China, Russia and the new geopolitics
Artillery fire in Europe and a new cold war between the world's two largest economies-not long ago, both would have seemed far-fetched. Yet Russia's war in Ukraine drags on. President Xi Jinping wants a new world order, with China at its helm. What does China and Russia's deepening alliance mean for the United States? How do America's allies view its global leadership? And how might the presidential election change the future of American power?
