Xi throws some scraps to the Americans, meanwhile securing China's energy needs, and simultaneously providing financial support to Iran to help it fight off the US and Israel.
And Trump thinks he just won. Xi just showed him what the Art of the Deal really looks like.

How is China getting through the blockade to get their oil and how is 200 airliners scraps?

May 14, 2026 11:32am

A Chinese ship passed through Hormuz (and the blockade) yesterday. More will follow because Trump has just been bought off with a PR "win". And 200 airliners can be purchased over the course of years, delayed, cancelled. The important thing for Trump is that he can say he got something. Meanwhile, Xi just told him to his face that they will ignore the US blockade and continue funding his adversary. And Trump agreed.

Ships have been allowed passage from non-Iranian ports since the blockade started. Do you have proof this ship left an Iranian port? Where is this Xi quote about him saying he's ignoring the blockade?

Either the US will lift its blockade altogether -- possibly as part of a wider ceasefire arrangement -- or Trump will look the other way when Chinese ships pass through the strait. But one way or another, China will get Iranian oil, and Iran gets paid. Either that, or Boeing doesn't get its order,, Trump walks away from his meeting with Xi empty-handed, and all for the sake of a blockade that cannot be continued indefinitely anyway. The idea that the US Navy is going to park sufficient ships in that area to carry out an effective blockade for months or years is not a serious argument.

Anecdotal. Speculation. Misinformation. Everything based on feelings. But trust me...

I would say reasoning from the available information.
But have it your way. We'll see whether I'm right soon enough.
And if I'm not, I'm sure you'll let me know.
Fair enough?

The BA deal with China is something that's been in the works for months. The rumor was it would be 500 planes. So they announced 200 planes and BA stock has dropped >6% today. Because it's a way smaller order than what was hoped for. For context, Qatar Air bought 210 planes from BA last year; Vietnam bought 50 this year. And none of these sales has anything to do with Trump.

China has been stockpiling oil for over a year. They have lots of excess capacity. 200 airliners is a short term play to make little Donald feel like he's won, meanwhile they're waiting for the right opportunity to take Taiwan. China is focused on the long game, 50-100 years out. America is focused on getting through this administration without having to move into a box.

Could Trump be dumb enough to open Iranian oil to China? It is hard to imagine but not impossible.

May 14, 2026 11:48am

Trump's rep as a great dealmaker is one of the biggest cons in history. There will be some deals trumpeted later today and tomorrow, but watch for "rare earths." That's where China has the most leverage over the West.

May 14, 2026 12:12pm

That and selling chips to China. Trumps deal making skills are rudimentary and rely upon 1. getting leverage, 2. scaring the other side, 3. not delivering on his promises

Takes a big anti-China stance in the US and looks like a beggar in China. Should have made diplomatic and respectable deals to begin with rather than bullying and grandstanding.

The market is truly being manipulated. There's no definitive truth. The economic data and charts differ greatly and are unrealistic. Trading at this point is futile. What an irony.
