How China is rewriting diplomacy

About this episode

The episode discusses China's unique approach to diplomacy that focuses on infrastructure and respect without political strings attached.

While traditional diplomacy often comes with demands and conditions, China is taking a different road. No political strings attached. No patronizing of smaller nations. Just infrastructure, respect, and results. Jason and Beibei explore why this approach is winning over countries — and why so many are now turning toward Beijing. Hosted on Acast.
