Connection thesis
Trump's Taiwan arms sales signaling is being parsed by Beijing as a test of his commitment to the 'permission structure' established in recent Xi-Trump talks. If arms sales are framed as leverage rather than strategic commitment, Beijing may interpret this as bad faith, triggering reassessment of the diplomatic freeze lift and potential cooling of tech/trade optimism that drove the recent rally.
