Why was the US Afghanistan withdrawal a history-changing moment for China?

While the US is embroiled in wars in Ukraine and Gaza, China has been quietly getting on with the business of becoming the dominant global super-power. It’s belt and road initiative now has more than 150 sign-ups, and the BRICS-plus group is positioning itself to abandon any connection to the US dollar. China expert Geoff Raby says the US's withdrawal from Afghanistan was a pivotal moment for China, allowing it to establish its power in Central Asia and leaving it free to turn its attention to dominating the sea. So how will the US respond to this new threat from China, with Donald Trump at the helm?

So why are we ignoring our nearest neighbours? Guest: Drew Ambrose, Senior Producer, 101 East, for Al Jazeera International.
