Connection thesis
Xi's warning about Taiwan being 'extremely dangerous' if mishandled, paired with contrasting US-China summit narratives (US focused on trade/fentanyl, China on stability), indicates unresolved core disagreement masquerading as diplomatic progress. This divergence suggests market pricing is ahead of actual risk reduction. Risk-off positioning should emerge as the narrative gap becomes evident.
