Reinvigorating U.S.-China Exchanges

This chapter examines the potential revival of people-to-people exchanges between the U.S. and China in the wake of post-COVID challenges, emphasizing an initiative to host 50,000 American youths in China. It discusses the impact of renewed dialogue on future U.S.-China relations, especially among younger generations, while addressing complex issues surrounding nationalism and cooperation on urgent matters like climate change. The chapter also scrutinizes the implications of Donald Trump's re-election on these dynamics, particularly regarding Taiwan and the risks of prioritizing arms sales over genuine defense support.
