To hear more, visit sinocism.com Show Notes: On today's show Andrew and Bill parse the messaging from both sides of last week's US-China summit in Beijing. Topics include: What the PRC means by \"a constructive relationship of strategic stability,\" why the US side adopted the framing as well, a relative absence of tangible deliverables, and why \"a calculated stalling tactic from both sides designed to manage risk\" may be a more accurate rendering of the status quo. From there: Trump's various comments on Taiwan spark concern and questions, plus notes on Rubio, Ratner, an indictment of Chinese shipping magnates, and an Iran ceasefire Xi calls \"imperative.\" At the end: Vladimir Putin's visit to Beijing, questions for the EU, and more bad news for Nvidia in China.
