Trump-Xi Washington summit tests strategic stability commitment

Xi Jinping is expected to meet Trump in Washington this week, following May talks in Beijing and ahead of the November APEC summit in Shenzhen. The meeting will test whether the 'constructive China-US relationship of strategic stability' translates into practical arrangements, though deep differences on trade, technology, Taiwan, and regional security persist. The outcome is uncertain, with the summit's success likely measured by follow-through rather than immediate deliverables.
