\\nIn this episode on regional summitry, Nirmal Ghosh hosts Curtis Chin, chair of the Milken Institute\\u2019s operations in Asia and a former US Ambassador to the Asian Development Bank; and Murray Hiebert, senior associate at the Centre for Security and International Studies (CSIS) and also head of research at Bower Group Asia.\\xa0

\\n1:50 Not about breakthroughs or new agreements, but about these two leaders getting together and talking
\\n2:53 Fundamental positions did not change in Bali, and that was not a surprise
\\n3:29 Why some in China are saying self-reliance is good for them, if they are not able to depend on the US
\\n5:24 Little space between Republicans and Democrats in attitude and tone, on China\\xa0
\\n7:00 US Congress could pass the Taiwan Policy Act, which will again irritate Beijing
\\n12:00 One legacy of the G20, coupled with its chairmanship of Asean in 2023, will be to spotlight Indonesia - an important country that does not get due recognition globally
