From cybersecurity to AI to Taiwan, what's at stake in Trump's summit with Xi

Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, leaders of the world's two superpowers, are set to meet in the United States this week. This marks Xi's first state visit to the US in over a decade. The last time Chinese President Barack Obama hosted Xi in Washington in 2015, the discussion topics included cybercrime, technology, climate change, and human rights.

However, the star of the 2015 event was Ne-Yo, who serenaded Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan, at the state dinner. This time around, Xi is meeting with Donald Trump, who has significantly altered the global order and redefined the US-China relationship.

Here are five key areas to watch during this week's US-China summit:

1. Technological safety: Both leaders could discuss issues related to the safety and security of technology in the digital age.

2. US-China trade ties: Trade relations between the two countries are a major point of contention. Trump and Xi may touch upon the current state of their trade ties and potential future strategies.

3. Climate crisis: While climate change was a prominent issue on the agenda during Obama's tenure, it remains a topic of interest. It remains to be seen if Trump and Xi will address the climate emergency during their summit.

4. Human rights: Human rights have been a contentious issue in US-China relations. The meeting may provide an opportunity for Trump and Xi to discuss their differing views on human rights.

5. The state of the US-China relationship: Given the significant changes in the global landscape since the last state visit by Obama, the current state of the US-China relationship will be an important topic of discussion.
