Friday Focus: Xi Gives Putin a Bear Hug
Our latest Friday Focus podcast looks at Chinese President’s Xi Jinping’s decision to “poke a finger in the eye” of the United States by openly embracing Russian President Vladimir Putin during a recent summit. What does this moment say about where the global order is going? Rudyard Griffiths and Janice Stein also discuss a Russian offensive that seems to be gaining traction in Ukraine.
