NEW YORK, January 18, 2017 — Daniel Rosen, co-founder of the Rhodium Group, and Orville Schell, Arthur Ross director of the Center on U.S.-China Relations at Asia Society in New York, discuss what Trump’s presidency could mean for the future of U.S.-China relations. (1 hr., 12 min.))

With the inauguration of the 45th President of the United States fast approaching, nominations for most of the highest cabinet appointments and many senior staff positions announced, and months of frenetic media coverage of President-Elect Donald Trump's transition team behind us, it is worth assessing how Trump’s world view and that of his advisors is likely to shape American policy toward China. By establishing contact with the Taiwanese leader and openly questioning the “One China” policy, Trump has already signaled that he is willing to turn the U.S.-China relationship as we know it on its head. Daniel Rosen, co-founder of the Rhodium Group, and Arthur Ross Director of the Center on U.S.-China Relations Orville Schell will discuss what it all means for the future of U.S.-China relations.
