Trump–Xi Meet: A Tactical Truce or New Rules for Asia, & where does India fit?

Donald Trump and Xi Jinping meet in Washington on 24 September at a consequential moment for US–China relations. Trade, technology, critical minerals and strategic competition are all on the table — but the larger question is whether Washington and Beijing are moving towards a new understanding of how to manage their rivalry. In this episode of Worldview with Swasti, ThePrint Consulting Editor Dr Swasti Rao speaks to Kevin Lee about what Trump and Xi may want from the summit, the state of China’s economy, and whether economic pressures are changing Beijing’s foreign-policy choices. The conversation also looks beyond the bilateral relationship: China’s growing clean-tech strength, its economic and strategic engagement across Asia, and the implications for India. As the world watches Trump and Xi, what kind of US–China relationship is emerging — confrontation, coexistence, transactional accommodation, or some combination of all three? #TrumpXi #TrumpXiSummit G2 #DonaldTrump #XiJinping #USChina #China #IndiaChina #IndiaUS #Geopolitics #ChinaEconomy #IndoPacific #Asia #CleanTech #CriticalMinerals #ThePrint #WorldviewWithSwasti #ThePrintWorldView --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0:00 Ad and Guest Intro 2:51 Trump-Xi Summit— Reset or Truce ? 5:50 Implications of ‘Constructive Strategic Stability’ between US and China 8:47 How does the US China G2 Dynamic impact the choices of the Middle powers 13:20 Reality behind slow down of Chinese economy ? 17:27 How does a slowing Chinese economy at home impact Chinese economic statecraft abroad ? 21:28 Impact of Gulf energy Crisis on China and difference in Chinese and US responses 26:26 — Strategy of Pragmatic Compartmentalisation to manage economic asymmetry with China wrt India 33:58 How should India address Non Tariff Barrier from China that impedes Indian Exports 39:45 What kind of Asian Order is emerging from this G2 Bipolarity? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exclusive content, special privileges & more – Subscribe to ThePrint for Special benefits: https://tinyurl.com/4ymm9wh5 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with ThePrint » Subscribe to ThePrint: https://tinyurl.com/4ymm9wh5 » Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/3nCMpht » Like us on Facebook:   / theprintindia   » Tweet us on Twitter:   / theprintindia   » Follow us on Instagram:   / theprintindia   » Find us on LinkedIn :   / theprint   » Subscribe to ThePrint on Telegram: https://t.me/ThePrintIndia » Find us on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2NMVlnB » Find us on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3pEOta8
