Nikki Haley, former US envoy to the United Nations, on Wednesday warned that China might take over the Bagram air force base in Afghanistan and use Pakistan to get stronger to go against India.
"We need to watch China because I think you are going to see China make a move for Bagram Air Force Base. I think they are also making a move in Afghanistan and trying to use Pakistan to get stronger to go against India. So, we have got a lot of issues," she said.
In an interview with Fox News, Haley said that the country has many other challenges and Biden's decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan has lost confidence of the allies. She further added that the country needs to assure that its citizens are protected and the cybersecurity is tightly packed because rivals such as Russia might continue hacking the system .

She slammed Biden's decision of hurried withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, adding the top most priority of Biden administration should be to strengthen its allies and it should prepare its military to fight against the looming threat of cyber-crime and terrorism.
"The first thing you should do is immediately start connecting with our allies, whether it's Taiwan, whether it's Ukraine, whether it's Israel, whether it's India, Australia, Japan, all of them, and reassure them that we will have their back and that we need them as well," Haley said.
Secondly, the country must ensure that it launches an anti-terrorist campaign around the world, because with the jihadists' moral victory, there will be a massive recruitment push all over the world, she added.

"He has betrayed the faith and confidence of every member of the military, as well as the military families of whom I am happy to be a part. Our allies have lost faith in him, and they are now negotiating without us because they don't understand why we're doing what we're doing, "she stated.
Joe Biden, she claimed, has lost the American people's trust and confidence. "If you look at how the jihadists are celebrating in the streets because America has left town – and they left them with billions of dollars in weaponry and ammunition as a housewarming present," she continued.
