I often say to Chinese policymakers…forget your endless historical battles and try to invite India to share the leadership […]
Seth J. Frantzman Jerusalem Post, Aug. 24, 2023 “the real story here is the growth in influence in Middle East states. Saudi Arabia, for instance has hosted recent meetings with China.
