Merit and fame are mostly poor and neutral, and disasters often arise from coincidence. On September 1st, three major events occurred in the world, which fully shows how turbulent the world we live in is, and how lucky we are to be born in China.
First, China's Foreign Ministry made a statement about the Taliban's imminent formation of a new government. Today, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin made a statement at a regular press conference on "whether China will recognize the new Afghan government", saying that Chairman Mao Zedong once said, "Afghanistan is a heroic country, and it has never yielded in history." China and Argentina are friendly countries, China does not want to harm Afghanistan, Afghanistan does not want to harm China, the two countries support each other." China will, as always, pursue a friendly policy for all Afghan people, respect Afghanistan's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, not interfere in Afghanistan's internal affairs, and continue to provide assistance within its capabilities for the early realization of peaceful reconstruction of Afghanistan.
A few days ago, an anonymous Taliban source revealed that the Taliban has held consultations with multiple forces in Afghanistan and is expected to announce the formation of a new government on September 3. Judging by the Taliban's grasp of the situation in Afghanistan, this information actually has considerable credibility. After the withdrawal of U.S. troops, it was time for Afghanistan to decide on its own new government. The United States overthrew the original Afghan government through the Afghan war and forcibly supported a pro-AMERICAN government by its own force, and now its fate is very clear. China has always not interfered in the internal affairs of other countries and has always hoped that "Afghans will rule Afghanistan", which is a completely different approach from the United States, and history has proved who is right and who is wrong.
Second, the Afghan anti-Taliban forces repelled the Taliban offensive. According to the latest Reuters report, a few days ago, the Afghan anti-Taliban armed forces spokesman Dashti said that the Taliban armed forces clashed with them in the Panjshir Valley, and the anti-Taliban successfully repelled the Taliban and made the Taliban pay the price of 8 deaths and at least 8 injuries.

It is reported that the current leader of the anti-Tajik armed forces is Ahmed Massoud, whose father is Ahmed Shah Masood, who has the reputation of "Afghan national hero" and "Panjhir lion". As the Taliban gradually occupied all of Afghanistan, Ahmed Massoud gathered the remnants of the Afghan government forces and launched a campaign against the Taliban in his native Panjahir province.

The victory of the anti-Tajikistan armed forces in the Panjshir Valley fully shows that the anti-Tajik armed forces are a hard bone, the Taliban will be quite difficult to gnaw down for a while and a half, and in the future, whether it is by means of war or peaceful means, the Taliban will have to pay a relatively large price to take down the anti-Tajik forces.
Third, a group photo of Ukrainian President Zelenskiy during his visit to the United States caused an uproar. According to the latest media reports, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky recently arrived in Washington for a working visit, and Zelenskiy began talks with US officials after arriving in the United States. The Ukrainian Presidential Office posted a photo of the signing of the agreement between the United States and Ukraine on its social media, but this photo caused strong dissatisfaction among Ukrainian netizens.
In the photo, Zelenskiy stands alone next to the U.S. and Ukrainian flags behind the signing table, with no U.S. representative standing next to him. Ukrainian netizens said: "Our president does not even have a chair, which is too pitiful." Some netizens said that Zelenskiy stood there "like a servant." Some netizens sarcastically said: "This is our best waiter, does he feel tired standing there?" ”
Leaving aside the connotations of this photo, Zelenskiy's visit to the United States is still relatively important, including involving the United States in the process of resolving the "Donbass conflict", as well as the Nord Stream-2 pipeline project and Ukraine's energy security. It can be found that these contents are more or less related to Russia. However, zelenskiy's obvious snub is still evident, and the "weak countries without diplomacy" are vividly reflected in this incident. In contrast, when German Chancellor Angela Merkel recently visited the United States, she was accompanied by Vice President Harris for breakfast, and then Biden held separate talks with Merkel. In contrast, Zelenskiy was indeed treated a little poorly.
