Instead, the visit revealed how brittle the relationship between the world\u2019s two largest economies has become. Presidents <strong>Donald Trump<\/strong> and <strong>Xi Jinping<\/strong> spent three days working through a crowded agenda: tariffs, rare earths, AI chips, Taiwan, and the Iran war. But the talks ended without major deals or big public commitments. Even China\u2019s pledge to buy 200 <strong>Boeing<\/strong> aircraft ended up sending the US planemaker\u2019s shares lower as investors had hoped for a much bigger contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tone at the summit was cordial, but the diplomatic distance indisputable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-feuding-powerhouses\"><strong>The Feuding Powerhouses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The US and China generate more than a third of global GDP, which means their disputes are never strictly bilateral. Their tiffs spill over onto factory floors, commodity markets, and grocery bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tariffs remain the yardstick of the relationship. US duties on Chinese goods briefly hit nearly 150% in 2025, effectively freezing trade. Today, the tariffs collected average about 22%. That figure is much more reasonable in comparison, but still a high threshold for many companies to cross. China maintains a 10% blanket tariff on most US goods, with extra charges on energy and agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the tariff tit-for-tat, the Chinese export machine has powered on, with the trade surplus exceeding one trillion dollars for the first time in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"637\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/Chart_US-China-Tariffs.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-242855 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/Chart_US-China-Tariffs.png 1030w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/Chart_US-China-Tariffs-700x433.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/Chart_US-China-Tariffs-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/Chart_US-China-Tariffs-768x475.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; aspect-ratio: 1030\/637;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>US officials say both sides are making progress earmarking roughly $30 billion in \u201cnon\u2011sensitive\u201d goods that could see reduced tariffs. The US delegation also touted deals on agriculture, although China was tight-lipped about whether anything was agreed. American farmers may feel cautiously optimistic. But Beijing\u2019s mixed signals \u2014 including a brief, quickly reversed approval for US beef imports \u2014 showed how fraught this trading partnership remains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-elephant-in-the-room\"><strong>The Elephant in the Room<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Xi set one ground rule on the first day: Taiwan is non\u2011negotiable to China. If the US takes a wrong step on the topic, the relationship breaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beijing sees the island as part of its territory and has made reunification a long\u2011term goal. Washington doesn\u2019t recognize Taiwan as an independent state but supports its self-defense and opposes any forced change to the status quo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>China is pushing for a clearer stance from the US, making the balancing act harder. The US has approved $11 billion in new weapons for Taiwan, with another package expected to reach $14 billion. After the summit, President Trump refused to confirm whether he would allow the second package to go ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Xi warned that missteps could lead to \u201c<em>clashes and even conflicts<\/em>.&#8221; This tricky topic underpins everything else that the two giants negotiate on, from tariffs to rare earths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-rare-earth-grip\"><strong>The Rare-Earth Grip<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>China controls almost all global refining for rare earth metals like samarium, yttrium, and dysprosium. These are essential for aircraft, EV motors, chipmaking, and defense systems. The dominance over rare earths has become China\u2019s perhaps most potent economic weapon, and it has not been afraid to wield it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beijing halted most exports last spring in response to the US tariffs, with some metals fetching more than 100 times higher prices outside China. A tougher set of controls was postponed for one year in October, and companies around the world were hoping for the Trump-Xi summit to extend the pause. Yet, no breakthrough was announced on the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The presence of tech industry heavy-weights \u2014 Nvidia\u2019s <strong>Jensen Huang<\/strong>, Apple\u2019s <strong>Tim Cook, <\/strong>and Tesla\u2019s <strong>Elon Musk<\/strong> \u2014 in Beijing showed how deeply American firms depend on predictable access to China\u2019s industrial ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-silicon-standoff\"><strong>The Silicon Standoff<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Then there\u2019s the fight over access to high-end chips, which are crucial in the race to make the most advanced AI models. This dispute has taken a strange turn, as it\u2019s now China that\u2019s blocking the sales of US chips to its domestic companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Washington has given Nvidia a green light to sell its <em>second-best<\/em> AI chips to China. Around ten Chinese tech firms have already received US permissions to buy up to 75,000 units of H200 GPUs. But not a single chip has been delivered yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because China wants to reduce reliance on US technology and push local champions like Huawei, whose chips can already run <strong>DeepSeek<\/strong>\u2019s latest AI model. Before the export controls, Nvidia held a 95% market share in advanced chips in China. That era is over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-optics-over-outcomes\">Optics Over Outcomes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump and Xi appear to get along personally, but friendly handshakes and garden walks are not enough to resolve structural tension. Businesses on both sides are attempting to navigate two vast markets that increasingly pull in different directions \u2014 politically, technologically, and strategically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for all the friction over tariffs and Taiwan, the world\u2019s two largest economies still share responsibilities that are bigger than their rivalry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take the Strait of Hormuz. China is the biggest buyer of Gulf oil. The US would benefit from stable energy markets and cheaper gasoline. Yet, Beijing and Washington can\u2019t seem to cooperate on something as fundamental as keeping oil flowing through the crucial shipping route. A lukewarm statement that the parties want the strait to remain open is unlikely to bring the crude prices down by much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Download <a href=\"https:\/\/ibkrinvestmentor.com\/en\" id=\"https:\/\/ibkrinvestmentor.com\/en\">IBKR InvestMentor<\/a> app for free, bite-sized lessons that build your confidence in the financial markets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A US president landing in Beijing after nearly a decade could have marked a diplomatic reset.
