The upcoming Trump–Xi summit in Beijing is increasingly viewed as one of the most important geopolitical meetings of the year. The agenda stretches far beyond trade and includes Iran, Taiwan, AI, rare earths, export controls, and strategic technology competition. Washington hopes Beijing will pressure Tehran to reduce tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, while China sees opportunities to strengthen its position on Taiwan and technology restrictions. The summit could influence global energy stability, semiconductor supply chains, and the broader balance of power between the U.S. and China.
