On this episode of Reaganism, Roger sits down with AEI's Dustin Walker to examine the Trump–Xi summit and the broader U.S.–China strategic competition. Dustin draws upon his essay drafted for the Reagan Institute Strategy Group and argues that the current period of “strategic stability” is essentially a truce, and warns that China is using the time to reduce its reliance on the United States while maintaining U.S. dependencies. They discuss the summit’s limited outcomes, Taiwan and delayed arms sales, rare-earth supply chains, China’s support for Iran and Russia, U.S. alliances, and instability within the Chinese military. Dustin's central concern is that the United States may not be using this pause effectively to strengthen its position and prepare for long-term competition.
