Can China and the US avoid the Thucydides Trap?

The recent meeting between President Xi Jinping and President Donald Trump in Beijing has put forward a new core framework for China-US ties – a "constructive relationship of strategic stability," where both sides intend to regulate competition and lower conflict risks.

And amid increasing geopolitical uncertainties, what kind of international order does Washington aim to forge?

The guest in this episode of Dialogue is Daniel Russel, vice president for International Security and Diplomacy at the Asia Society Policy Institute, and former US Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs.
