In this episode of The Impossible State, we will discuss the recent reset in China–North Korea relations and what the upcoming Trump–Xi summit could mean for North Korea and the Korean Peninsula. Dr. Victor Cha will be joined by Dr. Bonny Lin of the China Power Project at CSIS and Mr. Sydney Seiler of the Korea Chair at CSIS to unpack these developments and their broader implications for the region.
