On today’s show Andrew and Bill with Wang Yi’s visit to South Korea this week, including the fortunate timing for the PRC in the wake of President Trump’s decision to scale back joint US-ROK exercises, PRC concerns around North Korea, and dynamics on the peninsula that are shifting in ways that aren’t entirely clear. Then: Zhu Rongji’s legacy, a week of nostalgia for the Zhu/Jiang era, and the uncertain future of the Linden Centre after a poignant Financial Times piece two weeks ago. At the end: Catching up on US-China news from the break, including thoughts and questions ahead of Xi’s visit to D.C., a draft plan to make American AI partners choose between the US and China, China’s continued reliance on Nvidia hardware, the White House highlights transshipment concerns, the DOW asks higher education for more info on foreign research, and an emailer who asks about the New York Times’ reporting on PRC programs to surveil foreigners.
