The Summit with More at Stake Than You Think (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Summits between American and Chinese leaders often seem to mark turning points in international politics. In the 2013 meeting in the Sunnylands, the freshly installed Xi Jinping mollified Barack Obama by promising to stop his regime's hacking campaign. After breaking that promise, in 2016 Beijing denied Obama a staircase for Air Force One and forced him to exit "the ass of the plane" rather than get the normal red carpet. Last year's showdown in Busan partly halted the trade war, and this year's

The power plant seems to have been a relatively minor one, so little damag
The Defense Never Rests (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Donald Trump's surprise announcement—ordering the Pentagon to downgrade a major training exercise with South Korea—raised concerns on both sides of the Pacific this week. Some are unnerved by the president's statement that this decision is "based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of North Korea," since the implications are unclear.
