When an ally, even a business partner, is in dire straits, one would think that others would come to their aid. It would be unwise to make this assumption about a partner such as China.
As the war in Iran continues, China is being placed in a deeper dilemma about how to handle its relationships with the United States and Iran.
It manifests similarly to how many movies and stories have portrayed villains: in a state of total indifference toward their underlings and what happens to them.
Join Terri in this week's episode to hear how the Chinese Communist Party truly treats its people and allies, according to historical cases, and why this explains the lack of support for falling regimes such as those in Venezuela and Iran.
