The recent summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping was characterized by modest achievements, despite both leaders labeling it a success. Notably, China pledged to purchase $17 billion worth of U.S. agricultural products annually through 2028 and agreed to buy 200 Boeing aircraft. However, significant issues such as the ongoing trade war, Taiwan, and the situation with Iran remain largely unaddressed, leading to a muted market reaction. While there are indications that the U.S. may have authorized Nvidia to export its H200 chips to China, formal approval from Beijing is still pending. Economic indicators from China show a slowdown, with industrial production growth at 4.1% and retail sales growth dropping to 0.2%, suggesting that China may be motivated to seek cooperation. Looking ahead, Xi is expected to visit Washington on September 24, which could further influence U.S.-China relations.
