For two decades, the Chinese communist regime has been courting, investing in, and coordinating with the Iranian regime, its proxies, and Gulf nations to build out a stronghold for its strategy of a new global order, says Hudson Institute research fellow Zineb Riboua. According to her, that all ended with Operation Epic Fury.

“From a U.S. perspective ... being involved does not just mean helping an ally, it means reshaping the configuration of a Middle East that has been, for a very long time, I think, a Chinese chessboard,” Riboua said on EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders” program on March 4. The full episode will run on EpochTV at 9 p.m.
