Source refs: `video:interview-izzvijq0gka@transcript:v1#seg-0104` - diagnosis: Jiang argues that China is not presently equipped to fight an overseas war near Iran because it lacks a blue-water navy, overseas combat experience, supply lines, logistics networks, and command infrastructure for that theater.
