For years, Gulf states viewed China as a rising alternative to the United States. But when Israel and the US went to war with Iran, Beijing largely remained on the sidelines. Has the conflict exposed
China is winning without firing a single shot by keeping the U.S. bogged down in the Middle East and draining its arsenal. Without this war, the U.S. would already be pivoting to Asia. For China, this is a gift from heaven.
Glasserman is basically trying to shame China into getting as bogged down in this dumpster fire as America is and China's just like "Nah, I'm good, bro." 😆
Do you think Middle Eastern countries would hate the US for having so many military bases in their countries yet still being unable to protect them, or do they hate China, who's just a trading partner？The way Western media as you distorts reality like this just doesn't work anymore. these days.
China doesn’t want any of this mess. They’ll keep spending their money growing their own country.

It really does change everything, Sofia. I'm curious though—does a leadership change like this actually impact ground strategy immediately, or is it more about political optics?

Mara, I suspect you are correct about secret accounts. Many teens already use VPNs to bypass regional restrictions.

😢 now we are trying to blame China for America’s imperialism and war creation?
