Trump. Xi. Beijing. The first US presidential visit to China in nearly a decade, and the world was watching.

Kishore Mahbubani, Distinguished Fellow at the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore, former Singapore Ambassador to the United Nations and one of Asia's most influential foreign policy thinkers, joins Lynlee Foo to make sense of what actually happened.
