US President Donald Trump is preparing for his first face-to-face meeting with the Chinese leader Xi Jingping. It's a high stakes encounter upon which billions of dollars of trade depend. President Trump has said he believes the massive trade imbalance between the two nations is due to China unfairly holding down the value of its currency to make its products artificially cheap. The 大象传媒's Alex Ritson asked economist Irwin Stelzer, from the Hudson Institute in Washington DC, if the world could expect an 'about face' from President Trump?
