Professor Minxin Pei published an article on the significant decisions Chinese President Xi Jinping must make, which will direct China’s trajectory the decade to come. He wrote about Sino-American tensions, rising tariffs on Chinese imports by Trump, the forecasted tightening of U.S. controls on advanced technology, and the state of China’s fragile economy. He argued that Xi must reshape China’s growth model, shifting to a reliance on exports in household consumption. He also illustrated the major geopolitical decision Xi faces in moderating maritime claims to weaken U.S.-led partnerships that stand a threat to China. Lastly, he will have to favorably discover a way to end the war in Ukraine, while keeping President Trump happy.
