Beijing, August 21 (RHC)-- China has issued a further rebuke of Washington’s foreign policy, claiming the fall of Kabul further highlights that U.S. military interventions aren’t working and that the vast war chest could have been better spent elsewhere.

On Friday, China’s foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying delivered another damning appraisal of U.S. interventionist policy, stating that Washington has a terrible track record of trying to shape other countries in accordance with its own ideals. 

Hua stated, citing American Professor Jeffrey Sachs, that all U.S. military interventions in developing nations, since the Korean war, have failed.  Every time Washington falls deeper into “disaster and the abyss."

Listing former U.S. interventions, the spokeswoman affirmed that Americans can now add Afghanistan to the list of failed wars which includes Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Iraq, Syria and Libya.

Hua also questioned the American strategy on the ground, asserting that in Afghanistan only 2% is spent on basic infrastructure or poverty alleviation projects that may truly benefit the Afghan people.

“The U.S. could have worked with other countries to invest more in clean water, schools, hospitals, agriculture and other projects to help Afghanistan get rid of poverty,” she stated.

Referring to a Chinese proverb, she claimed that America has experienced enough hard lessons, but questioned: “when will they learn?”  “The United States should really deeply reflect on its erroneous policy of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries which are, at every turn, arrogant, and always reckless.”
