Trump-Xi Summit Post-Mortem: A Net Assessment


Chinese Communist dictator Xi Jinping’s lavish welcome for President Trump and much of what followed seemed designed to obscure a harsh reality: China’s ruling Communist Party is at war with the United States. No one in American public life has appreciated that reality more and for a longer time than Donald J. Trump.

The question is: Where are we in that war in the wake of last week’s bilateral summit last week in Beijing?
 
This CPDC webinar addressed that fraught question with a number of the Committee on the Present Danger: China’s most influential members and allies. The program is an examination of what we know happened, what purportedly took place, what has been announced by one or the other of the parties about commitments and statements made and their implications, and prognoses about what will actually come next with regard to Taiwan, the war with Iran and World War Xi.
