## Resource

President Trump heads to a major summit with Chinas Xi Jinping, aiming for deals on tech, trade, and potentially Taiwan. He brings Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who recently secured approval for selling high-powered AI chips to China. This marks a significant shift from past Republican stance on Beijing. Trumps team has replaced traditional China hawks with advisors who support closer ties over confrontation, even lobbying against stricter chip export rules. Despite the Pentagon labeling China as the main pacing threat, Trump is now seen as the top dove, focusing on stability rather than a full strategic showdown. Lawmakers have pushed back with bipartisan bills, but none have passed yet. Trump is flying solo, making decisions independently on China, setting the stage for high-stakes talks that could reshape the rivalry.
