Xi should say "thank you" to President Trump when they meet.

His country is reaping the benefits of Trump's damaging foreign policies.

"Any [US-China] A.I. talks will be complicated by the fact that neither country is likely to agree to anything that restrains their own competitive ability, Mr. Mehta said."

Trump and Xi to Discuss A.I. Risks and Competition at US-China Summit (Gift Article)

Artificial intelligence is on the agenda when leaders from the United States and China meet this week. But with little consensus on a path forward, expectations are limited.

“I do think that the Chinese are looking beyond Trump and see him as a temporary figure, and might be reluctant to agree to anything long-term because it could evaporate once he leaves, or even while he’s still in office, because of the question of whether he would stick to it.”

Why China Isn’t Getting Existential About A.I.

China’s fears about A.I. are increasingly distinct from those of the U.S. What does that mean for international coöperation?

Xi Jinping und Donald Trump treffen in Washington auf einander. Werden sie die großen Herausforderungen KI-Wettlauf, Kriege in Iran & der Ukraine angehen oder nur Wirtschaftsdeals machen? Ein Kommentar unserer Kolleg:innen aus Beijing, Washington & Berlin.

Scheitern verboten

Trump braucht einen Erfolg, Xi setzt auf Stabilität. Beim Gipfel in Washington geht es weniger um Weltordnung als um Schadensbegrenzung.

What Xi Really Wants From Trump

As US President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, prepare to meet in Washington, American policymakers must not underestimate China’s ambitions. Under Xi, its foreign policy is focused on securing the support of the Global South while pursuing the long-term goal of seizing Taiwan and achieving global preeminence.

Trump declares victory in Greenland, but the deal exposes a deeper crisis of trust
