In a highly anticipated meeting, US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are set to come face-to-face in a summit that promises to be a test of diplomatic fire.

But with expectations running high and the stakes so high, can Trump and Xi find a way to bridge their differences and chart a new course for US-China relations?
