US-China: Grand bargain or collision course?

This event hosted by UK think tank Chatham House will discuss the implications of a second Trump administration on US-China geopolitical competition.

The US and China are vying for global influence and economic and technological dominance. Incoming US President Donald Trump has emphasized his desire to prioritise US economic and national security interests.

Key questions this event will consider include:

• How will the second Trump administration approach its economic and security relationship with China?
• How will the US respond to China’s increasing influence in multilateral organisations and China’s growing global development plans?
• What role will there be for cooperation with the US’s partners and allies in the region? Will existing regional and trilateral initiatives continue to be central to the U.S. Indo Pacific strategy?
