With global attention fixed on escalating conflict in the Middle East, China is quietly recalculating its strategic position. In this episode, TAG Managing Principal Brett Fetterly joins Host and TAG Senior Advisor Mira Rapp-Hooper to explore how Beijing views U.S. military action in Iran, what’s at stake in a planned Trump-Xi summit, and how domestic U.S. politics are reshaping China policy. The discussion examines China’s efforts to present itself as a defender of international order, its economic vulnerabilities around energy and trade, and the growing tension between short-term diplomacy and long-term competition.
