Trump versus Xi: Who will win the battle of the superpowers in Beijing?

A US President has not been to China since Donald Trump’s last trip nine years ago, so what will happen when Xi Jinping rolls out the red carpet for him again?

Richard also details some of his reporting in the West Bank, in light of the New York Times investigation which alleges Israeli forces committed crimes against Palestinians. Some details of this story may be upsetting. You can watch Richard’s full report from 2023 here. And read Kristoff’s NYT piece here.
