable to objectively assign responsibility by those who are invested in Biden, Pelosi and the Dems.

The Biden letter constitutes progress in AAPI discourse in that it addresses collateral damage from the Lab Leak narrative.

The McCarthy Red Scare hysteria of the Fifties saw the persecution of Chinese-Americans. Given this historical precedent, the current New Red Scare needs to be challenged by API leadership.

Thank you for the progress in API leadership discourse. I hope for continued progress. I hope for even more courage from API leaders to acknowledge and challenge the McCarthyite New Red Scare hysteria.

Please speak out loudly against the China-bashing hysteria!

A 1981 advertisement in the “Soldier of Fortune Magazine”. It certainty didn’t age well. Many people are ignorant about US’s support for radical Islamic militants (who are the forerunners of Taliban today) in the 1980s. It was America who destroyed the more secular Afghanistan and fostered Islamic radicals to fight the Soviet Union’s presence in the region. They called them “Freedom Fighters” then. 1981 年的一則廣告。 它肯定不會老化。 許多人不知道美國在 1980 年代支持激進的伊斯蘭激進分子（他們是今天塔利班的前身）。 是美國摧毀了更為世俗的阿富汗並培養了伊斯蘭激進分子來對抗蘇聯在該地區的存在。 他們當時稱他們為“自由戰士”。
