Election Intrigue: Inside the Dem's China Strategy
This week, we dive into what a Democrat win in November could mean for US-China relations. Harris has signaled she will likely continue down the path that President Joe Biden carved out over the past four years when it comes to Beijing but with a VP pick that has been to China nearly 30 times since the late 80s, there's certainly intrigue on if and what could shift.

Election Intrigue: Trumping Trade
This week, we dive into what a potential Trump 2.0 administration could mean for US-China relations. Former President Donald Trump set the tone for hawkish China policies out of Washington, very much continued by sitting President Joe Biden. So, what would a Republican ticket look to accelerate if they win in November? You heard reported thoughts here first, from a diplomat who was in China for Trump 1.0 even (John).
