Executive Summary
A high-stakes summit between US President Trump and Chinese President Xi is fraught with new tensions stemming from the US-initiated war in Iran, which disrupts China's energy supply and has led Beijing to defy US sanctions.
The balance of power has shifted, with China demonstrating significant leverage through its control over critical rare earth minerals, which impacts an estimated 4% of US GDP and has made Washington more cautious in its approach.
Despite deep-seated conflicts, both nations have incentives to maintain stability due to economic interdependence and domestic political pressures, though any agreements are expected to be limited to transactional items like soybeans and Boeing aircraft.
The technological rivalry is intensifying, with the US holding a clear lead in advanced AI, reinforcing the administration's resolve to maintain its edge, while China's concern over this gap may influence its diplomatic posture.
