Connection thesis
China restores US beef trade as goodwill gesture coinciding with Trump's Beijing summit where tariffs are explicitly on the agenda. This signals strategic concessions on commodity trade to establish negotiating goodwill before broader tech/tariff discussions, indicating China is prioritizing relationship reset over trade friction.
