Mitch McConnell on Biden's plans to withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan by Sept. 11:

Lindsey Graham:

"A full withdrawal from Afghanistan is so irresponsible it makes the Biden administration policies at the border look sound." axios.com/lawmakers-bide…

🇨🇳⚽️ Chinese President Xi Jinping hoped to make China a global leader in soccer, his favorite sport. After years of massive government support, that dream has so far fallen short, writes @BethanyAllenEbr, @TheKendallBaker and @JeffreyTracy.
axios.com/china-soccer-x…
📈 The Chinese men's national team is currently ranked 75th in the world, up from where it was 10 years ago (90–100 range) but down from where it was before the turn of the century (30–40 range).
🏅The Chinese Super League was on the rise and threatening to tilt the balance of global soccer during the last decade. Now, it's in complete disarray.

The league's uncertain future could damage soccer's domestic popularity.
