Ties between China and the US took a hit under the Trump administration, as both sides clashed on a number of issues ranging from the handling of the coronavirus pandemic to trade and technology and Hong Kong’s national security law.

• Einar Tangen is a political and economic affairs commentator.
• Harlan Ullman is Chairman of the Killowen Group and Senior Advisor of the Atlantic Council.
• Yukon Huang is Senior Fellow in the Carnegie Asia Program.
