The United States and its European allies have issued fresh sanctions on China over abuses of its ethnic Uighur minority. In response, China issued tit-for-tat sanctions on 10 European figures that "harm China's sovereignty." The move is just the latest example of recent American pushback on perceived Chinese aggression - the Biden administration has taken strong stances against China in Taiwan and the South China Sea.
Today, join the Global Current as analysts Drew Starbuck and Liam Brucker-Casey look at the new sanctions, how they impact the situation on the ground in China, and how they will affect relations between each country. Beforehand, New Briefer Brady Black informs us of other pressing news headlines from around the globe.
