U.S.-China Economic Relations in the Next Decade: Part1 Panel

The casual style of the summit at the Sunnylands estate, without much diplomatic protocol, offers a unique opportunity, writes Shen Dingli. Instead of mutual suspicion, China and the US should jointly open a new window at Sunnylands and breathe the air of freshly discovered trust.

The meeting between the American and Chinese presidents in June is the most important summit meeting on the diplomatic calendar this year, writes David Shambaugh.

While the U.S. pivot to Asia’s impact on Sino-U.S. relations receives widespread attention, a significant risk to bilateral relations can be seen through China’s interventions in Latin America. As Fernando Menéndez explains, China is creating a counterbalance to U.S. actions in the Asia-Pacific by heavily investing in countries like Brazil and Venezuela.

China and the United States of America have recently announced almost simultaneously the June 7-8 summit between President Xi Jinping and President Barack Obama at the Annenberg estate at Rancho Mirage, California, which has caught worldwide attention. No doubt, the forthcoming summit will have extraordinary importance to China-US relationship and to world stability and development.

Chinese President Xi Jinping will visit Trinidad and Tobago, Costa Rica and Mexico and hold a meeting with US President Barack Obama at Sunnylands, the Walter and Leonore Annenberg Estate in California. This will be a new important step in the full swing of Chinese diplomacy since the new leadership took office.
