General Discussion

1) There is a deal, and it's an okey-doke. Essentially meaningless concessions form China that Trump can trumpet, but Xi is just playing Trump, and he is placating him while he is very effectively expanding Chinese influence

2) Trump thinks he has a deal, but also thinks he's the master of the deal and he'll fuck is all up by blowing up the previously agreed to deal. He does this alot.

3) There's a lot of pomp and we walk away with "Concepts of a Deal" that Trump will trumpet and comes to nothing.


I think 1 is most likely, but any of them could happen.
