China Geopolitics is a podcast from the South China Morning Post in Hong Kong. This week, we looked at how an India-led misinformation campaign spread like wildfire on Twitter. In New York, Beijing and Tokyo marked 50 years of bilateral relations with both President Xi and Kishida issuing statements that it was important to take relations in a positive direction. Paraguay's President Mario Upto called on Taiwan to invest a billion dollars in his country to resist pressure from switching his nation's diplomatic recognition to China. And we finished with the United States imposing sanctions on companies accused of assisting Iran's petrochemical trade, including five companies based in China.
