Taliban Denies Trump’s Claims of Chinese Presence at Bagram Airfield

Former U.S. President Donald Trump alleges Chinese occupation of the Afghan airbase, but the Taliban refutes the claim, calling it misinformation.

Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid dismissed Donald Trump's assertion that Chinese troops are stationed at Bagram Airfield, labeling the claim as emotional and baseless.
The Taliban maintains that Bagram remains under their control and denies any agreements with foreign countries involving the airfield.
Trump criticized the Biden administration for the 2021 U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, claiming it left behind billions of dollars in military equipment now used or sold by the Taliban.
The Taliban refers to the abandoned U.S. equipment as 'spoils of war' and has stated it will use these resources to protect Afghanistan if necessary.
Reports from 2021 suggested Chinese interest in Bagram, but no confirmed evidence of Chinese military presence at the airbase has surfaced since then.
