“The US president has arrived in Beijing to much pomp and ceremony. Iran, Taiwan, trade, AI and drugs look set to dominate talks at the summit”
What appears to be emerging from the Beijing Summit is a concerted Chinese effort to manage and constrain Donald Trump using bureaucracy and process. The Board of Trade and Board of Investment will constrain Trump's arbitrary imposition of tariffs. The entourage of billionaires are little more...
