Inside China: Former Diplomat and Hostage Michael Kovrig Breaks Down the Xi-Trump Summit

The FPA hosts Michael Kovrig to discuss the Xi/Trump summit with the unique inside view of China that his 1,009 days as a prisoner/hostage gives him. He assesses the tenuous results of Trump's visit to Beijing and the implications of Carney’s previous visit the Canadian "Middle Powers” initiative and discusses the PRC’s relentless campaign of diplomatic attrition to frame the agenda in Beijing’s terms. And of course we discussed the imprisonment of Jimmy Lai and Western silence about it!
