Speaking on CCTV, Carnegie’s Zhang Chuanjie explained that the benefit of the informal meeting in Sunnylands, California between Presidents Xi Jinping and Barack Obama is that “neither has any pressure to come up with an agreement.”

He predicted that cybersecurity will be an important point of discussion between the two leaders. Zhang suggested that both countries should send groups to work out “rules and regulations” to help improve cooperation on cybersecurity. Another commonality that the two countries should cooperate on is North Korea, since both have a vested interest in stability on the peninsula, he added.
