In the third of our pre-election series we look at America and... China. Click here to subscribe to our channel 👉🏽 https://bbc.in/3VyyriM The United States and China have had a turbulent history. In recent years, diplomatic relations between the world's two largest economies reached what many observers described as a new low, and despite some growing signs of stability, the future remains uncertain. So, how might this precarious situation be impacted by the upcoming US election? For the latest episode in this special series, Sumi Somaskanda is joined by the BBC's China correspondent Laura Bicker, and our business correspondent Michelle Fleury. They tackle big issues from trade and the economy, to defence and national security, and consider what victory for either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump could mean for the ongoing Sino-American relationship. 00:00 Introduction 01:30 Chinese media attention on the election 02:12 Current US-China relations 03:54 Are US voters concerned about relationship? 04:54 President Xi Jinping's views on the United States 06:21 The two largest economies in the world 07:32 What is the trade deficit? 08:49 A second 'China shock'? 09:56 How Trump and Harris would approach China relationship 11:04 Taiwan 13:44 How security concerns change the relationship 15:08 How much are Harris and Trump talking about China? 15:39 Do Chinese authorities have a preference between Trump and Harris? 16:54 Influence of big business on the relationship 17:21 'The most consequential relationship in the world' Watch more episodes of The Global Story here 👉🏽 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz_B0PFGIn4dvK8UQS79GwGLDl94Z3gkt You can listen to more episodes of The Global Story here.
