maybe im overthinking here ... The Taiwan talk just got very, very different. Trump's China visit (Mar 31) was locked before Operation Epic Furry.Then Khamenei dies 3 weeks prior.. timing seems to be too convenient to be accidental. This is a major trigger to tests Xi's response model before the visit to position pre-negotiation: China's entire asymmetric play was built on Iran escalation optionality. That card is now gone. Trump basically said "Your Belt and Road ally is decapitated. Now let's talk about trade/Taiwan"
