Potential recalibration of U.S.-China strategic competition toward managed coexistence. Xi's 'partnership over adversarial ties' framing suggests China seeking to reduce confrontation and preserve economic engagement. Trump's corporate delegation signals willingness to prioritize commercial interests over ideological competition.

Possible trade agreement negotiations, export control framework discussions, and Taiwan policy clarifications expected. Regulatory outcomes on AI governance and tech competition may emerge. Courts' limitations on Trump's tariff powers may constrain unilateral trade actions.
