Thesis
The Sep-24 Xi-Trump White House summit (first Xi visit since 2015) as a dated de-risking/re-escalation binary within the US 'Four Pillars' China strategy (reindustrialization/tariffs, tech containment on AI/semis, allied defence burden-shifting, de-escalation channels). Mechanism: a G2 framework outcome that transmits through broad risk sentiment and the EM-FX/China-proxy channel; bears on 6A and ES via risk tone, no direct primary-tier future.
