Nima Rostami Alkhorshid:

1. What are the crucial issues in the current U.S.-China relationship?
2. How do Chinese officials perceive the differences between the U.S. and China?
3. What is Europe’s stance on the Ukraine conflict, and how effective is it?
4. How do you view Trump’s foreign policy decisions regarding Brazil and Japan?
5. What is Iran’s position toward potential negotiations with the U.S.?

Amb. Chas Freeman:

1. The U.S. has chosen China as an adversary due to internal dissatisfaction, not global realities, with both political parties aligned against China despite its economic rise.
2. Chinese leaders see U.S. actions as irrational and driven by pride over losing dominance, misunderstanding China’s governance model and policies.
3. Europe is divided and lacks a coherent strategy in Ukraine, continuing ineffective support while ignoring greater humanitarian crises elsewhere.
4. Trump’s erratic behavior alienates allies like Brazil and Japan, undermining diplomacy and damaging long-standing international relationships.
5. Iran wants dialogue but sees no sincerity or guarantees from the U.S., which remains under Israeli influence, blocking meaningful engagement.
