🇺🇸🇨🇳 The Beijing summit produced headlines. Whether it produced results is a different question. Here’s what we know so far: •⁠ ⁠Xi agreed to order 200 Boeing jets. •⁠ ⁠China will reportedly buy double-digit billions in U.S. agricultural goods annually for 3 years. •⁠ ⁠Beef export licenses restored. •⁠ ⁠A $30 billion Board of Trade in non-sensitive goods still being negotiated. On chips, Nvidia's H200 sales to Chinese firms are now a "sovereign decision" for Beijing, meaning the ball is in China's court. Elon, Tim Cook, and Jensen Huang all walked out of the Great Hall calling it "wonderful" and "productive." Nobody said what specifically was achieved. Here's the problem: Trump's 2017 China visit produced $250 billion in agreements, an $84 billion energy investment in West Virginia, a $43 billion LNG deal in Alaska. None of it materialized. •⁠ ⁠Rare earths didn't get resolved. •⁠ ⁠China's approval rate for export licenses sits at 25% for applicants. •⁠ ⁠The trade truce from October expires later this year. •⁠ ⁠The Taiwan red line is still live. •⁠ ⁠Export controls are still on the table. Both sides left the summit calling it a win. That's usually the first sign nothing binding happened. Source: CNN
