to a western alliance reinvigorated by that ukraine war, are china s vulnerabilities suddenly in sharperfocus? henry wang, welcome to hardtalk. thank you, steve. it s a pleasure to have you on our show. i m mindful that you were the founder, the creator of a think tank, the center for china and globalization. you said you wanted it to be a bridge between east and west. right now, it seems many of those bridges are being burned. would you agree? well, i think it s. yeah, absolutely. we see things have changed a lot in the last five to six years, basically. and a lot of dialogue has been cut off. there s a lot of communications cut off. and most, of course, on top of that, the covid 19 pandemic has also isolated many countries. and also given the, you know, the trade war, the sanctions, the. ..ideological and tax code decoupling and all those things add up. i think that we really need to strengthen the dialogue, strengthen the communication and bridge building. absolutely. i ho
