Daily Mail: Chinese military aircraft settled in Afghan Bagram

At the Afghan military base in Bagram, abandoned by the Americans back in July, electricity appeared and military aircraft landed. According to the British edition of the Daily Mail, the Chinese have settled at the airbase.

The publication, citing its own sources, writes that military aircraft have appeared at the Bagram airbase, and the power supply has also been restored. At the same time, according to unconfirmed reports, it may be the Chinese who occupied the former stronghold of the United States.

Other sources confirm that the airbase has received electricity and is functioning again. At the same time, it is noted that the Taliban * (the movement is banned in Russia as a terrorist movement) was hardly able to restore the airbase's functionality, especially to lift heavy military transport aircraft into the air. At the same time, a lot of evidence of several military aircraft taking off and landing at the airbase appeared on social networks.

Nearly two months after the withdrawal of foreign troops from #Afghanistan, Bagram Air Base has apparently reactivated. It is not clear who activated this site. The new government, however, has denied reports of Chinese presence at the base.

The Daily Mail speculates that the Chinese military is stationed at the airbase, especially since the director of the Chinese program at the Stimson Research Institute, Yong Sung, recently said that China would "gladly" occupy Bagram and seize any equipment left over from the United States. Also, remember that the Taliban * called China their "best friend" in the world.

Recall that the airbase in Bagram was built by the Soviet army, after which it went to the Americans, who operated it for 20 years. In July of this year, the military contingent of the base left Bagram under cover of night, effectively leaving it to be plundered.

15 years ago I said that the Chinese auto industry would flood the world with its products, no one believed. ha ha.
I will not dissuade you, but China is now the world leader, its growth can only be compared with the USSR during the Stalinist industrialization.
China is practically self-sufficient, and in terms of human resources, in terms of minerals, and what they do not have will be sold and imposed on them, Force S. is a vivid example to you, and in terms of industrial and economic potential. The yuan is traded on stock exchanges on a par with the leading currencies, our Central Bank transferred part of the money to the yuan.
China currently has the most advanced technology.
I continue to assert that now in China there is a period of advanced Leninist NEP and the CPC will build developed socialism, be sure.

If this is true, then my assumptions turned out to be correct and we found the author of the ISIS project. The seizure of Afgan is very similar to the scenario of the failed seizure of Iraq. And media coverage exceeding the level of slippers is now understandable. The PRC tried to knock Iraq out from under the Yankees, by proxy. Their style, absolute indiscriminateness in means and complete disregard for civilian victims, they do not really value their inhabitants either, almost 2 billion natural ants.
Only the ISIS project failed due to the timely reaction of the Russian Federation (in Syria) and the United States (in Iraq), and the Chinese found a new ward, and this time the card fell into suit. The Yankees have been knocked out of the region of interest to the PRC, and they seem to be out of business.
Of course, the technology is not new, the USSR and the USA used it for the entire Cold War, but there was no such scope and coordination at that time.

Is this official information or is it about aircraft models?

If the sides of the Chinese production are fixed, then it may be Pakistan, allied to the Taliban, actively buying them. And it makes no sense to send the most perfect available to Afghanistan - the same Pakistani F-16s are redundant.

Or maybe China itself. With their planes.

In general, we will find out soon. The whole world buys equipment from manufacturers, which can be counted on the fingers ... Therefore, this news may have different development.

If this is so, then this is a great success of Chinese diplomacy, through Pakistan it is possible to increase pressure on the Indians and reach the Indian Ocean by land, ensure the safety of the new Silk Road route through Afghanistan, localize Islamic extremism on the distant approaches, the concept of Chinese soft power in action

[Most polite]

For India, the rise to power of the Taliban turned out to be one of the biggest foreign policy failures !!
During the 2020 Afghanistan conference last year, Indian Foreign Minister Subramanyam Jaishankar said that no part of Afghanistan was left “unaffected” by “more than 400 projects” that India has implemented in all 34 provinces of the country. Bilateral trade between the two countries has also grown significantly over the years, reaching $ 1,5 billion in 2019-2020.
India, which views the Taliban as a confidant of its arch rival Pakistan, maintained close ties with the Northern Alliance, which defeated the Afghan militant in 2001 with the help of US-led NATO forces.

