The talk explores Israel's approach to the emerging tensions between the U.S. and China. A close U.S. ally for decades, Israel is adjusting aspects of its foreign and economic policies in response both to China's rise and to American pressure to limit Israeli-Chinese economic ties.  The talk looks at the history of Israel's relations with both nations and unpacks the current Israeli dilemma, within the global context of a new great power competition.
