As leaders of some 20 economies around the Asia-Pacific region are gathering in San Francisco, economic growth and how to ensure long term growth has become the focus of the meeting. Closely related to that topic is the upcoming summit between Chinese President Xi Jinping and his U.S. counterpart Joe Biden. What can we expect out of San Francisco? How does U.S. strategic competition affect economic performance in the region? Could we see the relationship between Beijing and Washington stabilized or even improved? Guests in this episode are Dr. Shao Yuqun, senior research fellow at the Shanghai Institutes of International Studies; Wang Dan, chief economist at Hang Seng Bank; Sean Stein, senior advisor in Covington's Public Policy Practice Group; and Anthony Chan, former chief economist at JPMorgan Chase.
