Teaser - PTO Extra! Great power rivalry at 14,000 ft w/ Arif Rafiq

On Monday evening soldiers of the Indian Army and the Chinese
People's Liberation Army clashed on their disputed border in the
Ladakh area of Kashmir in the Himalayas. Reportedly fighting with
rocks and iron bars, no shots were fired but the Indian Army
reported twenty deaths on its side and also claimed casualties on
the Chinese side. I spoke to Arif Rafiq about what we know about
the clashes between the two regional powers, how China perceived
India's annexation of Jammu and Kashmir last year, and how US
support for India may facilitate increasing Chinese dominance in
Asia. To get access to this episode become a $5 PTO supporter on
