I predicted this from the outset amidst the usual cacophony of extraneous noise from the usual suspects.

Not all; Cypress, Nordberg, Archives and others thought otherwise.
can't make a silk purse from a sow's earNot all; Cypress, Nordberg, Archives and others thought otherwise.
except Waziristan. or Afghan, or maybe Yemen. in fact it's not like china to lift a hand to fight international terrorism..maybe they will as they rise in powerI tend to doubt it.....The Chinese have been very clear that the new world order does not contain terrorism.
China and the Rising Terrorist Threats in Africa: Time for U.S.-China Cooperation?

However, whether China’s interests in the security issues of Africa would translate into a cooperative relationship with the West (especially the U.S.) on counterterrorism remains to be seen. In fact, in China’s view, the rising terrorist threats in Africa actually create a rather zero-sum competition between China and the West for influence over African security affairs. The stakes countries have in Africa naturally lead to their enhanced security cooperation with African governments to protect their interests. For Beijing, this is a good opportunity to expand its participation in African security affairs, increase its political influence and reinforce Sino-Africa cooperation

You have failed to properly understand the situation.
https://nypost.com/2023/04/23/us-ta...ht-against-afghanistan-isis-affiliate-report/Afghanistan has devolved into a haven for ISIS terrorists since the precipitous US withdrawal in 2021 — but the US has found the new Taliban government an unlikely ally in the fight against the jihadists, a report said.
The Taliban — an Islamic fundamentalist group that seized power after the withdrawal — has been battling back against the progress of Islamic State-Khorasan, also known as ISIS-K, a senior US defense official told the Washington Post.
The dueling groups of religious fanatics are openly warring, the official said.
ISIS-K has assaulted ethnic minorities and government institutions, while the Taliban has retaliated by hitting Islamic State hideouts.
“I would never want to say that we had mortgaged our counterterrorism to a group like the Taliban, but it’s a fact that, operationally, they put pressure on ISIS-K,” the official told the Washington Post. “In a strange world, we have mutually beneficial objectives there.”
The Taliban will not tolerate terrorism...They promised the Chinese as they took power after America skedaddled.

ISIS using Afghanistan as terror base after US withdrawal, docs from alleged leaker Jack Teixeira reveal
https://nypost.com/2023/04/22/jack-teixeira-docs-isis-using-afghanistan-as-terror-base/
ISIS leaders in Afghanistan were at work coordinating nine terror plots in December 2022, the assessment relates.
By February, the tally had increased to 15.
“ISIS has been developing a cost-effective model for external operations that relies on resources from outside Afghanistan, operatives in target countries, and extensive facilitation networks,” the top-secret-labeled report reads.

What ever ISIS is in Afghanistan, and it is not at all clear that this is more than a handful of people, do not have Taliban support, the Taliban is hunting them.

Oh you can be sure that they are planning some ops on a 9/11 scale. Those idiots, especially Cypress, were moaning about the cost of an ongoing Afghan military presence. Yet that cost is miniscule compared to Ukraine!
