At the end of this week, that included President Trump's trip to China.

Let's turn now to the analysis of Brooks and K-part. That's the Atlantic's David Brooks and Jonathan K-part of MS Now. Great to see you both. Hey, I'm nice. See you? Let's start with the president's trip. He's now returned from China. The visit most analysis seems to show big on pageantry, kind of short on concrete deals.

And David, we did see the president talk earlier about the fact that Taiwan came up with Xi Jinping, that he was pressed about it, about the U.S. arms sales in particular, and he said

he wouldn't commit either way. That worries a lot of U.S. analysts looking at this.

How did you look at that?

Yeah, I thought the summit was a net positive.

First, the phrase everybody was using was stability.

And if you're going to have two world superpowers

that are side of enemies and friends at the same time,

stability is a good thing compared to the melodrama

we've had over the last year.

The second thing, as far as we know, Trump did not make

concessions on advanced technology that allowed China compete on AI. And I was a little worried about

that, so that seems to be good news. Now, on to the worry side. The first is Taiwan, as Nick Burns

said earlier in the program. A little waffling there from President Trump about doing the arms deal

with Taiwan and even rhetorically, a little like ambiguity, which didn't radiate strength.

Second, decoupling. We really are decoupling our economies, and that's been happening over the last two presidencies,

and that's necessary. We can't be so reliant on China. And if we can get goods

made in Vietnam, that's better than goods made in China. And are we reversing that? He sent

this big delegation. Are we reversing the decoupling effort, which I think is necessary?

And then the third worry is the long-term picture. Both sides use stability. What Xi Jinping means

by stability is you Americans,
