## Resource

As trade tensions simmer and inflationary pressures reshape the global economy, President Trump has arrived in Beijing for a high-stakes summit with President Xi Jinping. With American interests hanging in the balance, understanding the internal calculus of the CCP is more critical than ever. One individual deeply familiar with China’s decision-making process is former People's Liberation Army Colonel and Senior Fellow at the Center for International Security and Strategy, Zhou Bo. He spoke to Bret to share the Chinese perspective on critical issues like the Iran war and Taiwanese independence, as well as where he sees U.S-China relations going in the future.