I would like to believe that not the Taliban, so others will be true to their oath not to let any foreign troops ... And they will perpetrate a pogrom at the base, dragging China into the war. The harder it is for China, the better for Russia.

[75 Sergey]

If only not with Tajikistan, otherwise they will become.

[Basarev]

Only in one case will I agree to Tajikistan (basically I am also against it, like you): if China occupies it with lightning speed, excluding any escape from there. Millions of illiterate Tajiks are not needed in Russia.

[Korsar4]

There are enough educated people in Tajikistan and those who relate well to us. Even hypothetically, why scatter the imperial (albeit in the past) lands?

[Basarev]

This is the whole point. Lands are needed, Tajiks are not needed. And if China is stupid enough to explode there too, the best option for further development of events (after the mentioned instant occupation), I see the broadest partisanship - on the part of both the Taliban and the Tajiks, after which, having suffered monstrous losses, China will finally leave the fairly thinned land. As for the educated you mentioned, they should be accepted, really. But only really high-class (lawyers-economists are not needed, they themselves have a surplus) and only on a personal basis (a crowd of relatives who know only tandoor are not needed).

[Blackmokona]

Hehe, China is not the USSR or the West. He will let the entire population under the knife and populate it with the Chinese. And she won't even blink an eye. Guerrilla warfare does not work for an enemy who is actively committing genocide. (Let me remind you that the Reich had only plans for the genocide of the Slavs. And during the war, they were massively recruited into the administration, and into the troops, etc.)

[Basarev]

To be honest, this is the best option. And China will specifically get dirty in the eyes of the world community, no one will forgive such a jamb for sure, and the territory will be freed from unnecessary people. Only in full growth does a new task arise: to oust China from there as soon as it finishes. Because not only Tajiks, Chinese are also not needed.

[75 Sergey]

Well, probably there is not much left.
Has China recognized the Taliban?

[Owl]

The benefits that the PRC will receive from economic contacts with the Taliban are constantly hushed up: the development of minerals, their export to Pakistan, the fictitious purchase of minerals from private Pakistani companies and the further use of valuable raw materials, either for its own industry or for sale. And the PRC "does not seem to have any formal contact with the Taliban."

[Suraikin.Aleksandr]

Information that China apparently settled on the basis of Bagram is published by the English Daily Mail. Apparently with the explicit purpose of spoiling China's reputation among the EU countries that are trying to maintain good relations with Beijing!
Whatever US military secrets Bagram keeps, it is hard to believe that China will go for this, such serious reputational losses! The Taliban are still an international terrorist organization!
If it really turns out that this is China, it will first turn into serious reputational, and then economic losses.
The AUKUS bloc will win a serious ideological victory !!!
Most likely they are really Pakistanis!

[gsev]

Quote: Suraikin.Aleksandr

If it really turns out that this is China, it will first turn into serious reputational, and then economic losses.

The PRC in Afghanistan has a rather large project for the development of a copper deposit. Afghanistan is a sales market for industrial products of the PRC. China needs transportation and energy infrastructure to profit from its copper project. At one time, the USSR refused to develop a copper ore deposit on the terms offered by the Afghans. China agreed to roughly the same terms. If the PRC comes to Afghanistan, it will limit the development of the Pakistan-Turkey-Kazakh-Azerbaijani union. In principle, the arrival of the PRC in India is also a boon for India. Surely the Taliban are interested in normal economic relations with India. Yes, and Russia should try to return to normal relations with Afghanistan, taking advantage of the flight of the State Department and the CIA from this country. It's just that our Foreign Ministry should strive to normalize Tajik-Afghan relations. Now Russia does not need aggravation between the Pashtuns on the one hand and the Tajiks or Iran on the other. For this, one can listen to reproaches from Europe and even accept new sanctions.

