China Global South Project – 20 May 2025

“For China, having the U.S. more committed to the Middle East helps keep American focus away from strategic areas of Chinese interest. However, it may also allow the U.S. to gain an upper hand in a region without heavy military commitments.”

Enrico Fardella (T.wai & University of Naples “L’Orientale”) and Andrea Ghiselli (T.wai & University of Exeter) were discussants in the podcast episode “China’s Mideast Strategy in the Trump 2.0 Era” of the China Global South Project.
