The Big Story: Trump-Xi Summit wraps up, but who really won in Beijing?

US President Donald Trump has officially departed Beijing, closing out a tense two-day summit with Xi Jinping that both Washington and Beijing are already branding as historic. Trump is calling the visit “very successful,” while Xi is positioning it as a defining moment in US-China ties. But beyond the grand optics and diplomatic theatre, this meeting tackled some of the world’s biggest flashpoints, from trade, energy and Iran to Taiwan and the future of the Strait of Hormuz. So what was genuinely accomplished behind closed doors? Was this a meaningful reset between two rival superpowers, or simply carefully staged diplomacy? And in the end, who truly leaves Beijing with the stronger hand? On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr. Oh Ei Sun, Principal Adviser at Pacific Research Center of Malaysia and Senior Fellow at Singapore Institute of International Affairs, to find out more.  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
