The leaders reached significant agreements on trade, including China's commitment to purchase 200 Boeing jets and $10 billion in agricultural products. Crucially, President Xi pledged not to provide military equipment to Iran and offered to help facilitate the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Despite these economic gains, fundamental geopolitical tensions regarding Taiwan and the South China Sea remained largely unresolved during the final press briefing.
