Analyst outlines uncertainties around China-US summit outcomes

SCMP Plus frames the discussion as an assessment of how the Xi-Trump summit could compare with expectations, amid ongoing US-China instability.

SCMP Economy published an interview with Scott Kennedy on the Xi-Trump summit and broader US-China instability.

Kennedy, identified as a senior adviser and trustee chair in Chinese business and economics at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, discusses how to characterize the summit outcomes versus what readers might have expected.

The outlet also notes Kennedy’s focus areas include China’s hi-tech drive, US-China relations and global economic governance, and positions the piece as early access for SCMP Plus readers in its Open Questions series.
