When
U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping meet in
Beijing this week, “it will be a modern standoff with the unmistakable
overtones of single combat,” writes Kurt Campbell in a new Foreign Affairs essay.
“Each man comes to the table with remarkably few institutional
constraints, substantial personal latitude, and manifest ambition to
shape the next phase of the U.S.-Chinese relationship,” Campbell writes.
“In the end, the significance of the meeting will not lie in any
agreements reached, but rather in the signals it sends about the future
of U.S.-Chinese relations and the perceived standing of the two men.”
