In this episode of The Jay Martin Show, Jay engages with Warwick Powell, an adjunct professor at the University of Technology in Queensland and an expert in Asian geopolitics, to unpack the intricate geopolitical dynamics of the South China Sea. They discuss the historical and current tensions among key stakeholders such as China, the Philippines, and the United States, examining their strategic motivations and military maneuvers.
