Trump-Xi Summit Quiz: What Can Realistically Be Achieved in Beijing (May 13-15, 2026)?
President Trump arrives in Beijing this week for meetings with Xi Jinping — the first U.S. presidential visit to China in nearly a decade. Amid tensions over trade, Taiwan, technology, and the Iran conflict, expectations are modest. Test yo...
王向伟最新专栏的中文翻译： 下周习近平在北京会见特朗普时，预计会聚焦贸易和台湾问题，但不会出现重大突破，博弈很可能持续贯穿2026年全年。
北京上周一(4月27号)决定阻止Meta以20亿美元收购中国的AI初创公司Manus，并不令人意外。中央政府早已公开调查此交易，并禁止该公司两位创始人离境。
初看之下，这一干预似乎会打击中国企业寻求外国资本和美国公司投资中国的热情。然而，深入观察就会发现，这正是中美商业关系“新常态”的缩影，尤其是在高风险的高科技领域，两国正陷入日益激烈的战略竞争。国家安全和技术自力更生如今 优先于纯粹的商业交易。
要理解其中的动态，不妨转换角色。想象一下，如果是一家美国知名AI初创公司被...
My latest #ThoughtoftheDayonChina: As Xi hosts Trump in Beijing next week, expect pragmatic trade deals and Taiwan pressure — with bargaining likely continuing through the rest of 2026

王向伟最新专栏的中文翻译：香港进一步融入国家发展大局之际，北京官员越来越以“自己人”的视角管理香港事务，好处显而易见，同时隐忧不断浮现…
在中国的政治语汇中，称某人为“自己人”远不止表达意识形态上的认同。它意味着更多大门可以打开，并可获得优待。但同时也暗示，“自己人”现在应遵守群体的规则——这些规则可能与他们过去所熟知的截然不同。
数十年来，这种心态塑造了国内政策。私营部门贡献了全国逾60%的GDP和逾80%的城镇就业，却长期被视为二等公民，不能与享有更大政策支持和更低息贷款的国企相比。只有在过去几年，中国领导层才开始宣称民企是“自己人”，以图重振信心。
如今，随着北京一再敦促香港进一步融入国家发展，大陆官...
My latest #ThoughtoftheDayonChina : As Beijing is increasingly treating Hong Kong as “one of us”, there are genuine benefits but also visible downsides.
In China’s political parlance, calling someone “one of us” is far more than an expression of ideological kinship. It signals that more doors can be opened, and preferential treatment extended. Yet it can also imply that “one of us” should n...
