Here's the chess move hiding inside the history lesson:
Xi framed China as Athens, the rising, dynamic power. America as Sparta, the paranoid incumbent trying to hold on.
Then asked, live, in front of Trump: "Can we avoid the trap?"
That's a demand, not a question.
Trump's team didn't mention Taiwan in the readout. Xi did.
One man came with a vision. The other came with CEOs. You tell me who ran that room.
