No one has been sucessfull in conquering Afganastan in thousands of years.
I seriously doubt the Russians played by the rules, and unless they turn the country into glass killing everyone that breathes, the Chinese will fail too
The difference between the Chinese and everyone else is they have a couple hundred million excess men they will happily send to kill every last Afghan hiding in a cave. The Han Chinese believe they’re the super race and everyone else is a subhuman. The CCP is the Nazis reincarnated.
