TRUMP IN BEIJING: STABILITY SUMMIT, NOT BREAKTHROUGH
Trump is on the ground in China. The delegation is massive. The agenda is packed. But don't confuse attendance with agreement. This is a summit about managing tensions – not resolving them.
THE AGENDA – US "5B" vs CHINA "3T"
US Priorities:
- Boeing: 500+ 737 MAX jets – largest order in history possible
- Agriculture: soybeans, beef, pork – expected commitments
- Board of Trade: new bilateral mechanism – likely announcement
- LNG shipments: first direct cargo in 16 months – arriving June
- Iran: China's leverage over Tehran – delicate but central
China Priorities:
- Taiwan: push for clearer one-China language – no breakthrough expected
- Tariffs: ease 47-57% duties – partial relief possible
- Technology: relax export controls – narrow progress, no semiconductor deal
WHAT IS NOT ON THE TABLE
- No semiconductor export control rollback
- No Taiwan status resolution
- No critical minerals agreement
- No technology decoupling reversal
THE DELEGATION
Confirmed: Musk, Cook, Ortberg, Fink, Schwarzman, plus Meta, Qualcomm, Visa, Mastercard, Goldman, Citi CEOs
Not invited: Nvidia's Jensen Huang – chips are not up for negotiation
THE BOTTOM LINE
Analysts universally agree this is a "risk control" summit. The base case is an extension of the October 2025 trade truce, a Boeing order, agricultural purchases, and managed language on Taiwan and Iran.
No news is the bullish news.
