The upcoming summit between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping in Beijing is officially about trade, tariffs, artificial intelligence, Iran, Taiwan, and strategic stability. But for countries like Bangladesh, the meeting represents something much larger: the emergence of a new global order — possibly even a Group of Two (G2) — in which economics, technology, and geopolitics are becoming increasingly inseparable.
At first glance, Bangladesh appears distant from the tensions dominating the summit agenda. It is not a military power, it is not directly involved in the Taiwan dispute, and it will certainly not be a principal actor in the new chapter of US-China rivalry.
