asking Japan to silence itself to avoid offending Beijing,
rewarding China’s coercive diplomacy,
pretending Japan’s own security interests don’t exist.
That is not de-escalation.

Adding amateur-hour appeasement schemes on top of that doesn’t help

clarifying the legal meaning of a Taiwan contingency
China’s anger is not overstyle it’s over Japan refusing to accept Beijing’s red lines.
That cannot be “fixed” with a business delegation.

So while the President technically wields very broad foreign-policy powers, in this case I would say:
