The Independent Brief with Taylor Hathorn: NATO and China – Strange Bedfellows

During this episode of The Independent Brief with Taylor Hathorn, Taylor discusses the extremely dangerous flirtation that many NATO nations are having with China.

While newer nations function with a true commitment to NATO and, in many cases, help reinvigorate the alliance’s original intent, more established countries such as England and France are being drawn into the false promises of a strong relationship with China.

Taylor also discusses a more modern approach to the NATO alliance that may expand to include nations such as Saudi Arabia and others in the region.
