Following the Trump-Xi meeting in October 2025, US-China relations seemed to have potential for improvement. With these two powers competing diplomatically and economically, what should we expect from future interactions?
In this episode, GJIA sits down with Dr. Ryan Hass. Dr. Hass delves into what comes next for the US and China, looking at the Trump Administration's outlook, the question of Taiwanese independence and defense, and potential competitive advantages the US could bolster. Going forward, US-China relations will undoubtedly make front-page news--so strengthen your understanding of current bilateral ties through this episode.
Dr. Ryan Hass is the Director of the John L. Thornton China Center at the Brookings Institute and the former Director for China, Taiwan, and Mongolian Affairs at the National Security Council.
