Evan Feigenbaum: Unlikely that China will act as a mediator in the Israel-Iran conflict
Evan Feigenbaum of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace says the hope that China would mediate between Israel and Iran is a “bridge too far” and that China is more likely to “duck and cover”, hoping the conflict comes to an end sooner rather than later.
Evan Feigenbaum, a former diplomat, has been an advisor to two American Secretaries of State, a former Treasury Secretary, the CEOs and boards of leading companies, and investment funds in all asset classes. He has negotiated with dictators and ex-guerillas, written a book on China as a high-tech superpower, and worked with and in countries from China to India, Australia to Kazakhstan. He is vice president for studies of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the world’s oldest international affairs think tank. To host him for a speaking opportunity, contact WWSG.
