For the first time in nearly a decade, the leaders of the world's two largest economies sat across from one another in Beijing, seeking to quiet the tremors of a trade war that had unsettled markets and supply chains across the globe. Trump and Xi met for over two hours at the Great Hall of the People, exchanging the language of partnership while the deeper questions of Taiwan, Iran, and strategic rivalry waited quietly in the margins.