[Suraikin.Aleksandr]

Apparently you do not understand how important the EU is for China. Especially against the backdrop of deteriorating relations with the United States, which actually turned into a state of cold war!
The EU market is the second in importance and size after the United States! Do you think China is just doing billions of dollars in projects to develop transport infrastructure between China and the EU. The branch from China to Pakistan through Afghanistan is also a transport branch to quickly deliver Chinese goods to the EU countries. If Europe starts to turn its back on China, then all these infrastructure projects will go down the drain, moreover, the Chinese will not be able to sell their goods to the EU, the market will close for them.
Benefits from projects with the participation of Afghanistan in the distant future, the Taliban have only been in power for two months and no one knows whether they will be able to keep it in the future, they have already begun to actively oppress the national minorities of Tajiks, Uzbeks, Hazaras. In such conditions, investing in Afghanistan is too risky. In a good way, the Chinese will wait until the situation stabilizes and the Taliban will begin to fulfill at least something of the promised!

[gsev]

Quote: Suraikin.Aleksandr

Apparently you do not understand how important the EU is for China.

If the PRC begins to bend politically due to fear of losing the market, then it will lose this market and the benefits from selling in other markets as well. An example before your eyes. Russia's attempts to play by European rules provoked Europe to put pressure on Russia in the area of ​​gas trade. As soon as we went to break and freeze this trade, the pressure eased. Due to the increased gas price, it will probably be more difficult for Ukraine to finance the murders of Russians in Donbass and plan genocide in Crimea. Yes, and Bulgaria and the Czech Republic at the same prices will be problematic to arm Russia's opponents in Syria and Ukraine. On the other hand, the PRC receives a region with practically untouched resources. As a country that did not introduce occupation troops, it will receive privileges. In addition, the Chinese may have just brought food and equipment for their copper mine and concentrator. The Taliban Afghans themselves will be able to protect the Chinese more cheaply and reliably. If Europe or the United States tries to harm the Chinese, then most likely they will do it with the help of the Khorosani branch of ISIS. In addition, the European margin on the sale of chemical products from China, for example, to Russia, may be 2-4 times higher than the cost of these products in China. The question is, will Pakistan allow China to enter Afghanistan? Now Pakistani intelligence has a chance to make Afghanistan obedient. And the PRC will have to work hard to establish direct cooperation with Afghanistan. The route through Tajikistan is closed due to the outbreak of hostilities in Panjshir. The countries of Central Asia listen to the opinion of Turkey, which they see as a counterweight to Russia. And Pakistan and Turkey are effectively building an alliance with an eye on both Yakutia and East Turkestan with Manchuria.

[Sakos]

Tajikistan does not listen to the views of Turkey. Not included in the Turkic Union. The rest is true. Khorasan ISIS introduced Pakistan in order to tarnish the historical state of Tajiks - Khorasan (Khuroson) in advance.

[Suraikin.Aleksandr]

That is, before that they always bowed before the same USA and would suddenly stop? The tradition is fresh and hard to believe, looking at how Trump pressed them, and China only responded sluggishly in response, and so as not to accidentally exacerbate the trade war started by Trump!

You need to tell that China partially supports the anti-Crimean sanctions
China:
Recommended state-owned enterprises not to cooperate with Crimean companies, and also not to participate in any agreements or projects in Crimea
In September 2015, due to sanctions, she refused to receive an official Russian delegation from Crimea.
Chinese banks de facto joined the sanctions against Russia and began to evade lending. In addition, many Russians were forced to close accounts in Chinese banks and transfer funds to other places.
Commercial credit institutions of the PRC began to delay transfers to the accounts of Russian banks or refuse to make payments altogether, and transactions that were not even included in the sanctions lists of companies were blocked.
This is such a bold and independent foreign policy of the PRC!
And do you still believe in a strong independent foreign policy of the PRC, rather than caring first of all about your wallet?

[akarfoxhound]

No need to tryndet, Bagram was built not by ours, but by the British, even under the Shah. Our Bagram base has only expanded

[Suraikin.Aleksandr]

Indian press writes that Pakistanis launched Bagram! The planes seen on Bagram are also Pakistani. The Pakistanis are planning to use Bagram for military support of the Taliban, in particular, to deploy a military hospital there!
A military delegation from China was indeed there, but visited it secretly, on transport planes of the Pakistani Air Force!

Natura ablwrret vacuum (Nature abhors a vacuum). This is the fate of Afgan. Some left, others came.

