Recently, senior officials of the US government have stated that whether to withdraw troops from Afghanistan will be finalized according to the needs of the situation. In other words, the United States cannot ensure compliance with the agreement reached with the Taliban in Doha in February last year that all U.S. troops would withdraw from Afghanistan before May 1, 2021. In addition, these days some western entities have accused China’s Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region of forced labor and will suspend the purchase of cotton from this area. Is there any connection between these two seemingly unconnected pieces of news? As far as I am concerned, they all have the same purpose that to mess up Xinjiang and mess up China. Now let me shed light on them.
Is it true that the United States station troops in Afghanistan aim to fight terrorists? Actually plenty of politicians and commentators in Afghanistan have clearly given negative answers and detailed analyses in advance. Next I would present three more reasons to tell you why there is a negative answer. First, the United States wants to contain China’s “Belt and Road” initiative and maintain a military deterrent against China. Second, it wants to monitor Pakistan which equipped with nuclear power. Third, it is easy to create chaos in Xinjiang through secret means and then mess up China. Obviously, the United States and other western countries repeatedly make use of Xinjiang to slander China and finally create ethnic conflicts, incite hatred and undermine unity in China and prevent this country’s economic and social development. From this perspective, the topic about cotton from Xinjiang and the U.S. military in Afghanistan shoulder a so-called common task. Maybe some people would say that this is just the author’s conjecture. However, the above three reasons for the United States’ presence in Afghanistan are not my analysis or judgment, but have been stated by Mr. Lawrence Wilkerson in a public speech a few years ago. He has served as the head of the office of former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell for a long time.
As for how the cotton picked in Xinjiang, I just need to provide the data briefly. The planting area of machine-picked cotton accounts for nearly 70% of the total cotton planting area, and more than 95% of the cotton planting area in northern part of Xinjiang have been fully mechanized. Artificial assistance during the harvest season would be a great opportunity for many farmworkers to increase their income. In fact, it is no matter whether there is evidence or not. Both the cotton issue and the education issue are merely an excuse to attack China. Actually who will benefit from messing up China and who will be harmed? I think it is easy to tell for the friends of Afghanistan, who are China’s close neighbors. In order to promote its so-called universal values, the United States has been to Iraq, Syria, and also to Afghanistan. But let’s look back at what kind of life the people of these three countries are enduring. In my opinion, to export turmoil is what the United States is actually good at.
Maybe we don’t have enough wisdom to predict the future, but when we look back at history, it is not difficult to find out that the blood of some so-called civilized developed countries is full of colonialism and racism. How many countries have been fooled by them? We must heighten our vigilance about this.
