• China Has Been Building Influence for Years. How Will Trump Respond?

  While China has spent the past 12 years growing its friend circle through its $1 trillion Belt and Road infrastructure program, the U.S. has struggled to come up with a comprehensive response.

In the final episode of our three-part series, “Building Influence,” WSJ reporter Vera Bergengruen, Harvard Kennedy School’s Rana Mitter and the Council on Foreign Relations’ David Sacks discuss how the U.S. has tried to push back on Beijing's expanding footprint so far, and former Trump administration officials J.
