Last update: 42 minutes ago

Taiwan-WHO Clash: China doubled down after the 79th World Health Assembly rejected a Taiwan observer proposal for the 10th straight year, with Beijing calling the one-China principle “unchallengeable” and saying Taiwan can still report health emergencies under International Health Regulations. South China Sea: China’s defense ministry accused the Philippines of accelerating construction on reefs it says are illegally occupied, warning it will take “necessary measures” to protect sovereignty. US-China Trade Reset: China says it’s ready to fully implement the “constructive strategic stability” vision agreed with Trump, while Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang signals US AI chip access could open over time. AI as a Utility: China’s telecoms are selling AI token plans like phone services, and officials pushed a national integrated computing power network while urging deeper AI–advanced manufacturing integration. Economy Pressure: April data showed retail sales and factory output growing more slowly, and Baidu posted another quarterly revenue drop as it leans harder into AI. Disasters & Safety: In Guangxi, a 5.2 quake and a separate truck plunge into a river left deaths and missing people as rescue continues. Energy & Diplomacy: Putin is set to visit Beijing for talks with Xi, and China also highlighted expanded inbound shopping via optimized departure tax refunds.
