When Chinese President Xi Jinping met with President Trump earlier this month, US strikes in Syria overshadowed their encounter. But there's far too much at stake for US-China relations to stay quiet for long, from the possibility of a trade war, to the simmering question of North Korea, controversy in the South China Sea and competing global visions. 

Helping us break it all down are:

  • Elizabeth Wishnick, Professor of Political Science at Montclair State University and a Senior Research Scholar at the Weatherhead East Asian Institute at Columbia.
  • Ann Lee, author of the book, "What the U.S. Can Learn from China" and an adjunct professor at New York University.
