China and Iran Alliance, Road to New Axis Powers? - The China Angle with Simone Gao

China and Iran Alliance, Road to the Axis Powers? Will China Confront the US on the South China Sea or Taiwan? Hi, welcome to the China Angle. I’m Simone Gao. China and Iran are in the final stages of signing a $400 billion deal, one that would challenge U.S. sanctions currently imposed on Iran. This deal is happening at a time when The People’s Liberation Army of China has conducted multiple drills with large military dispatches on the South China Sea and Bohai sea and Chinese military aircraft have frequently been operating in airspace near Taiwan. What are the Chinese Communist leadership’s intentions in this area? Does the U.S. have the will and capability to deter the CCP and their actions in the South China Sea and Taiwan? We will explore these questions in today’s episode of the China Angle.
