President Xi Jinping and President Donald Trump are scheduled to meet in Beijing on May 14 and 15 for a summit meeting that is expected to cover a number outstanding issues including trade, security, Artificial Intelligence guardrails, Taiwan, and cross investment. Trump’s meeting with Xi has been anticipated for weeks as the two economic powers work to reduce trade tensions and new tariffs. Some analysts believe there is a chance for grand bargain between the leaders of the two most powerful countries in the world while other believe the gap between the two is so wide that a grand bargain is sheer wistful thinking.
Dean Wang Wen will help sort through this complicated road-map and give Polaris-Live audiences around the world his opinion about what China will want to get out of this critically important meeting and where there is the likelihood of room for compromise by China. Taiwan and the Iran war will loom large over the 2 leaders negotiations and Dean Wang Wen's view on how this thorny issue will be handled are eagerly awaited.
