Chinese media are speculating about potential figures who could act as intermediaries to ease U.S.–China tensions, akin to a “new Henry Kissinger.” Suggested names include Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman, former U.S. climate envoy John Kerry, retired diplomat Susan Thornton, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, known for his business ties in China and recent alignment with Trump.
Senior fellow at the Center for Security Policy Grant Newsham discusses the implications of these choices.
