US and China: Where Will They Land?

Angela Zhang, AGI Senior Fellow, spoke at the World Economic Forum 2026 on the US-China relationship.

Highlighting the complexities and misperceptions on both sides, she emphasized the need for a framework to guide cooperation, particularly on issues like fentanyl and investment. While acknowledging potential for stability through continuous dialogue and strategic reassurance, Zhang pointed out the challenges stemming from domestic priorities influencing global issues and the lack of clear parameters for cooperation. She underscored that, despite hopes for progress, many issues remain unresolved, requiring careful navigation to maintain stability in this critical bilateral relationship.
