Episode 327: Secretary Blinken Enters the Dragon’s Den Fault Lines

    • Politics

Today, Jamil, Jess, Les, and Morgan discuss U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to China where he will be meeting with senior Chinese officials. On the agenda - potential sanctions against Chinese financial institutions if China continues to support Russia’s build-up of its defense industrial base, including by providing significant quantities of machine tools, microelectronics, drone and turbojet engines, and technology for cruise missiles.
Will the threat of sanctions against Chinese financial institutions change Chinese policy?  Does Secretary Blinken have enough credibility on the world stage to influence policy?  How can the United States change China’s policy toward Russia?
Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.
