ChinaFile Presents: What Happened When Trump Met Xi?

On November 8, just weeks after Chinese President Xi Jinping proclaimed he was shepherding China into a “new era,” his American counterpart Donald Trump will begin a three-day state visit to Beijing. His first trip to China since his inauguration, and his third meeting with Xi, Trump’s visit will help define the United States’ evolving relationship with China. How will the two leaders address flashpoints like trade and North Korea? How will citizens in the United States and China view the trip? And what should we expect from China-U.S. relations moving forward?

oin Arthur Ross Director of the Center on U.S.-China Relations Orville Schell, who will have just returned from covering Trump’s visit to China; Director of the China Power Project at CSIS Bonnie Glaser; and ASPI Diplomat in Residence and former Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Daniel Russel. ChinaFile Editor Susan Jakes will moderate.
