Ralph Winnie speaks to France 24 about the tense remarks exchanged between high-level US and Chinese officials in Anchorage on March 18. What was initially meant to be a set of opening remarks to kick off the two-day meeting turned into a public exchange of barbs and criticisms. Director Winnie analyzes what the exchange reflects about the stance of the new Biden administration and the Xi administration, as well as the implications for future cooperation and tensions.
