> As “Trump-Xi 2.0” approaches, US-China competition is intensifying. BBC Chinese spoke with people on the streets of New York about who they think is gaining the upper hand, what they want the two leaders to discuss and how Americans view Xi Jinping and Donald Trump. Xi is returning to the White House after 11 years, while Trump will personally receive him. AI, trade, Iran and arms sales to Taiwan remain points of contention, with tensions putting pressure on ordinary people’s lives.
