YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Twelve days of war between Israel and Iran have ended in a fragile ceasefire. Some have criticized China’s cautiousness in directly supporting Iran during the attacks, while others argue the war exposed the limits of Beijing’s foreign policy. Why didn’t China step in to help its ally? Are we really in a multipolar era? Vijay Prashad joins Amanda Yee this week to discuss.

Our understanding of China — and U.S.-China relations — has become a defining feature of all global politics. The China Report is a new show produced in collaboration with Pivot to Peace where every week, we will be helping you through all the propaganda with an independent view of the country we are taught to hate, but know so little about.
