Speaking on CCTV’s Closer to China with R.L. Kuhn, Carnegie’s Douglas H. Paal discussed the outcomes of Chinese president Xi Jinping’s visit to the United States. Paal said that Xi conveyed to Chinese audiences that he could handle China’s most important bilateral relationship and reassured U.S. counterparts that Beijing understands contentious issues and will not ignore them. In addition, Xi’s time in Seattle was aimed at mending China’s ties with the U.S. business community, where support for China had been eroding. Paal called the agreement on cybersecurity the Xi-Obama summit’s core achievement but stressed that the U.S. and China have not agreed on China’s definition of “a new type of major power relationship,” which includes respect for self-identified “core interests.”
