China Decode: What Trump’s War With Iran Means for China and Global Oil

Hogging seats on a crowded train, not saying excuse me, watching videos on your phone with no headphones in. Sometimes it feels like we don't know how to act anymore. What we have been seeing, increasingly, is people breaking rules. Why should I play by the rules if nobody else is going to do that for me? This week on Explain It to Me, how to mind your manners.

New episodes Sundays wherever you get your podcasts. Before we start today's episode, a quick note about another show in the ProfG media world, Raging Moderates, with Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov, is now five days a week with new episodes coming every weekday evening. It's a show that is very helpful for making sense of US politics right now. If you're not already subscribed, you definitely want to check it out. Find Raging Moderates on YouTube, as well as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and everywhere else.

Now here's the show. I don't see this as primely motivated by the US wanting to take on China, but I really do think that it's time to ask the question, is what people a few years ago were calling the new Cold War between the US and China now warming up? And if so, then we're in a very, very different world from the one that we've all been used to. Welcome to China Decode.
