Trump said his relationship with Xi was "very good" on May XX. A strange way to show it, given the admin's XX% tariff on Chinese goods and an Aug XX deadline for a "durable" deal. The pageantry of a summit masks the chaos of the policy.

This isn't just about China. A July Senate report found the admin's "chaotic gutting" of the State Dept has undermined US competition. The results are in: confidence in the US president among key allies plummeted from XX% in 2024 to just XX% this year, while more now see China as the world's top economy.

Trading allies for autocrats and diplomacy for tariffs. The stage is set for a photo-op, but the world is watching the power shift.
