A rare tour of President Xi Jinping's residence capped Donald Trump's China visit, underscoring warm personal diplomacy between the two leaders. While the summit featured praise and symbolic gestures, it delivered few concrete outcomes, with limited progress on trade.
Key tensions remain unresolved, particularly over Taiwan, which Beijing claims as its territory. Trump said he is weighing a major arms deal for the island, highlighting the delicate balance between cooperation and conflict in US-China relations.
