Re: Item 1?

I don't think that item has anything to do with courts. It is pretty clear what it means: as a principle, global supply chains shouldn't be dragged into arguments about security in an irrational way.

I assume it is one of the biggest wins China would like to see from this initiative: it wants to protect its economic position as the world's leading supplier of manufactured goods and reduce the disruption to that from politics. Especially, of course, from Trump.

Seems a fair point, although the rest of the world (as purchasers of these things from China) would certainly want to see some movement from China in return. That is probably why they had to introduce the rest of the points.
