China Says After Afghanistan, There's NO Way U.S. Will Be Able To Defend Taiwan...
With US troops leaving Afghanistan amongst the Taliban takeover, other countries are taking notice. Some are viewing the United States’ decision to pull their soldiers as a sign that they will abandon their allies. Amongst those expressing concern are China, who’s questioning whether or not the US will be able to defend Taiwan...
A Global Times article –a Chinese state-owned media outlet– questioned what would happen should a war break out: “Once a cross-Straits war breaks out while the mainland seizes the island with forces, the US would have to have a much greater determination than it had for Afghanistan, Syria, and Vietnam if it wants to interfere.”

As a result, the DPP will quickly surrender. https://t.co/ZUrZmcsSWf pic.twitter.com/wFG4vrHbTo
