If you notice the pattern here, it is that Xi has steered clear of mentioning any specifics about the deal with the US. But then again, he typically doesn’t do that. We’ll likely hear more specifics from communique by either the commerce ministry or the foreign ministry. So, yeah. But at least for now, the tone put out by Xi is more measured. It’s just more of reaffirming that both sides should continue to strive towards making things better, not that things are “amazing”.
