Graham Allison: China-U.S. ties would get better under Trump administration

During the Munich Security Conference in Germany, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held a meeting with Harvard University professor Graham Allison. Following their discussion, CGTN host Xu Qinduo sat down with Allison for an insightful exchange on the future of China-U.S. relations. Expressing optimism about the trajectory of bilateral ties, Allison highlighted a notable contrast in leadership approaches. He noted that while former U.S. President Joe Biden prioritized strategic competition, Donald Trump has advocated for a more pragmatic, business-like dynamic between the two nations. According to Allison, Trump’s perspective frames the relationship as one where China and the U.S. can coexist through competition in certain sectors, manage disagreements constructively, and still find common ground for collaboration.
