Will China's climate diplomacy push US out of Taiwan?

A US delegation led by former US State Sec. John Kerry are set to arrive in China on Wednesday to talk climate change. The visit comes ahead of a virtual climate summit, hosted by President Biden, with Chinese President Xi Jinping's attendance still unconfirmed. Can Beijing be expected to use the climate agenda as leverage to counter US ambitions and growing influence over the island of Taiwan? Former USTR official Steve Gill weighs in. Then former naval intelligence officer John Jordan discusses NATO's more strident than usual overtures to the Ukraine and the Biden administration's stated goal of withdrawal from Afghanistan by Sept 11, 2021. Then attorneys Barak Lurie and Daniel Gillion debate the NCAA's decision to bring its influence to bear on the question of transgender athletes. . Plus, RT America's Natasha Sweatte discusses obstacles to the disbursement of much-needed stimulus money to landlords and renters.