Today's people have one thing on their minds, more likely to steal dough and dump it into the civilized world

[Sakos]

If you read the article (the link cited above), you will understand that all the troubles of Afghanistan are from Pakistan.

[AB]

Yeah, all my life everyone around is to blame, but not the people of the country where this is happening. For Ukraine, Europe and the United States, Russia is to blame for all mortal sins, and do you really believe in this? Afghanistan has its own problems. Who removed King Mohammed Zahir Shah in 1973? Afghan army men led by General Mohammed Daoud, by the way, he was a cousin of Zahir Shah and the husband of his sister. Daud was inclined to flirt with the USSR to such an extent that PDPA members helped him in the coup. For most Afghans, the coup was about nothing and was accepted as a squabble in the royal family. Well, there was one, there was another. Accordingly, no significant protests against the new regime followed. It was from this coup that everything collapsed. The reign of Zahir Shah is still considered the Golden Age in Afghanistan. And where is Pakistan.

[Sakos]

The above facts are undeniable, but your interpretations are not entirely correct, since you are silent about the Pakistan factor. It should be clear to everyone that the problems of Afghanistan with Pakistan are the Durand line since 1893, the Afghans still disagree with the border. Chaos and a governed Afghanistan is a guarantee of border recognition. The second point is Kashmir. Pakistan is much weaker than India, in the event of a war over Kashmir, Afghanistan will be a field of retreat for Pakistan, a training ground for a war against India. Now, briefly about Daud in 1973 and how it relates to Pakistan:
https://aftershock.news/?q=node/987938&full
excerpt: "One of the controversial figures who advocated the rights of the Pashtuns of Pakistan was Muhammad Daud Khan. With his appointment in 1953 as Prime Minister of the country, tensions in Afghanistan's relations with Pakistan intensified. 10-year tenure of M. Daud - Khan as prime minister (1953-1963) passed under the sign of constant conflict with Pakistan, and without any "achievements" for Afghanistan. Such a policy led to a break in relations between the two countries; through the efforts of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Turkey.

Under M. Daudkhan, Afghanistan was forced to turn to the Soviet Union in order to modernize the army, purchase weapons and develop infrastructure, because Western countries did not approve of the country's policy of that time on the issue of Pashtunistan.

After the overthrow of the monarchy and the coming to power of M. Daud in 1973, the issue of Pashtunistan became a stumbling block in the normalization of relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan. After coming to power in a new capacity, M. Daud announced the complete determination of his government to fight for the rights of the Pashtuns and Baluchis on the other side of the “Durand Line”. In November 1973, he sent a letter to the UN Secretary General, in which he accused Pakistan of "non-observance of the rights of the Pashtuns and Baluchis" [12].

Considering the tough position of M. Daud regarding Pashtunistan and the "Durand line", the government of Z.A. Bhutto decided to support the Afghan Islamists who emigrated to Pakistan in their struggle against the republican regime. As it turned out later, 40 Afghan Islamists, who were undergoing military training in one of the military camps in Peshawar, in 1975 raised an unsuccessful armed uprising against M. Daoud in several regions of Afghanistan. "

[AB]

since 1893, Afghans still disagree with the border

Yes, a long time ago, they put everything on the disagreement of Afghanistan. Since 1955, they have not been asked for consent. Pakistan, which at that time was supervised by the United States, presented with a fact and Daoud, being the head of government, wiped himself out. And it's not about the boundaries, but in domestic politics... Having proclaimed Afghanistan a Republic, Daoud immediately began to tighten the screws. The Parliament and the Supreme Court were dissolved, and the activities of political parties were banned. The state got into the economy. Land reform was carried out. Taken from the rich and given to the peasants for ransom... Many were nationalized private companies, including all private banks... He began to purge the state apparatus from the left and democrats. By the way, he cleaned them all out, replacing the professionals with the right-wing clumsy loyalists. That's when the collapse of Afghanistan began.

[Sakos]

These facts are not denied. They completely influenced the development. But Pakistan is concerned about the border issue, it is not settled. About 50 million Pashtuns want autonomy and the border is controversial. Despite the fact that the packs have a signed border treaty. In my opinion, received from the bloody Najib.
