The Marathon Initiative co-founder Elbridge Colby and Ret. Brig. Gen. Peter Zwack talked about China's role on the global stage Friday on 'Jesse Watters Primetime.'
I think the upshot … is that the world is probably fracturing and there definitely are big downsides. I'm sure the Chinese are livid at the Russians more for screwing up the invasion than for any moral abominations that they have certainly committed. But look, there is upside for the Chinese here. This makes the Russians a lot more pliable for them. They have a lot less leverage. And I think we're seeing the beginnings of the formation of a Chinese-led bloc.
But I think in practice, both on the economic sanctions-evasion side, but even potentially in militarily relevant equipment or resources, they seem to be sticking with their man there. I think that right now … one strategic, geostrategic issue, if Russia totters or fails, then … China has lost, if you will, its major geostrategic partner as far as how they see the worldview while they have completely different things. I think they make the move on Taiwan. I think that they are exposed.
