Summary
As President Trump lands in Beijing for his summit with Xi, Patrick and Tom are joined by China analyst, Sam Olsen, to discuss whether Iran has flipped the balance of power between the rivals.
Sam argues the war has degraded America's weapons stockpile, recast China as the reliable global partner, and given Beijing a ringside seat on the US military playbook - gifting China with the strategic edge.
And, if Trump needs Xi's help to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, will be be willing to sell-out Taiwan in return, with potentially even greater consequences for the balance of power?
