Jan Selkowitz is a veteran China watcher. There is no more important foreign affairs issue facing this administration than our complex relationship with Xi Jinping and China. Are we friends or enemies? Can we cooperate on important technology issues like Artificial intelligence, or are we headed into a Cold War? What is the future of Taiwan? How aggressively should we be providing them with military resources? What are China’s challenges going forward? How is their Belt and Road initiative doing? Some Geopolitical commentators predict with their aging demographics, China’s days as a world power will be over in the next decade. Others strongly disagree.
