Commentary
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that China’s involvement in Afghanistan could be a good thing. His July 29 utterances fly in the face of all available evidence and are supremely naive, or worse. Instead of using his position to represent U.S. values and provide real information to the global public, Blinken persists in weaving his fantasies of cooperation with the totalitarian Chinese communist regime.
