Three Hot Issues Xi and Trump Should Be Discussing • #GoodGenerals

Donald Trump and Xi Jinping are heading into another consequential phase of US–China engagement, with trade, technology and security tensions all in play. In this episode of #GoodGenerals, the panel examines three major issues shaping the relationship between Washington and Beijing: 1. Trade & Economic Competition — tariffs, market access, agricultural purchases and persistent trade imbalances remain active points of negotiation. Recent US–China talks have again focused on possible tariff reductions and unresolved trade commitments. 2. AI, Chips & Technology — artificial intelligence has emerged as a major strategic issue, including advanced semiconductor access, export controls, AI safety and the military risks of autonomous systems. The US has proposed a bilateral mechanism for handling serious AI-related incidents. 3. Taiwan & Indo-Pacific Security — tensions across the Taiwan Strait remain an important part of the wider US–China relationship, alongside military deployments, arms sales and concerns over escalation. What can Trump and Xi realistically achieve, and where could competition between the world’s two largest powers intensify? #Trump #XiJinping #China #USA #USChina #Taiwan #ArtificialIntelligence #TradeWar #Geopolitics #GoodGenerals #PGurus
