Check out the first episode of our new podcast, The Beijing Brief. In our first episode, we discuss the delayed Trump-Xi summit. https://t.co/x7jC9lzyXu

[CSIS Freeman Chair in China Studies @CSISFreeman]

What will the Trump-Xi summit mean for the U.S.-China relationship, managed trade, and the war in Iran?

ICYMI: @BrookingsChina’s @JonCzin joined Senior Fellow @Henrietta_Ivy to discuss the outcomes of the meeting.

.@S_Rabinovitch: “The last time that Xi Jinping left China was in late October. Since then the world has come to him: a dozen heads of state have visited…The symbolism is not lost on anyone. A world adrift from its American anchor is looking to China.”

A new video to accompany and explain our initiative at the Brookings Institution focused on competing with China.

[Brookings China @BrookingsChina]

The US risks losing the competition with China. It remains the world’s preeminent power still but its ability to maintain its edge over China is diminishing.

@BrookingsInst is launching a new multi-year initiative to lay out bold policy initiatives to sharpen that edge.

[Jon Czin @jonczin]

In the latest episode of The Beijing Brief, @ryanl_hass, @patricia_m_kim, and @kyleichan and I assess President Trump's visit to Beijing. Please listen!

@williamnee @patricia_m_kim @BrookingsInst Thanks!

[Jon Czin @jonczin]

I really enjoyed this conversation on one of my favorite podcasts. The folks at Trivium are among the best in the business of assessing China’s economy and their pod is a staple of my listening diet. https://t.co/JukWLr8C5w

Please check out my new essay for “Sharpening the Edge: Positioning the U.S. for Strategic Competition with China.”

[Brookings Foreign Policy @BrookingsFP]

"For a sprawling challenge like China, Washington should be guided by a secularized version of the Serenity Prayer—accepting what cannot be changed, having the courage to change what we can, and having the wisdom to know the difference," writes @jonczin: https://t.co/w82qIE94mD

[Jon Czin @jonczin]

This was a great conversation. Please listen!

@EvanFeigenbaum Amazing reference!

[Jon Czin @jonczin]

Great points by my colleague Pattie Kim.

[Patricia M. Kim @patricia_m_kim]

➤Putin’s visit to Beijing is less about optics than strategic alignment. If Xi and Putin unveil a joint statement and concrete agreements, it would reinforce the message that the China-Russia partnership remains strong, institutionalized, and coordinated across a broad range of strategic issues.

➤The contrast would be notable to the Trump-Xi summit, which yielded separate readouts with limited substance and appeared to speak past each other.

➤Beijing is succeeding in projecting the image of a stable and confident great power. Xi increasingly appears to be operating from a position of strength, while both Putin and Trump remain consumed by wars of their own making.

[Jon Czin @jonczin]

This is the trillion dollar question, as eloquently articulated by @niubi.

“…the Chinese will use this hard won period of tenuous stability to do everything they can to derisk and reduce reliance on the US…but it is not clear the US side has the political will or capacity to do the same.”

[Nick Schifrin @nickschifrin]

From @niubi's always must read newsletter: "Previous US administrations had resisted entering into these kinds of new frameworks defined by the PRC side, so even with the US conditions of 'on the basis of fairness and reciprocity' this is a very significant move by the Trump team. I believe they understand that the Chinese will use this hard won period of tenuous stability to do everything they can to derisk and reduce reliance on the US, as the PRC effectively articulated in the new 15th Five Year Plan, but it is not clear the US side has the political will or capacity to do the same, especially as the PRC will be using every lever at their disposal to push back on further attempts in the US to derisk and reduce reliance on the PRC."

Check out my latest conversation with @jordanschneider about last week’s Trump-Xi summit.

https://t.co/3XoXmnumRU

[CSIS Freeman Chair in China Studies @CSISFreeman]

The White House readout of Trump’s visit to Beijing included language on a “constructive relationship of strategic stability.”

But as @BrookingsChina’s @JonCzin argues, “This is a trap. What they’re trying to do is use this seemingly innocuous rhetorical device to try to bind the United States...”

ICYMI: Hear more on this episode of Pekingology, where Jon and @Henrietta_Ivy discuss the outcomes of the Trump-Xi summit.

The White House had 48 + hours to workshop this document but the result is a strikingly thin gruel. Among others- little comfort in the reference to rare earths/critical minerals . What U.S. concerns will Beijing actually “address” and how/when?🧐 https://t.co/vYd6yqd3Tq
