0:32Now PlayingPaul Rieckhoff explains why China was the big geopolitical winner of 2025 and is already winning 2026, drawing on analysis from the Institute for the Study of War to show how Beijing is using the capture of Maduro to paint the United States as a villain and itself as a responsible leader of the global south, while warning that China’s celebration, alongside other U.S. adversaries, is another slice in the slow erosion of American democracy. #China
