Can Trump get China to stop supporting Russia?How will the trade war with the US develop? Will China lead an axis of authoritarian regimes against the West?Has Beijing become more supportive of Russia lately?Will China be emboldened or deterred from invading Taiwan from the War in Ukraine?To answer these questions and more I spoke with former colleague Thomas Zhang, long-time China expert and Head of the China department at FrontierView. Thomas Zhang, China expert based in Singapore who leads the China team at FrontierView, a political and economic risk consultancy.
