Because the China "experts" are out in force let's go over this and make simple for our intellectual superiors. I regularly get asked "what book should I read to understand China?" and I always say watch mob movies. They look very puzzled and then I explain: China and the CCP don't operate under a system most normal people can relate to. You want to send a message? You put a horse head in the bed, put one between the eyes, make them an offer they can't refuse. Have I made myself clear? Why do I mention this in light of geopolitical events? Taiwan arm sales don't matter because everybody knows if the PLA moves on Taiwan, Taiwan won't be the deciding factor. So when Trump lands in Beijing he will be able to scroll through pictures on his phone of the Ayatollah, Maduro, and others in his group chat with Xi. Trump doesn't even need to say anything the message is very clear. I guarantee, the PLA is studying everything in Iran and Venezuela very closely. Trump has totally flipped the board and sent a very clear message to Xi. The words literally don't matter. This is the geopolitical equivalent of the horsehead in the bed.
