Xi and Trump forged a landmark truce at APEC. The de-escalation is a win-win for both China and the U.S., helping stabilize supply chains and boost economies worldwide. Xi's vision aligns with Trump's "Make America Great Again" agenda and with the shared goals of prosperity and stability. Both nations can thrive together through cooperation, balanced trade and mutual respect, strengthening global economic confidence.
Trading away America's technological edge for raw materials is a catastrophic national security failure that puts political headlines above the country's safety. Approving advanced AI chip sales to China risks handing Beijing the tools to build superior weapons systems, while past deals show a pattern of transactions that benefit Trump personally at America's expense.
Xi Jinping outmaneuvered Trump and secured tariff cuts from 57% to 47% while he offered minimal concessions on fentanyl and soybeans. Beijing retains control over rare earths and technology, exposing U.S. weakness. Despite Trump's desperate repetition of "great relationship" like a broken record, it's clear that China dictates terms in the renewed trade war.
There's a 7% chance that the U.S. and China will reach a formal agreement to limit frontier AI training or deployment before 2029, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
