In this segment of By Any Means Necessary hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by John Ross, Senior Fellow at Chongyang Institute, Renmin University of China, and an award-winning resident columnist with several Chinese media organizations, to talk about US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's declaration that the US considers much of China's claims to the South China Seas as unlawful, why the US government's well-documented distaste for international accords undermines any US claim to an international leadership role, and what the British reversal on Chinese 5G technology and the recent China-Iran trade agreement mean for the new international economic order going forward.
