I would love to see China stomp the fuck out of these idiots

You realize that the only way China could do it would be to wipe out the entire province, right?

They'd poison the Arab world against them.

Otherwise they'll have less success than the west did in Afghanistan, because their military has no experience. Other than losing fights with sticks to the Indian military.

Also China want copper from Afghanistan and are negotiating with the Taliban there as part of the same scheme.

I see the options here: The people lose, regardless of outcome.
