Zineb Riboua appears on Fox News to discuss China’s connections to Iran, including the discounted crude oil China has been receiving from Iran. Losing this discounted supply could force China to find alternative energy sources and may lead to Beijing missing its economic growth targets. She also comments on the upcoming meeting between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, arguing that the war in Iran could shift the balance of power between the two leaders.
