Episode: Biden-Xi Takeaways, Decoupling, and Elite Misconceptions
Description: Shane Leary joins Miles Yu to discuss the major takeaways from Bidenβs meeting with Xi Jinping on the sidelines of APEC. They then turn to Xiβs efforts to curry favor with US-business executives, and whether this could stem the tide of decoupling. Finally, they discuss the curious republishing of a 1972 Foreign Affairs article by Barbara Tuchman entitled, βIf Mao Had Come to Washington,β and what this reveals about enduring misconceptions of China among the US foreign policy elite.
