It's much less developed.

In fact, there really is no evidence that this has become a functioning investment mechanism at all because there has been no news or developments based on the guidelines that were set from the May summit.

So the trade board

Has obviously moved further along down the road than this so-called investment board, which has seen exactly zero investments.

Now, next we have agriculture.

This is moving, but China still has a lot left to buy.

Beijing committed in May to at least $17 billion per year in non-soy US agriculture products through 2028.

While maintaining 25 million metric tons annually of soybean purchases, China's total purchases are about half of that 25 million ton annual target.

So the commitment is being implemented, but has not yet been completed.

There is still a time, obviously, by the end of the year though.

So we'll have to see where that goes.

Next, you have the Boeing deal.

This is probably the weakest commercial commitment that came out of the May summit.

Back then,

The deal involved two hundred Boeing aircraft, but by July negotiations had stalled because Beijing wanted long term guarantees that Washington would not later cut off access to engine parts, maintenance, or other support.

And because of those concerns, the deal has been described as falling apart.

Now next we have Iran and nuclear weapons.

Obviously the broad diplomatic position on Iran not getting a nuclear weapon is still there, but the US and China are certainly not aligned on how to handle Iran.

Back in May, both sides said Iran should not obtain a nuclear weapon.

Recently, Beijing called for Washington and Tehran to return to the June interim agreement, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and resume negotiations.
