Overview

It may be that, during the seven hours they spent together in China, Obama and Xi reached new understandings, found new momentum, or established a new style that can set the U.S. and China on a more constructive path. But 2014 was a hard slog for both countries prior to the APEC meetings. Mutual mistrust increased throughout the year, starting from a low baseline, due to conflicts in the East and South China Seas, protests in Hong Kong, mutual recriminations in Singapore, punishment of American companies and journalists in Beijing, and cyber attacks nearly everywhere.

Join us for a look at the year that was, from both Chinese and American points of view (with notes on the outlook for pangolins).
