WEBINAR: Trump-Xi Summit & Prospects for U.S.-Chinese Relations

Date & Time: May 11, 2026 07:00 PM EDT

As the world faces epochal changes with the assaults on the UN order and in the wake of the strategic failure of his war on Iran, President Trump will travel to Beijing on May 14 for one of the most significant summit meetings as we pass from a hegemonic era to multipolarity. The outcome of the Xi-Trump summit will impact not only the U.S. and Chinese people, but almost everyone on the planet. Their negotiations will impact everything from military and trade competition to AI and Taiwan.

Plan to join Professor Zhiqun Zhu of Bucknell University and the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations to better understand the stakes of this Trump-Xi encounter, the ambitions and hopes of both governments as they approach these negotiations, dangers, and the best near- and medium-term policies for each nation to achieve mutually beneficial common security relations.

Professor Zhiqun Zhu,

A member of the National Committee on United States-China Relations, he is frequently quoted by international media on Chinese and East Asian affairs. He maintains a popular column for ThinkChina in Singapore.
