How have historical misperceptions shaped U.S.-China relations? How does Russia fit into the evolving global order? And what do these dynamics mean for Taiwan?

In this episode, we speak with Xiang Lanxin, Distinguished Fellow at the Stimson Center and Professor Emeritus of International History and Politics at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva. Our conversation explores the history and evolution of U.S.-China-Russia relations, including long-standing Western misperceptions of China, the state of U.S.-China ties today, and Russia’s complex relationships with both the West and China.

With deep historical context and sharp geopolitical analysis, Xiang Lanxin offers a unique perspective on today’s great power dynamics.
