In this special bonus episode, Eric speaks with Kaiser Kuo, host of the popular Sinica Podcast, about China’s response to the U.S. military intervention in Venezuela and the capture of President Nicolas Maduro.
Many U.S. and European analysts have framed Maduro’s downfall as a “setback” or even an “embarrassment” for Beijing, but while that may be true, Eric argues that it’s also premature to make such declarations less than a week after Maduro’s downfall. After all, U.S.-led military interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya all started well but ended up being very costly failures for Washington.
