00:00U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping is set for talks on Thursday and Friday in Trump's
00:08first trip to China since 2017.
00:10The leaders of the world's two largest economies will attempt to stabilize ties strained by trade, the U.S. and
00:17Israeli war with Iran, and nuclear weapons.
00:20Alejandro Reyes, from the University of Hong Kong's Department of Politics and Public Administration, says it's an important summit for
00:27both leaders.
00:28Not just the geopolitics, world geopolitics, but also in the global economy.
00:35Here is what U.S. officials say is on the agenda.
00:39China maintains ties with Iran and remains a major consumer of its oil exports.
00:44Trump has been leaning on China to use its influence to push Tehran to make a deal with Washington,
00:50and end the ongoing conflict that began when the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran in late February.
00:56But Trump may be overestimating China's global influence.
01:00So the idea that Iran, that Tehran would sort of take notes from Beijing and do whatever Beijing wants it
01:08to do is really not a way to understand that relationship.
01:14Xi, meanwhile, is frustrated with Washington over Taiwan.
01:17The U.S. remains the most important international backer and arms supplier for the democratically governed island, which Beijing claims
01:25as its own Chinese territory.
01:26China has ramped up its military presence near Taiwan in recent years, but U.S. policy will not change, an
01:33official said.
01:35The U.S. and China are expected to agree to forums to facilitate mutual trade and investment,
01:41while China is expected to announce purchases related to Boeing airplanes, American agriculture and energy, the officials said.
01:48The two countries will also discuss lengthening a truce in their trade war that will allow rare earth minerals to
01:55flow from China to the U.S.,
01:57though it is not clear if that agreement will be extended this week.
02:02The Trump aides expressed increasing concern about advanced artificial intelligence models being developed in China.
02:08They believe the two sides need a channel of communication to avoid conflicts arising from their use.
02:16Washington has also long hoped to open up talks with Beijing about nuclear weapons, though China remains reluctant to discuss
02:24its arsenal.
02:25Officials say China has made clear they have no interest in discussing nuclear arms controls.
