President Trump and China’s President Xi are preparing to meet. Rush Doshi of the Council on Foreign Relations explains the current state of U.S.-China relations and what to expect from this summit.
The talks cover three major areas: cybersecurity, artificial intelligence (AI), and Taiwan.
Cybersecurity involves protecting computer systems from attacks. AI is technology that lets machines perform tasks that normally require human intelligence. Taiwan is a self-governed island that China claims as its own territory.
Each issue carries significant consequences for both countries and the wider world.
