Evan Feigenbaum on the Future of U.S.-China Relations

Thought Leader: Evan Feigenbaum

Evan Feigenbaum joined CNBC’s Squawk Box Asia to examine the evolving relationship between the United States and China as economic, technological, and security concerns become increasingly intertwined. Feigenbaum discussed how the space for collaboration between the two countries has narrowed as more areas of the bilateral relationship are viewed through a national-security lens, complicating opportunities for cooperation between the world’s two largest economies.

The conversation also looked ahead to meetings between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping and considered how the Trump administration’s transactional approach to the relationship could shape negotiations with Beijing. The discussion comes amid broader uncertainty about U.S.-China relations and the balance between economic engagement, strategic competition, and security interests across Asia.

As Vice President for Studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Feigenbaum brings extensive experience spanning government, academia, think tanks, and the private sector. A former U.S. deputy assistant secretary of state who advised senior U.S. officials on Asia, he provides audiences with valuable context for understanding China, U.S.-China relations, geopolitics, economic strategy, and the forces reshaping Asia and the global economy.
