Welcome to Raging Moderates. I'm Scott Galloway. Jess is off today on her book tour, but we have a great guest joining us at exactly the right moment, Alice Hahn, the former host of China Decode, here to help us break down Trump and she's Big Summit. Alice, welcome back to the show.
Thanks, Scott. Great to be on this side.
So before we get started, make sure to subscribe to support the show. All right, let's bust into it. President Trump is hosting Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington for Xi's first US state visit in nearly a decade. The two leaders had a lot on the table tariffs, AI, Taiwan, rare earths, and the broader question of whether the US and China can actually manage their rivalry. Ahead of She's arrival, Treasury Secretary Scott Bassant said that the two countries have extended their trade truce until January. Trump personally welcomed She at Andrews, the first U.S. president president since JFK to receive a foreign counterpart there. There's a literal red carpet rolled out, a state dinner, the full diplomatic spectacle.
But underneath all the pageantry are many more consequential questions. Alice. Let's start uh with the summit itself. Give us your high level thoughts um on what you think she actually wanted to get out of this trip. What and also what what do you think Trump is looking for?
Well, firstly, thanks so much, Scott. It's great to be here. I want to put this in context. This is the second state visit that she has taken to America. The first was in twenty fifteen when uh President Obama was in the White House. And that he's the only Chinese president in history to have two state visits uh under his leadership. This is a again, is to reiterate how important symbolic. This visit is. My sense, and I just actually watched his speech in the White House, is that he came with three main items on the agenda. Number one, he does want an i an extension or rather a delay on the 14 billion arm sales that was originally intended for Taiwan. This has become, I think, a big issue in China. Not spoken about uh about as much in the US context, but certainly in China, it's a prime uh issue.
Number two, Is an extension which he did get rather on rare earths and tariffs. Scott Besson just announced the other day we're going to get a two-month extension on those issues. And number three is the AI issue, which came up more in She's speech than Trump's. She was talking about the fact that both countries are leaders in AI and that they have a both the capabilities and responsibilities to work together, uh, to put in controls in place for. For humanity. I think that is quite significant for Xi to come out and say that during his speech. Again, I think this is going to be one of the top issues for the Chinese. For Trump, it's a bit more simple. And here I really referred to the geopolitical impulse that Trump has.
He's had, he hasn't had a great year, as you know, Scott, on the foreign policy front.
