“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.

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