Washington (CNN)The arrest of a top Chinese technology executive should have been a triumphant moment for the Trump administration.

The volatility put a spotlight on doubts about Trump’s ability to deliver on his promises with China — and exposed a clash between his policy goals in China and his efforts to crack down on technology companies and other actors.
