Faithful Politics "China & Russia Make Strange Bedfellows" w/William Nee
It's no secret that Russia is waging a genocidal war against the people of Ukraine, but what most of the western world doesn't know is exactly which side China is on. We speak with our resident China expert, William Nee, about this odd pairing of autocratic leaders and what they each get out of this relationship. Then we talk about how China might be re-evaluating their strategy on invading Taiwan based on the crippling sanctions that Russia has had placed on them. Is a war with Taiwan worth pursuing? Listen to the episode and find out!
