Chip export controls sidelined at Xi-Trump summit
Original: Why US chip controls took a back seat at the Xi-Trump summit
US semiconductor export restrictions were notably absent from the agenda when President Donald Trump met Chinese President Xi Jinping at their summit. Analysts say both leaders prioritised broader trade and geopolitical issues, leaving the tough technology controls largely untouched. Commentators are debating whether the omission signals a softening of Washington's chip policy toward Beijing or merely a temporary deferral of a festering dispute.
Why now: The meeting of the two leaders drew global attention and the downplaying of chip controls surprised observers tracking US-China tech tensions.
