'China cannot change US, nor can US change China' — Nelson Wong

Donald Trump and Xi Jinping are set to meet in Beijing, with major global issues expected to dominate the agenda — from tariffs and technology to Taiwan and Tehran.

Nelson Wong, Vice Chairman of the Shanghai Center for RimPac and International Studies and a Valdai Club expert, says expectations should be realistic. He argues that the meeting is unlikely to resolve every dispute in just two days, but could signal whether Washington is ready to move away from a zero-sum approach to China.
