Chinese state media celebrated the third anniversary of Taliban conquest of Afghanistan on Wednesday with friendly state media coverage claiming the country has finally found “relative peace” – but condemning U.S. President Joe Biden for leaving a “mess” in his wake.
The Taliban, a jihadist terrorist organization that governed Afghanistan in the 1990s, returned to power on August 15, 2021, storming Kabul and sending the U.S.-backed government of the country at the time fleeing without a fight. The Taliban had agreed to a deal with Washington, brokered under former President Donald Trump, that would have seen the last American forces leave the country for the first time in 20 years by May 1, 2021, in exchange for the Taliban cutting ties with other terrorist groups and not attacking American troops.

Biden violated that agreement, extending the 20-year war in the country and prompting the Taliban to launch tens of thousands of attacks on the weakened Afghan armed forces, which no longer exist. While Biden had announced plans to abandon Afghanistan by September, he evacuated the military hastily a month earlier as a result of the Taliban’s success. A study published by the office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) in February 2023 found that Biden abandoned at least $7.2 billion worth of American military equipment to the Taliban.
The Taliban celebrated the third anniversary of imposing its repressive version of sharia onto the Afghan population on Tuesday with a massive parade at the former Bagram American air base, parading American-made vehicles before an audience that reportedly included Chinese diplomats:
CGTN, a Chinese state television network, covered the parade favorably.
