China and the Global South's Response to the Iran War, with Mr Eric Olander

As the Iran war reshapes global trade routes and energy security, the question of how Beijing and Global South countries navigate the conflict takes center stage. Eric Olander, Editor-in-Chief of the China Global South Project and a veteran journalist with over three decades of experience at CNN, the Associated Press, and the BBC World Service, explains the prevalence of pragmatic realism over ideological alignment, how supply chain disruptions are disproportionately affecting developing nations, the limitations of coalitions like BRICS in times of crisis, and what the future holds for nations caught between competing superpowers.
