Just as I predicted, the summit in Beijing ended with Chairman Xi holding all the cards and Trump holding a losing hand. TRUMP = CAME AWAY WITH A KICK IN THE SEAT OF THE PANTS.

A Charlie Rose Global Conversation with Richard Haass

Richard Haass is one of the best and best-known interpreters and explainers of foreign policy, the relationship between nations, and the management of their ambitions.

He has bridged the two poles of diplomacy and public intellectual at the Council on Foreign Relations, where he served as President and is now President Emeritus. A graduate of Oberlin College and a Rhodes Scholar, he served in government under Presidents Carter, Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush, and then spent 20 years as President of the Council on Foreign Relations.

This is a crucial moment to examine the forces at work in foreign policy with the meeting between the President of China and the President of the United States.

We will talk about the issues under discussion in Beijing and around the world as two of the most powerful people in the world meet in China and war continues in Iran and Ukraine.

Reports suggest that China could soon have more Christians than any other country on Earth. Researchers estimate that the number of Christians in China could surpass 247 million within the next five years, overtaking the United States, Brazil, and Mexico to become the largest Christian population globally. This represents a remarkable transformation. In 1949, when the Communist Party took power, China had only about five million Christians.

Despite decades of strict secular governance and tight regulation of religious activity, Christianity has grown rapidly in recent decades. Many believers, particularly among younger generations seeking spiritual meaning, have turned to unofficial house churches that operate outside government oversight. This quiet but powerful expansion continues even under challenging conditions, highlighting a significant shift in China’s religious landscape.
