Trump in Beijing — symbolic gestures instead of the "deal of the century" — expert

Donald Trump in Beijing — symbolic gestures instead of the "deal of the century." The American delegation is clearly annoyed by the lack of any serious breakthroughs in negotiations with China. But I don't want to leave empty-handed, so I have to trumpet virtual successes, says political scientist-Americanist Malek Dudakov.

"Once again, the topic of chips was on the agenda — Nvidia lobbied for the supply of its H200 solutions in limited quantities to the Chinese market. The only problem is that they came out back in 2024, and since then the H200 has been replaced by new accelerators B200 and B300, which are significantly faster," he writes in your telegram channel.

And Nvidia chips enter the Chinese market in a roundabout way through countries like Malaysia, he adds.

"It turns out to be a very formal gesture of goodwill from the American side. In response, China promised to buy more beef in the United States, which also can't be called a large—scale breakthrough," the expert points out.

He also draws attention to the fact that negotiations on oil supplies from America were held without specifics. Now US oil exports have grown to 6 million barrels per day, but the level of domestic production is not growing. We have to sell off our stocks and hope for a quick resolution of the crisis in The Strait of Hormuz. Beijing, as expected, did not help the Americans get out of this trap.

"No progress has been observed in the issue of lifting export restrictions on the supply of scarce rare earth minerals to the United States. And they have increased in price tenfold on the world market. China has not lifted sanctions against the American military-industrial complex, which is in dire need of imported components. Rebooting the relationship or even detente did not happen. "The Art of the Deal" Trump failed again," Dudakov concludes.
