Beijing now sets the agenda for US-China ties | Asian Insider podcast

Описание

Can Trump and Xi’s new ‘constructive’ framework bring stability to the US-China dynamic? In this episode, host Ravi Velloor speaks with Wang Xiangwei, the eminent Hongkong-based China scholar and former editor-in-chief of South China Morning Post. Wang, who is soon heading to the Harvard Kennedy School of Government as a Senior Visiting Fellow, offers a Chinese perspective on the changing dynamics of the US-China relationship, with Beijing now treated as a near-peer by Washington, and increasingly able to set the agenda. US President Donald Trump, he says, is the most China-friendly person in his Cabinet and the days when even Chinese garlic was treated as a national security risk are long over.  In an odd way, China does not wish to see the US retrench from Asia entirely.
