US-China optics, thin on deals: Trump’s Beijing visit wrapped with Xi’s “constructive strategic stability” framing, but analysts say the concrete trade deliverables still fall short—especially as Taiwan and Iran remain pressure points. UN labour agency fight: The US backed Russia and China to dilute a Europe-led resolution condemning Ukraine, signaling a widening bloc at the ILO. Tibet crackdown: China arrested a Tibetan lama, shut a Tibetan vocational school, and detained dozens over protests tied to illegal gold mining. India’s culture + industry: Odisha’s Odissi festival and Rajasthan’s first semiconductor plant in Bhiwadi highlight a push from heritage to high-tech. Health warning: Delhi experts warn hypertension is spreading fast among young Indians. Smart tourism: Singapore is trialling Chinese AI robot-dog guides at Sentosa, turning tech into a crowd-pleaser. Pop culture, fast: A Teochew-linked indie film surge is pulling tourists, while Japan’s anime market faces new friction as China’s interest shifts.
