'Military' planes are spotted landing at Bagram airbase in Afghanistan after it was claimed China is 'considering' sending soldiers to ex US airbase to strengthen ties with Taliban
2021-10-03
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • There are unconfirmed reports that Chinese military planes have landed at Bagram airbase in Afghanistan

  • New images from Afghanistan show that power has been restored to the base and multiple sources alleged military planes arrived at the former US stronghold

  • It comes after Yun Sun, Director of the China Program at Stimson Research Center, said China would be 'eager' to occupy the airfield and seize any equipment left over by the US

  • The move would be an attempt to strengthen ties with the Taliban and embarrass America
