China may 'gloat' about Afghanistan now, but the Taliban's rise comes with problems, says professor
The fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban and the ensuing chaos presents a "complicated situation" for China, a Cornell professor told CNBC.
"At one level, what is happening in Afghanistan might be considered a win for China because it suggests that the U.S. has a lot of weaknesses in terms of its intelligence … the way it deploys its massive military arsenal and economic power, sometimes to not very productive ends," Eswar Prasad, a professor of trade policy at Cornell University in New York told CNBC "America's "long and unproductive involvement" in Afghanistan has been a "black eye" for U.S.
"This will certainly knock the U.S. down a peg or two in the eyes of the rest of the world, although it is far from clear that the outcome in Afghanistan will by itself ... drive any country deeper into China's economic and political embrace," he said in a separate email.when the Islamist militant group seized the capital of Kabul more than a week ago. The Taliban have made rapid advances across the country since the U.S.
I think Beijing is likely to gloat in the short run — but who knows, it could have some problems on its hands in the long run.

He said the movement had not agreed to an extension of the Aug. 31 deadline set by the United States to pull out of Afghanistan and wanted all evacuations to end by that date. He also denied reports that Taliban patrols were conducting house to house searches to find targets for reprisals, saying: 'We have forgotten everything in the past.'
