Panelists joined to discuss what the summit in Beijing may mean for the U.S. and China.
President Donald Trump's visit to Beijing. Beijing said it reached “common understandings” with Washington, while Trump said they "settled a lot of different problems,” but neither side gave specifics. Walk into any regional airport in America, and you’ll likely see a Cirrus aircraft on the tarmac.
Sleek, American-made, often bearing the American flag. When Xi Jinping and Donald Trump concluded their Beijing summit, the most consequential outcome – for China at least – may prove not material, but conceptual: the adoption of “constructive strategic stability” (CSS) as the guiding framework for managing their intensifying competition.
Financial Times reported the story as "Beijing’s unlikely bet on Russia may yet pay off." The Atlantic reported the story as "Trump’s Visit to China." Washington Examiner reported the story as "Made in America, owned by Beijing: China’s quiet infiltration of US general aviation."
