"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.

Avant la visite de Xi Jinping aux Etats-Unis, les Taïwanais s’inquiètent du report de livraisons d’armes

Donald Trump avait évoqué les ventes d’armes à Taïwan comme un « levier de négociation » avec la Chine à la suite de son déplacement en mai. Mais en intégrant ces livraisons à des discussions plus larges, Washington fragilise son soutien historique à Taïwan.

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

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

“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?

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: From Bulldog to Lapdog on China — Western Press Gearing Up for Xi's Washington Visit

Trump does not realize that his mysterious friendship with Xi is one-sided. It would be a geopolitical drama if a military confrontation broke out over Taiwan and the South China Sea. Should any European country fear a Russian military attack? Putin could not hide how bad the mood is in the country, even with the election democracy circus. How long can Chancellor Friedrich Merz remain at 13 percent popularity? Topics and opinions from the world press.
