## Resource

The US-China summit is touted as a breakthrough, but 4 unresolved conflicts stand in the way: AI chip export controls and smuggling routes through Singapore and Thailand, China’s satellite support for Iran, the Taiwan reunification deadline of 2027, and the decades-long unfair China trade disputes and Section 301 investigations at the USTR. Between the Supermicro founder personally smuggling NVIDIA servers to China, NVIDIA Blackwell and Vera Rubin chip restrictions, the Shadow Fleet sanctions evasion network in Hong Kong, are there just too many issues to resolve peacefully?
