What China Learned from the Conflict in Iran

In this episode of What Just Happened?, Marco Giannangeli is joined by Dr John Hemmings, Senior Adviser to the Pacific Forum and Jonah Kaplan, Principal Asia Pacific Analyst at Sibylline, to examine what recent conflicts may be teaching China's military planners. Drawing lessons from the US, Israeli and Iranian conflicts, the discussion explores how Beijing is assessing American military capabilities, the growing role of artificial intelligence in warfare and the implications for future flashpoints such as Taiwan. The conversation concludes with an assessment of how these lessons could influence future Chinese strategy and the risks facing regional stability.
