Führt Xi Trump vor? | Der Trump Effekt #57 | auslandsjournal - der Podcast

The upcoming state visit of US President Donald Trump to Beijing marks a critical phase in relations with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The meeting on Thursday will focus on the rivalry for technological supremacy and the security status of Taiwan. Elisabeth Schmidt, Elmar Theveßen, and Ulf Röller discuss how protocol-obsessed Beijing might react to the unpredictable US president and who actually holds the upper hand in this duel of the giants. The discussion centers on Taiwan's strategic "red line," the battle for AI chips and rare earth elements, and the risk for Europe and its Asian partners of being caught in the crossfire between these two superpowers. An episode about the reshaping of global power dynamics and the end of diplomatic predictability. This episode was recorded on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, at 2:00 PM.
