Axios news network quoted two senior Washington officials as saying that the United States has evidence that the Chinese government is trying to reward Afghan militants for attacking U.S. troops, and it is unknown when the incident actually occurred, probably after the United States and the political group Taliban reached a peace agreement in February this year, the officials stressed that there have been no casualties among U.S. troops in Afghanistan since then, and refused to disclose whether the Taliban was involved, only referring to “non-state elements.
The report also cited informed sources continued to say that the intelligence included in the presidential briefing on the 17th of this month, O’Brien personally reported to Trump, multiple departments are verifying the information, and last Tuesday (22) held a policy coordination committee meeting to discuss, and intelligence and defense personnel to study the protection measures for U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
The report said China’s role in Afghanistan is low-profile, all but arranging for Taliban officials to come to Beijing to discuss peace plans and promote an Afghan-led solution. Some scholars have pointed out that China’s provocative behavior in Afghanistan, such as offering bounties for attacks on U.S. troops, is inconsistent with its policy, and that Afghanistan is a rare area where China and the United States are still willing to cooperate, arguing that U.S. troops are withdrawing from the region and there is no need to put additional pressure on the U.S. side.
