Great analysis from one of my oldest friends. " To be clear, Beijing’s confidence in its own rising stature in the international system may turn out to be as aspirational as its view of an America fading into the sunset is wishful thinking. But either way, as Trump lands in Beijing, in addition to enjoying ingratiating hospitality, he is going to encounter Chinese resolve on a range of issues of vital importance to US citizens and to many others around the world."
