Two of the world's most consequential leaders met in Beijing this week as Donald Trump arrived for a two-day summit with Xi Jinping, carrying with him the weight of a fractured trade relationship, a technology rivalry, and the unresolved tensions of a region on edge. The visit, framed publicly around commerce and the promise of open markets, quietly carried the deeper questions that define this era: who controls the technologies of the future, who bears the costs of war, and what guarantees — if any — still hold for the smaller nations caught between great powers.

Impacto Geopolítico
Trump's Beijing visit signals potential US-China trade negotiations, but core disputes over technology, Taiwan, and Iran remain unresolved, with limited prospects for fundamental policy shifts.
