Voters' anger narrows Trump's leverage in Xi talks
TL;DR
Trump enters high-stakes talks with Xi facing limited leverage due to U.S. voters’ sour sentiment, stubborn inflation, and a stalled housing market, while Xi can pursue a longer-term strategy and demand concessions later; Beijing’s position is strengthened by time and control, making outcomes depend more on political calculations than pure economic strength.
