China’s foreign ministry criticised Washington’s withdrawal and outlined several key demands for the Biden administration.

In a press conference, the ministry’s spokesperson Wang says America must own up to its failures… adding “the US started the war on Afghanistan and this is the reason for public livelihood and economic difficulty in the nation”.

China evidently wants to ensure that Biden doesn’t leave chaos behind… and instead “works with the international community to provide both economic and humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan”.

Particularly, Wang says Beijing wants to see America help “maintain the normal operations of the government, maintain social stability, stop the currency depreciation and inflation, and let Afghanistan go on the path of peace”.

China has also declared that it will support the “peaceful reconstruction of Afghanistan on the basis of respecting the wishes and demands” of the nation and its people.

Meanwhile, just hours prior to Biden’s address, China’s deputy UN representative also called for an investigation into the killing of civilians by US forces in Afghanistan over the past 20 years.

This is an indication that troubled relations between Beijing and Washington are alive and well.
