Here is what’s happening:

It has become possible since Wednesday night for a number of Chinese ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz in compliance with Iranian management protocols.
And the reality of this trip:
Chinese, U.S. presidents agree on new vision for bilateral ties in Beijing talks

The new vision will provide strategic guidance for China-U.S. relations over the next three years and beyond, Xi said when holding talks in Beijing with Trump, who is on a three-day state visit to China — the first such visit in the past nine years.
Xi defined the nature of “constructive strategic stability” as a positive stability with cooperation as the mainstay, a sound stability with moderate competition, a constant stability with manageable differences, and an enduring stability with promises of peace.
In the current trip, Trump is accompanied by top U.S. executives, including Apple’s Tim Cook, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang and Tesla’s Elon Musk, whom he called outstanding representatives from the U.S. business community.
