US left an awful mess, says China

China on Tuesday accused Washington of "leaving an awful mess" in Afghanistan after the Taliban seized control of the country prompting a chaotic evacuation of US personnel and allies, news agency AFP reported. Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying on Tuesday said Washington had left "an awful mess of unrest, division and broken families" in Afghanistan. "America's strength and role is destruction, not construction," Hua said at a regular press briefing.
