ICYMI: China Scholar on Taiwan, Trump-Xi and the Chinese View of U.S. Power
Two world leaders, two days of talks, and an agenda with global consequences. Nearly a decade on from his last trip, President Trump faced a more assertive China against the backdrop of a very different world order. Having returned to office promising to make China pay, Trump now seems more focused on managing competition than escalating it, seeking diplomatic wins as he contends with waning approval ratings at home. All this is unfolding in the shadow of the war in Iran, which has thrown China's global influence into sharper focus. Over the past 13 years President Xi has transformed China, tightening control at home while embracing a bolder strategy abroad. Xiang Lanxin is Professor Emeritus of International History and Politics at the Graduate Institute in Geneva, and he joins the show from Shanghai.
