How Arab world should react to US-China power shift

US President Donald Trump’s state visit to China last week will go down in history as the moment the US finally acknowledged Beijing’s ascendancy as a global superpower. That acknowledgment does not need to be articulated in a formal statement; it can be clearly read in the subtext of diplomatic behavior, global perception and shifting media coverage. During the summit, Trump’s delegation — which included prominent American corporate leaders — engaged with President Xi Jinping not from a position of absolute global dictation, but through a lens of defensive pragmatism.
