ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Trump. Xi. Beijing. The first US presidential visit to China in nearly a decade, and the world was watching.
Kishore Mahbubani, Distinguished Fellow at the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore, former Singapore Ambassador to the United Nations and one of Asia's most influential foreign policy thinkers, joins Lynlee Foo to make sense of what actually happened. What did Xi mean by invoking the Thucydides Trap? Why is Taiwan the one issue that could trigger war between the US and China? And why does the Iran war give Beijing more leverage than Washington wants to admit?
Also this week: Russia launched the largest drone and missile assault of the Ukraine war shortly after a Trump-brokered ceasefire ended. And a new Russian law that small states across the world should be watching very closely.
