The Trump administration created a historic shift in US China policy that has gained support in foreign policy circles far and wide. Even the Biden administration, which vowed to change or remove many of the Trump administration's policies once in office, has largely kept Trump's China policy in place. In this episode of China Unscripted, we discuss what Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo did to US china policy that was so radical at the time, how US and China views on their relationship differ, and why China so tightly controls the movement of its people. Joining us in this episode is Dr. Miles Yu, former principal policy and planning advisor to former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, the director of the China Center at Hudson Institute, visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution, and senior fellow at the Project 49 Institute.
