Afghanistan A Renewed Opportunity for China-EU Cooperation: Times

The drastic change in Afghanistan provides a renewed opportunity for cooperation between China and the EU as both sides have economic interests in the region, the Global Times said in an editorial. What has happened in Afghanistan proves that the U.S. is an unreliable partner that will always sacrifice others to protect its own interests, the state-owned newspaper said. European leaders should see that the best course of action is to strengthen cooperation with China, and if the U.S. uses its dollar to sanction Afghanistan, financial cooperation between China and the EU with the rising status of the euro and the yuan may help the country out, Global Times said.
