Chinese leader Xi Jinping opened Wednesday’s high-stakes meeting with President Trump by ominously raising the prospect of a future war between the US and China. Xi referenced a geopolitical concept known as the Thucydides trap, or the risks that arise when an emerging power challenges a stronger, more established power. “The whole world is watching our meeting,” Xi began inside Beijing’s Great Hall of the People, with Trump seated across the table.
