The world now enters a period of extraordinary geopolitical and economic upheaval.
In this episode of the Silk and Steel Podcast, Carl Zha speaks with Australian geopolitical and China expert Dr. Warwick Powell about the escalation of conflict around the Strait of Hormuz, soaring energy prices, Iran's regional strategy, the Ukraine war, China's economic resilience, and the growing crisis inside the Western geopolitical system.
The discussion goes beyond the immediate Iran conflict. Powell argues that the real story is the emergence of a new regional and global security architecture—one that is shaped by Iran, China, Russia and other countries outside the traditional Western-led system.
