President Trump came home from China on May 15 hauling trade deals and stability. But how did Beijing read the visit? On this episode of The Beijing Brief, Ryan Hass sits down with China Center scholars Patricia Kim, Kyle Chan, and Jon Czin to unpack what the summit really means for the future of the relationship.
CZIN: I think that if Beijing felt good on Friday when President Trump was wheels up, I actually think that they probably feel better by the end of the weekend.
