Peacemaker or playmaker? Where China stands on Trump's war in the Middle East
About this episode
The episode explores China's position and potential role in the context of the ongoing war in the Middle East and its implications for global leadership.
The war in the Middle East is sending shock waves through global supply chains, so where does this leave economic superpower China? Will it emerge as a genuine global leader or merely make a profit from global disorder? Does Beijing see the US and the President Trump's instability as a threat or opportunity? In this episode, Geraldine and Latika go roaming to find out if China wants the global power but not the global responsibility.
